[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 4468239, member: 2209"] Dragonlance I think is just right out for including a new pantheon. DL is fairly dependent on having the core DL pantheon with no others. DL does however have a possible inclusion point, using the Fire Island pantheon as an overlay of the DL pantheon for a different culture. Different cultures and races in dragonlance call the same gods by different names and have different views and legends about them. This is difficult however as the DL pantheon is divided along alignment lines to create a cosmic balance and have spheres and portfolios very different from the Fire Island ones. For instance I'm not sure where the three moon gods of magic would map to a fire island one. There is an evil sea goddess who rules envy and has the form of a dragonturtle, I'm not sure if she would be the sea god or the storm one. DL deity concepts IMO: Takhisis - Evil Sargonnas - Vengeance Morgion - Disease Chemosh - Undeath Hiddukel - Greed/Trickery Zeboim - Sea/Envy/Storms Nuitari - Evil Magic Paladine - Good Kiri Jolith - Courage/Justice Mishakal - Healing Branchala - Song Habakuk - Animals Majere - Law/Enlightenment Solinari - Good Magic Gilean - Knowledge Reorx - Crafting Chislev - Nature Zivilin - Plants Shinare - Orderly business Sirrion - Flame Lunitari - Neutral Magic There is also the High god who created everything, Chaos who was second to the High god but above the 21 god pantheon. Current DL has Takhisis dead and paladine gave up his divinity to balance that out. So I'd go: Whiro - Morgion Tu - Sargonnas Tiniaru - Habakuk Tiki - Paladine Tahwiri - Zeboim Tane - Zivilin Tangaroa - Chislev Rongo - Shinare Maui - Hiddukel/Reorx Mahuika - Sirrion Hine - Chemosh Haumia - Habakuk Papa - Chislev/Takhisis Rongi - Paladine? I'm sure there are islander types somewhere in Krynn (the world of Dragonlance) but I'm not sure where. [/QUOTE]
