So work has eaten up most of my day so I'll quickly leave the basics of my god ideas here since it seems people are waiting on them for now. [b]Yorvengaand[/b] (sometimes shortened to Yorven) [i]The blade by the hearth.[/i] Yorven is a warrior and sun god, often depicted as a strong male figure in glorious gleaming armour, often coloured like gold or brass, with fire burning from under his helmet. The only element of darkness about him is a black cape he wears that is said to be made of smoke. Yorvengaand is considered a "Bright God". A more benevolent counterpart of the "Red Gods". His followers often regard worshippers of the Gore Lord as rivals if not outright enemies as Yorven values honour and skill in combat over bloodshed. As a result his followers will try to follow his tenants and ethics to win his favour. [i]"Remember this, you are a shield before you are a sword. A man is only as great as what he fights for."[/i] - A Yorvengaand worshiper to the warriors under his training. Within his tales Yorvengaand is always looking to slay a cruel monster or rushing to the aid of those in need. He vaules life and is thought of a defender of the weak, showing his blessings to those in dire need or fighting in defense of others. If his devoutees wish to pray to Yorven they must write out their prayer on a piece of parchment or wood and burn it, allowing the smoke to find him. Otherwise they must call on his name in the heat of battle or he may not hear them. He is the fire of battle. The fire in each warrior's heart. He is the fire of home each should seek to return to and lay their sword down. ______________________________________________________________ [b]Kaviken[/b] [i]The fox who runs wild.[/i] A trickster spirit, often depicted as a fox with white or ice blue fur with red eyes. He is often shown wearing the skull of a wolf or larger fox as a mask. Kaviken's mind is unknowable to the sane man. He is neither good, nor evil but wild. His moods may swing him towards acting kindly and aiding travelers one day and send him on a savage hunt another. The one thing he can be relied upon to do is keep his more threatening tricks aimed at adults. Kaviken is the patron spirit of children, being one himself among the other gods, and will always act kindly to the very young. Children will leave milk out for him at night in the hope the trickster will share his treats with them. Pregnant women will leave offerings out that the fox will bless their unborn babe and their house. Whether Kaviken actually answers these prayers is unknown though most shrug him off as a bed time story. The only thing close to proof of him are stories from the deep forests of the isles where it is said those who have committed acts of violence against children have been found dead, their flesh savaged and looks of horror on their faces! [i]"The fox! The fox hunts me still! The eyes, the fangs! Every night he hunts me!"[/i] - Bergold the witch. Suspected killer of two women, five men and seven children. Took her own life in a fit of madness before the jarl's judgement could be served. If you worship the fox do not hunt his kind on your lands, it invites bad luck. __________________________________________________________________________________ [b]Zasha.[/b] [i]The maiden of the fields.[/i] All lands know at least one goddess of fertility and Zasha is one of the most prolific in The Broken Lands. She is thought to appear as a woman of other worldly beauty, always appearing in the distance, often obscured by summer rains. One thing all these wittnesses claim, she wears a flowing gown of white and sports a crown of curled horns. Whether it's an actual crown or something sprouting from her head is unclear. Many of the male gods have tried to win her favour and take her for their wife but all have failed so far. [i]"See you put a bit of everything you want her blessing in a stone circle... and then you do a little dance, like this see. No you don't sacrifice it! No blood, she hates that!"[/i] - A drunk druid of Zasha. _____________________________________________________________________________________ There's three to start off with! If anyone wants to add more stuff to them like holy sights or rituals I haven't thought of much for that. Pondering the idea of giving Yorven an ice god sibling and making a forge god but this was all I have time for right now.
