[QUOTE="blackshirt5, post: 1435174, member: 7871"] OK, I'm working on my homebrew world again and I need help with Cosmology and Gods. Has anyone ever had one location in their world where you can cross over into the Realm of the Gods to meet them? In mine, I'm planning on it being a Mountain called Mount Batista(name subject to change), and then somewhere else to cross into the Underworld and meet the King of the Dead and his servitors; I'm unsure about Hell, as I don't think Hell should have a permanent entrance, but it's still a possibility. If I do this, should I cut out the planes shifting spells from the spell lists? I don't want players to just be able to get there whenever they want. Also, has anybody ever had gods that can only be found in on place, or pantheonic wars, in their campaigns? I'm playing with the idea of having the Gods of Evil, who were overthrown by the Gods of Mount Batista; how would you work with that if you were in my shoes? And has anyone ever had temples that housed "little gods" or gods that had lost most of their power? I have one god written up for my campaign, Ogriath, the God of Ogres, who was almost killed in the War of the Gods and was bound into two statues in his temple by his former servants; the evil ogres(as opposed to the good ones who sided with the Gods of Light) consumed what power was left over and became the Ogre Magi(who take an important place in the setting). Also, can anybody help me out with names for the gods? I'm running out of ideas. [/QUOTE]
