Message: <blockquote data-quote="Orius" data-source="post: 3936553" data-attributes="member: 8863">I'm going to start out with the history I've fleshed out.  Much of it is pretty much recycled from older campaigns, and there's plenty of stuff that's liberally ripped off from older D&D material.  Basically, I'm taking the game's internal mythology and putting my own interpretation on it for my particular world.  I'm starting with primordial history.The Eldest AgeThe Eldest Age begins with the birth of the Elder Gods.  The Elder Gods are beings of the Far Realm, and the create the multiverse in a pocket of the Far Realm.  They start by separating the Inner Planes and then craft the Material Plane out of their essense.The main Elder Gods:The Ouroboris: a mighty serpentine entity of great power.  He (she? it?)'s pretty central to the cosmology, and there's more below.Tharizdun: yeah, I pretty much ripped him off from Greyhawk, always thought he was cool, but I'm putting my own spin on things.  He's sort of the origin of evil, or more accurately everything that's wrong with the multiverse.  He always causes trouble for the other Elder Gods, and when something goes wrong, they blame him for it.  He never accepts blame or denies responsibility for anything, and enjoys being blamed for something even when it's not his doing.  The mad and crazed cultists of the campaign worship him.The Lady of Pain: placed in this category for the times I might want to use the old Planescape material, but she might get dropped with the 4e cosmology, should I choose to follow it.Panzuriel: I never really payed much attention to him in Monster Mythology, until I saw Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.  I'm sure everyone sees where I'm going with this; he's going to be used as a rather blatant rip-off of Davey Jones, as an evil primordial sea god that uses the creatures of the deep and pirate zombies as his minions.Other Elder Gods are basically the deities of many cold-blooded and invertebrate D&D races:  Ilsensine, the Great Mother, Blibdoolpoolp, Juiblex, etc.  There are also undefined dead gods in the category as well.</blockquote>
