[QUOTE="Distracted DM, post: 9304650, member: 6894926"] Oh boy, great question. My deities are based on the age that the world is currently in. Gods rise and fall with the turning of the world and its people. In the current age, the primary gods are two brothers who rose to divinity, and who in turn raise up worthy folk to be saints and harrows- those are the deities people actually pray to, not so much the two gods; they're too busy to answer individual prayers. But this age is an aberration- only two gods? And both of them once mortal? In past ages there were many, more like classic DnD: pantheons. Why things are the way they are in the current world is one of the "great mysteries" of my setting. I also like to sprinkle gods from our world into my ancient pantheons- my players have found ancient sunken temples to Poseidon, they've seen ancient carvings of Artemis bringing low a child of Fenrir, and they've spoken and/or fought with echoes of dead Babylonian and African gods. One of the players had their character convert and found a new cult to Poseidon, potentially bringing that faith back after it was dead for millennia. [/QUOTE]
