Perhaps a compromise position would be that races older than a certain age were created with Tauphys' involvement, but newer races (such as the undead and Kobolds) were created without? That more or less keeps the original lore intact while also not beholding everyone to having to go through a...

I think it is sufficient to work for now.

Updated Intei's sheet with a new hero designed with permission from, and assistance by, @GravitysMomentum. ;)

Actually, I said he appeared around the same time as the middle aged deities, not that he's a formal member of that group. But yes, he came in after the primordial gods of this world, so overall that's a fair point. But what's a god of shadows without some secrets as to their origin. ;) Quite...

I was expanding on it, saying that if people are going to do that, they should tell the folks so they know how they react. That... doesn't make sense? It's not like the nationless gods are necessarily NEW, they've been around and had their avatars and heroes, which means they could have (and...

Certainly... which means that it behooves people who go "oh, my people worship your god differently" to outline HOW they are different. That's certainly true... but doesn't necessarily apply to those few gods (like Intei) who don't have a country. There's a reason Intei's avatar is called "The...

How does that even work with active deities? If people hold to a different orthodoxy than the god lays down, the gods have avatars and heroes who can correct it. If the society then refuses, wouldn't they then fall out of favor of the deity?

The bodies of those devout to Intei cannot be raised as undead, rather, if they do return, they return as living shadows. That said, since Intei has no nation, most people don't even realize this, as they still go through their local funeral customs to prevent undeath. ---------------- Aside...

Sure... but you can also bet the God of Magic pays attention when other gods start using the powers of his domain. Don't want them getting TO into it.

Added a hero to my character sheet.

You can probably count The Wanderer among them. He's a goody-two-shoes like that.

Just so long as when you use them you tag us if you're addressing us or akin. It'll get confusing otherwise or missed. ;)

You can probably put Intei in the middle tier of age... that's when he probably first appeared in the world at least...

Given you seem to be going in part with "Philosophy", which is just a subset of "Knowledge", I'm not to adverse to being mentioned. Honestly, a lot of folks are doing stuff that's kinda subsets of "Knowledge" to one degree or another. So expect Intei popping up around y'all. ;)

Sounds close to the old Mesopotamian God Utu.

I think that is distinct enough of a difference given that's Knowledge is only part of Intei's domains. I was mainly going for the more classic "God of magic" with the twist of also being a God of shadows, rather than a God of technology.

God Name: Intei Title: Lord of Shadows, Magic, and Knowledge Gender: Male Alignment: Neutral God Appearance: A cloaked and hooded man of ephemeral shadows bearing a staff of smooth wood with a orb of polished black marble on the top. Those who peer beneath the shadows that conceal his face see...
