[QUOTE="Nellisir, post: 372093, member: 70"] Hi Jesse... :-) I've taken to using a single, fairly fixed, but extensive pantheon in my game. The oldest gods are the Elder Host, who created fiends, celestials, elementals, and the Four Races (dragons, giants, humans, and gnomes). Their attention and interests span known existence under a multitude of faces and names, but they mirror mortals as much as mortals mirror them, and they are as prone to jealousy, rage, and lust as the next (grecian) divine power. They have frequent affairs with mortals, and the divine children are collectively known as the Dalerain. Their attentions are much more likely to be fixated on a particular region. The lowest class of the divine are the Envidier, super-mortal heros who function as icons, inspirations, and supernatural patrons. Elves, dwarves, and a number of other races are interlopers from other planes, but their pantheons have generally not survived, have been absorbed into the Dalerain, or have become withdrawn. The Dalerain and Elder Host welcome worship from any and all sources; race is not a barrier. More later, after the game... Nell. Whose players are about to enter the first barrow of the Kings of Woe... [/QUOTE]
