[quote=@Crispy Octopus] [@Cyclone] Mmm. To an extent I also think a forest God doesn't *need* a sphere in direct contact with the world. After all when the rp starts there *will be no forests* so if a God later evolves into a forest or nature God but still has their sphere in the celestial realm or the underworld that makes sense. These are God's and their spheres are their private abodes, if they choose to focus on Galbar rather than their spheres and become gods with a deep connection to the physical world I imagine they might develop a [b]magical [/b] connection with Galbar. So maybe in a deep forest a portal to the forest gods sphere is formed or something. There's no need for God's to be directly linked to Galbar after all. If... That makes sense. [/quote] It's what I'd originally envisioned, although some will probably feel frustrated if they have to make their god start as something significantly different from what they [i]actually[/i] want to do. But for the sake of consistency this approach makes sense. I'm having a hard time making a decisive decision here because no matter what choice is made, I'm sure somebody will be unhappy. There's basically three options that I see: A) Allow some gods to have "middle" spheres that are much more accessible, B) Stick to our guns on Spheres being hard for mortals to access. Wannabe Forest God has to pick either a Celestial of a Chthonian Sphere and do something with it C) Fudge the categories a bit and have 'upper Chthonian gods' and 'lower Celestial gods' as Capy suggested a bit farther up. Option A seems like a slippery slope.
