I'd get into a boxing match with you about this one, but that's because of my personal feelings towards Her, more than any beef I'd have with your fantasy campaign.  You might want to reserve the CN/CE for the Dark Side of the Moon, and create yourself a schizophrenic Goddess, which frankly, I just thought of this second.This would make you the FIRST PERSON to do a Moon Goddess justice.  Capricious, predictable only if you understand the pattern and the struggle; most people assume that when it's Dark, it's evil, when it's Light, it's good.  That's wrong.  It represents the struggle, and as it waxes and wanes, so to does her sanity.  Those who worship her can be any Chaotic, but their morality (Good/Neutral/Evil) determines which domains they choose from.I'm bad at domains off the top of my head, but you could explain to your players (as a dirty little lie) that her two sides are actually CG & CN; what you aren't telling them is that there's a third, deeply suppressed personality, CE.  This also ties in mythologically with the concept of the Maiden, the Mother & the Matron (Child/Woman/Crone).  Your Maiden is innocent; she's a flirt, she's a tease, but she gives it up.  She loves life and all that it offers.  She's sexy, in an alluring way that you can bring home to mama.The Mother is the dirty older woman (and we're getting out of canon here, but I'm in a groove) who's seen the world, who knows its pains.  She's gotten more rebellious as she's gotten older, willing to do more to get her way, willing to tell more lies to get men into her bed.  She DOES care, but she's also more "me" focused; she's given part of her life already, and she doesn't want to let the rest of it go without a fight.The Matron is the old, bitter insane witch, representative of the frustration of a life spent caring for others, a life spent raising children, a life spent outside of the party, in the house, where she was left with only her garden and herself.  The frusrtation of loneliness that many women feel with the pressure of old age, and no children or husband around any more.  She is frustration, anger and resentment incarnate, and cares for nothing except showing that pain to others.  CE.But we don't talk about her, do we?  She's our dirty little secret, isn't she?  No one wants to believe the capricious, beautiful moon could be so flawed and pock-marked.My thoughts.  Otherwise, yes, they're good enough to introduce to players.</blockquote>
