[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 8519770, member: 2209"] I run a mashup homebrew setting with the reality of gods and cosmology a bit of a mystery. I have divine magic as a power source and all clerics are mechanically godless while many believe their power comes from gods directly and proselytize that as dogma. So there are multiple pantheons worshiped and multiple contradictory views of the Cosmology and planes. Mostly I like the 4e World Axis Cosmology and like islands in the Astral Sea as homes for most gods, but I am also fine with having elemental lords on the elemental planes/chaos, and things like Demon Lords and Archfey and Old Ones as gods who might live in other places (Is the abyss in the bottom of the Elemental Chaos or the outer planes? Feywild. Are the Old Ones out among the stars or beyond this reality trying to crack their way in?) and beings on the world worshiped as gods. So whether Zeus is an Olympian god on the plane/astral island of Mount Olympus is possible, but also there is the view that Zeus was actually a storm giant on an actual mountain in the world who ruled in ancient times and was euhemerized into a mortal view of him as a god from another plane. Dragon cults are also a thing in my world and your cult dragon might show up in your land or run the cult organization from his lair. Some believe that little gods are everywhere, so every river and household has its own god who is there. [/QUOTE]
