Names subject to change.

Bjan is not subject to change, that name is awesome

It's pronounced Bee-yan
It's filled with daemons that eternally prey on the dead souls fear.

An Andean religion, for example, wouldn't use a polar bear to represent one of their gods. I think we should wait for the location to be decided to do animals as well.

Exactly. That's why I put up this poll so early.

With the way this is going, we get to use them nice tropical birds for this faith.

Basically the side at one time was unified under *insert ambitious but morally ambiguous ruler here* till they either left or what not causing a massive schism between the followers.

I like it!

That seems a little silly. It's fine for deity RPs in PT2M because it makes things fair, but this isn't an RP, so we should avoid doing that. I think there should be more than one or two kinds of afterlife though, everyone either going to a single place or to Heaven/Hell has been done.

Speaking of which...does every deity have their specific realm or some kind of generalized hall of deities thing going on?

I think hall would be easier to handle.

Maybe some do, and some don't. We shouldn't standardize these sorts of things.

We still need to determine the continent this takes place on.

The poll results are interesting. I'm not surprised that Europe is a popular choice, but the fact that a Polynesian island is in second place is unexpected.

I say we create a new world. There are some great tutorials out there for generating random maps through Photoshop.

We're not doing names until we decided on a region.

Animal (if applicable): Wolf
Symbol: Wolf with Moon and Snowflake (Somewhat like Inuit design and somewhat like Ancient Chinese design.)

1. No names as of yet because we haven't determined a region.
2. The OP recommended that you don't have a seasonal God.
3. Someone already has a snowflake I believe.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, I'm just trying to help.

Well, I have no real problem with it now.
Now all we need is the OP to allow it.
Or I could give it me Non-OP stamp of approval.

My idea is a sort of titan-esque, elder god of disease, who rules a plethora of malignant spirits (dubbed "maladies") from atop an unseen throne in some nearby dimension. The maladies, as you probably guessed, are responsible for disease; when idle, they feast on the strength of the weak and old.

[Name] is neither good nor evil, however he is nonetheless essential to the eternal struggle; for a price, he will order his strongest children (the plagues) to descend upon whichever city the buyer chooses.

Disease is good, that's a universal thing.
