[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 9322044, member: 6787503"] I use whatever gods the players choose for their characters to believe in, especially those playing clerics, and let things develop organically from there. In a somewhat recent game, there was a paladin of the temple of Pelor, a cleric of Tiamat, a warlock who had made a pact with Glasya, the daughter of Asmodeus, and a shadow sorcerer who had derived her powers from some kind of interaction with Mask, so ostensibly all those divinities were considered to exist from the outset. Over time, a duality in the pantheon emerged between light and shadow, represented by Pelor and Mask respectively. There were some revelations about the history of the setting in which Pelor became associated with the heroic, possibly deified, golden-haired brother of an ancient queen. And the sorcerer came under the tutelage of Mask whom she sought out for training and who directed her against the Church of Cyric growing among the city's nobility. Another being I considered to be a divinity was a rakshasa named Lord Yundur whom the party encountered in a dungeon deep beneath the city upon which the setting was centered. [/QUOTE]
