[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8035570, member: 6704184"] Okay, i'd forgotten about the dragon gods. I don't really ever do anything with dragon religion in my Eberron games, so, fair enough. I'm well aware of how the Sovereign Host works, and that's fine for Eberron, where I find the Host to be by far the most boring religion. I'm just not into doing the same thing in a new world, except perhaps as one culture's belief, like how Romans liked to pretend that other culture's gods were just differently named versions of their own, but most other cultures learned about foriegn gods and viewed them as distinct gods, sometimes adding them to their worship as distinct gods. Anyway the dragonborn culture viewing all gods as part of the Uoroboros figure Io is fine and cool, but in general I'd rather have the various people's either share gods or have their own localized gods that are not ever treated as an aspect of anyone else. One Island might call Pelor "Belor" or "Pelkor" "Pell", but it's "Odin" and "Woden", not "Odin is Mercury" or whatever. [/QUOTE]
