Taking to the seas? Better pay homage to the Goddess of the Sea, even if she's a despicable b***h. Spring is late in coming? Somebody didn't pay their dues to the winter god or goddess. Or perhaps the sun god is being a prick? Regardless, the gods are playing their power game and mortals are stuck in between.I also like to incorporate lesser, more local deities in my game. My last FR game played around the area of Everlund prominently featured Shiallia - a Korred deity of nature also known as the 'midwife of the high forest'. Not exactly the most player-facing deity and she didn't have any temple, shrine, or dedicated followers, but she was important to the local population and had a big part in the story.</blockquote>
