[QUOTE="DarkMoon250, post: 8170735, member: 7026427"] I'm playing a Cleric of the Twilight Domain in my first campaign, which is located in a homebrew setting that was once ruled by Osiris and his gang as featured in the DMG. My character has the Far Traveler background, and comes from a town that was long hidden away by deep forest and fey-magic until the evil empire came a knockin'. My DM and I agreed that this place has been cut off from the surrounding world for so long, they retain a culture that the rest of the continent has long moved on from, and they worship deities whose names have been lost to time. What this means is that I'm allowed to take a deity from Egyptian mythology that isn't on the DMG list, and make it the focus of my Cleric's faith. We've thrown about ideas on what gods would work for the Twilight Domain, and why it is that the rest of the world has forgotten them [either they did something to earn the scorn of the other gods or of some mortals, or they're more primordial and less anthropic than the gods who emerged from them later]. We've narrowed it down to either the Moon and wandering god Khonsu, the sky and star goddess Nut, or the primordial dusk and darkness god Kek, but I'm personally unable to make the final call, and he wants the decision to be my own instead of his, so I come to this gathering place of fellow dice-rollers to gather advice and inspiration. It's already been established in the first session that the character was a night-watchman on the outskirts of the hub city defending it from raids by bandits and monsters [he was a Cleric before he was a guard, though], views said monsters with some degree of empathy and believes some have goodness in them, and his faith is defined by a love of the beauty of the shadows, evening, moonlight and night, and the mysteriousness of his god. Not sure which deity this might steer him towards. [/QUOTE]
