No, it's lore.
But I could do with some feedback.

El, can you make Deities? I wanna make a God on the side of good.

There are like five main deities already, I thought.
Mauro, Gandolo, Cierin, Vidia, and Gora.
I've kinda decided that at least in Felurin, Vidia, who judges souls after death, is kind of a dark goddess but who is also relatively good.

Well no spoilers, I've only just finished Gardens of the Moon. Each book is just so packed with lore though that you feel like an expert after just one, and I am frightened by how much more there is.
Edit: You should do some RPing with Videssos, unless you are Videssos. I remember him being quite the fan and he is a great writer.
Never heard of Videssos. This is my first foray into P2tM.

Well he suggested the series to me a couple of years ago, though he doesn't know it.
I don't know what he's been doing lately but he ran a Fantasy RP with enough Malazan canon in it that it was practically an alternate universe fandom.Liecthenbourg wrote:No, it's lore.

Orcs would be something those societies would ICly know about, and so those borders would be quite fortified. Because nobody would go "Oh, there are Orcs out there who often raid our villages, but I'm going to forget about that and not do anything to stop it." The Orcs aren't organized, no, but to villagers, they are terrifying, likely. Even autocratic rulers tend to have to do something if their citizens are up in arms about being attacked.
Something I've always wondered though... what do Orcs do when they're not launching raids on people? What is the rest of Orc society like?
Also, evil has Mad Dog. I think. Wait, is he even on a side other than the "being batshit crazy" side?
Somebody else who's read The Wheel of Time...

Commonly referred to as: The Forge-Master, He Who Crafts, The Great Smith, The Master of the Ever Forges, The World Shaper.
Deity of: Golems, Miners, Mountains, Smiths, Smithies and Forging.
Personality: Arrogant, prone to anger but generally quite friendly.
Lore: Metallos is credited as being the God who forged the Earth in all her glory, in his great and all powerful Ever Forge. He created vast mountains of rock, filled with mighty gems and valuable resources once Mauro had given life to the shell that was the original world. After this, Metallos saw it fitting to create his own peoples for a world that he created; so he created the Golems, vaguely in his image to inhabit his mountains and be their keepers.
I can expand upon this, well, aim to.
How does everyone like this idea?

Cool idea.
I mean, my people aren't going to believe he created the world, but it's still cool.

Counter point, you won't have your assassins marching in the open field either. You won't be subject to dozens dying in enemy cavalry charges, and barrages of holy spells.
They also will be unlikely to stay in groups for long. As well as being spread out here and there and everywhere.

I see.
EDIT: I just wanted a minor Deity. Y'Know, kinda like that guy you pray to whenever your drunk.

I don't think Elerian would have too much of a problem with various minor deities. I've mentioned that in addition to the five main gods, some of my people still pray to Elder Gods and such.

Sounds cool.
You should read more of Malazan. But then, my opinion is biased, as it is by far my favorite fantasy series. Once you're done with the ten books of the Malazan Book of the Fallen, as well as Ian Esslemont's Novels of the Malazan Empire that fit between some of them, you should read Forge of Darkness the start of the Kharkanas Trilogy, which is all about the Tiste Andii.

Nope. I don't have a problem with minor deities. We still could use an evil one however.
