[QUOTE="Dinkeldog, post: 370964, member: 195"] I've got several pantheons in my homebrew. I look at the people that inhabit the region and decide what's important to them, then I decide what natural forces the people might personify. So my primary area has a group of 7 deities under an Earth Mother and her Consort, the Sun. Then deities for Agriculture married to the Huntsmen, the twin daughters of the Earth: Wisdom and Luck, and a non-adversarial God of Night. There are gaping holes, but the backstory includes deities that have deliberately sacrificed their place in this world to keep at bay a Great Evil. Another pantheon is for a group of mountain and glacier-dwelling people that tend toward barbarism. There is no deity for agriculture, and no mother-figure. The leader of the pantheon challenges his people to valorous deeds and brave deaths. The Maiden of Winter is the Evil Snow Queen-type that delights in causing pain. The Riders on the plain keep a pantheistic faith with shaman as their holy advisors. The monotheistic faith developed after the Good aspect of a trio of gods finally defeated the Evil aspect with the aid of a group of adventurers. As the Neutral deity warned, the Good aspect started developing more Evil traits, and eventually cast the Neutral deity out and removed his name from the Holy Texts. The culture involved is a decadent Empire that engaged in religious persecution that forced a splinter group to relocate to where the first pantheon above is. [/QUOTE]
