Message: <blockquote data-quote="Krishnath" data-source="post: 832442" data-attributes="member: 56">Interesting, as for drow being monotheistic (sp?) or not, is up for discussion, as for example in the Forgotten Realms they are Polytheistic (having no less than 6 or 7 deities!), but Lloth (or Lolth depending on the world) is always their chief deity.As for how the deities of Areh are, I have all kinds of weird stuff, ranging from acended mortals (azurewing for example, the deity of chivalrous warfare and hunting birds), Deified Abominations (such as Lord Doom, an abomination from the plane of shadow that helped repel a far realms invasion, and thus became deified), ancient gods of dragons (Io anyone?), all types of deities exist in Areh, I've even coopted the Olympian and Pharaonic pantheons for the campaing world (with a few additions, such as Polyphon the threeheaded dragon deity of monsters whom I added to the olympian...)As for the alignment of drow, in my campaign world drow are not born evil, but rather their general alignment is rather determined by their society (and religion), a society that promotes individualism and survival of the fittest. In fact only about 50% of drow children reach adulthood, having been killed either by harsh tutors, other children, their own siblings, or even their parents. This is to make sure that only strong, talented and healthy drow reach adulthood. At least in theory... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Not all drow are evil either, and only about 5% are actually CE, most of the drow of Areh in fact are CN or LE. Also roughly one in five drow actually live outside of the underdark. Also there are no less than 6 subtypes of drow (as well as a few mutant drow, such as the droloch, that have been engineered by magic to be used as weapons), you can find the (short) descriptions of what they look like farther up in this thread, one of the types actually has red hair!But as I said earlier, what I need is some ideas for various types of drow deities. Such as a drow deity of magic, perhaps one of fertility or something else entirely, any ideas are welcome, be they acended mortals or otherwise, I'm not to picky. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
