Excellent. I thought I was putting the finishing touches on what we needed to get started and then I sort of had an idea explosion that lead to a bit of re writing. I will definitely be ready to go Friday.

Good with me.

Always wait for the cake to be done before eating it, I say.

I will make the opening post this afternoon, do I need to start a separate thread for it and leave this one for ooc posts?

I am ready anytime, I just need Drohem's character sheet and I can post the IC thread and get started. Any word on getting mod approval for your post? Well I guess we didn't exactly get started today, but I am ready whenever, y'all still interested?

Ready to go, and I can see Drohem's character info just fine on Page 2 now.

good to go. same thread or different, either way.

I suggest a separate thread.

Thread is up and running gentlemen.

As a Lawful Cleric in your world, what deity would he worship and/or what church would he belong to?

Do you have this type of information already in mind for your game, or should I just make it up as I go along?

I have general idea about the gods and what they are like. I can come up with some more specifics if you like. I would also be ok with you making up something, I could provide some more details about the nature of the gods if you like.

Sure, lay it on me.

Essentially what I was thinking so far is that in the beginning there was a group of primordial beings that existed for untold ages. Eventually they warred amongst themselves, destroying the universe as they had made it. The aftermath of the melee was a sort of storm whose violence reshaped their physical remains into the unformed earth. The gods are the remnants of these primordial beings thoughts which were drawn to the remnants of their dying breaths. They then found their way to the earth, and began to shape it according to their individual tastes and personalities. When they acted in the world they became tied up in it and to a degree a part of it. They also created the sentient races to suit their tastes, fashioning bodies for them which drew smaller portions of the breaths of the dead primordials, thus giving them life.

Some of the gods are more powerful than others, with the weakest being no more than powerful local spirits. They are a mixed bag personality wise, ranging from benevolent to aloof. Essentially their personality reflects the original thought that animated them, so for instance one could reflect the infinite range of thoughts and feelings that the primordials may have felt in their final battle. One could for instance be a reflection of, say a final act of mercy or compassion or of a feeling if resignation.

The gods tend to be fairly consistent in their behavior at least. Other spirits are more chaotic and wander the stars doing who knows what, these I term outsiders. Some are down right evil and dwell in the great caverns below the earth, demons essentially though.

The gods don't tend to manifest themselves physically very often, preferring to act through their priesthoods. I am picturing that this may have once been different and a great cataclysm changed it.

Anyway, I guess I just sort of have you the whole cosmology in a nut shell. I don't know if that helps but I would be very interested in anything you come up with. If you do come up with something I would love to keep it as canon in the campaign world as I plan on using this one for a long time, if that would be okay.  

Of course if you don't want to come up with something I perfectly understand and would be happy to do it.

Anything I come up with will be just a re-hash of the Greek primordial beings so I would rather go with your own creation.

I just thought of a hook for Donovan:  Father Blind John has become terribly concerned with the safety of the town of Last Keep and the peoples dependent upon it, and so he wrote a letter to an old friend in the Church hierarchy explaining his concerns and the troubles of late.  Donovan has been sent by Blind John's friend, with the full Church sanction, to aid however he can.

What do you think?

Sounds great! I will post a god and the basic outline of his church here in the next hour or so.
