Lands of Iuz and Alignment Traits (from MotP)

Welverin

First Post
While reading the article on the four gods in the latest Dragon I thought giving Iuz's lands the minor chaos and/or evil traits from Manual of the Planes.

What I've been having trouble deciding is how much of an area should be effected. Should it be limited to Dorakaa (the capital for those who don't know), most of his controlled lands, a three mile radius around Iuz himself (one mile for each point of his divine rank), or as little as 30 feet (the size of his divine aura).

Reasons for each:
Dorakaa and beyond, because his influence on the land over the years has perverted it.

3 miles, the mere presence of a deity affects the plane, this is also the range of his senses, so maybe everything within his reach just gets twisted.

30' (his divine aura), likely the same as 3 miles.

So anyone have any suggestions on what would be the most fitting?

Hi there! :)

Tricky one. Firstly the Prime Material is not Divinely Morphic and even if it was Iuz as a mere Demigod cannot manipulate it.

However, personally I would say that even though Iuz direct control would only be a 500ft. radius that you could apply the traits to at least the whole city of Dorakaa, perhaps even the whole 'Land of Iuz'!?
 

I don't see as a case of Iuz manipulating the plane throughout the divinely morphic trait, which I realize the prime doesn't have, but I feel a god who resides on the plane should have some sort of effect on it and I chose the alignment traits to represent that effect.

Of course when I came up with the idea I thought he had been around longer and had forgot he's only been free for a couple decades now.

Thanks for the replies guys, they helped push me over the edge and decide limiting it to Dorakaa is the way to go.
