Hello guys, I am a little stuck on the religion aspect of my world, and I would like to pick your brain on it. Currently I'm having slight trouble with dividing my pantheon into "Light", "Neutral" and "Dark"
I am basing my pantheon of nine gods with them representing aspects of human/mortal evolution. The physical manifestations of the "physical" aspects like sun, moon, stars etc are taken by the older generation of gods that the world no longer worships.
Here is a rough breakdown of the three categories.
Light
God of Order, Law, Justice, and Rulership
God of Faith, Mercy, and Agriculture
God of Music and Dreams. Trickster God of Secrets
Neutrality
Goddess of Love, Sex and War
God of Magic, Knowledge, Healing, and Wisdom
Goddess of Luck, Fortune and Fate
Dark
Goddess of Chaos, Anarchy. and Retribution
God of Wealth, Commerce, Crafts and Smithing
God of Strength, Conquest Hunting and the Wilds
What I am trying to convey is that Light does not mean good, and Dark does not mean evil. Does this arrangement and their domain make sense? Or if Light and Dark seems too good and evil, perhaps changing the "category" to Order and Chaos would be better?
Is there any mortal aspects that I have missed out?
