[QUOTE="aco175, post: 7330884, member: 27385"] There are several good threads on here before on this you can look up for ideas. I always liked having only several gods to round out the alignments and core beliefs. Each god has several areas or domains which can overlap but I do not think it is needed. The gods can have different names based on location and race. There can be factions in each god's portfolio that do not get along or even believe they worship the same god. All of this cuts down on the number of gods, but adds more regional and opportunities for variation. An example is a sun god. Farmers may worship him and call him one name as the bringer of bounty. A desert tribe may fear his wrath and call him the uncaring. As the god of fire, dwarves also worship him, but see him as a dwarf and do not believe the farmers who tried to convince them that he is the same god. There can also be several knight orders and groups associated with the many aspects of this one god. Some or all of the friction by doing this may go away with the divine magic of speaking with gods and such, but could also be made more disparate by having each faction just call the other fake news and such.
