[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 9304739, member: 52734"] For my old homebrew, the Old Gods are those from Legend & Lore (Babylonian, Egyptian, Hindu, Greek, Norse, etc.); those gods sleep and a new pantheon has arisen, who are composed of ascended mortals. There is some fear of the old gods awakening from the calls of the faithful - which has happened once in the past, and it was not good for the mortal races. Characters can choose to worship the new or the old, though the new are more encouraged. Pantheons exist, though even pantheonists tend to favor one deity over all others. ----- In another campaign (Dragons Must Die), the gods are dead, slain by the hosts of Hell. Only echoes of their power exist; the more that is used by clerics, the less that remains for the faithful to draw on in the future. Also, some devils pose as gods, granting abilities to mortal in return for obedience and eventual inductions into the ranks of Hell. ------ In yet another campaign (Legends of the Vaatii), the gods are ascended mortals who have moved on to other planes. The clerics of these deities tap into secret rituals these beings discovered and passed down to the faithful. There are 7 Vaatii who represent the non-evil alignments (and Lawful Evil), and two opposing powers that foster evil. [/QUOTE]
