Havard, cat got your tongue? :wink: wondering what you think. I'm thinking of making an attempt at matching up some of the EPT gods next but wanted to see if you thought any of these should be switched around or whatever first.

Sorry it took me a while!

Looks like a good list. I would probably leave the Peshwah, Elf, Dwarf and Dragon deities out of this setup. I consider the Holy Thonian Church to be the continuation of the Church of the Facts of Life.

Also, IMC I identify Id with Thanatos.

Uzukul as a deity is a cool addition!

The Pathmeer/Hersh connections comes from the fact that they are both patrons of Thieves (Dwarves and Human) and both neutral. Pathmeer is for some strange reason listed as LN, which is fairly odd for a patron of Rogues. I am a little reluctant to list Hersh among the Dark Lords. Although CN, he doesnt seem evil. Volketh seems to take the role as patron of evil thieves and assassins.

Same thing with Elgath: The D20 Sourcebook hints at Elgath as a fairly dark deity, but if you accept the Faunus/Sylvain connection, then I think he needs to be removed from that list.


So this would leave us with:


GREATER GODS (as acknowledged by the Church of the Facts of Life)

Baldin
Fronaus
Henrin
Khoronus
Mwajin
Odir
Pacuun
Pathmeer
Sacwyhne
Temrin (dead)

DARK LORDS

Brr'bb't
Hella
Tyrhm
Thanatos
Uzu Kul
Volketh
Zugzul

How about the statue of Poseidon in the Blackmoor dungeon? Is Poseidon actually a Blackmoorian god or is one of the gods in the list represented as a statue of Poseidon, where Poseidon is just a reference for the players rather than the characters?

Right, and then there is all the Pygmalion stuff. Really all needs to be reworked to mesh with that. Too many projects......

Could the Poseidon statue actually be that of Uzu Kul?
