[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 7960338, member: 6871653"] In you wanted to go all the way with a Greek/Norse-style petty, vindictive, lustful and flawed pantheon, you could take the ''core'' deities, add the main racial gods of each race to the list, and have all other ''race-specific gods of the same folio as a core deity'' be the children/creations/born-of-the-blood-of X and working as exarch/demi deities/archon of their progenitors. ie: Sehanine Moonbow, the wandering star (exarch): watch over the lost and the lovers. Daughter of Correlon (core deity, elven domain) and Selune (core deity, moon domain) Vergadain, the laughing dwarf (exarch): watch over the trades dwarven cities. Created by Moradin (core deity, dwarf domain) with living-gold given by Waukeen (core deity, wealth domain) to celebrate a new treaty between the two of them. Abbathor, the wyrm of avarice (exarch): watch over coin counting and hoarding. Created by Tiamat (core deity, evil dragon domain) from the flesh and blood of Moradin (core deity, dwarf domain) that he lost while fighting her in a forgotten battle. Othea, the mother of giants (exarch): wife of Annam All-Father. Born of Talos (core deity, storm domain) and Sune (core deity, love domain). Sutr, the lord of fire giants (exarch): watch over the fire giants in their quest to restore Lost Ostoria. Born from Annam All-Father (core deity, giant domain) and an unknown fire primordial in an attempt to retaliate against his wife's affair with Ulutiu (vestige, cold domain) [/QUOTE]
