    Gods and Deities interference in your world

    Hello, I am having kind of hard time trying to make it Paramount in my fantasy world that there are gods and deities but they are not interfering in lives of mortals. There are races that don’t even believe in gods so that might be easier, but how would people that believe in their god still...

    Tales of Orgonia: Chapter 6 - The Nabe

    The Town was an augmented version of the Fallows, a lank feeling of desperation hung on every corner. Rowan consulted his map and cross referenced it with his location in relation to his journey thus far and if his bearings served him correctly then he was stood, more or less, where the words...

    Tales of Orgonia: Chapter 5 - Silence

    Rowan woke to blackout and silence. “PA! Pa are you there?” Rowan cried in confusion as he tossed around on the bed “Ornella? Ornella, i’m sorry!’ Over the next few moments Rowan recalled the events of the past, fragments of days, in his head. In a state of panic, Rowan thought for a split...

    Tales of Orgonia: Chapter 4 - Beckon

    Rowan’s ears embraced the words as a cherry blossom does the spring. With curling toes and hairs on end Rowan could hear his home calling to him, to rescue, to repair and to complete him once again. ‘Rowan-Rowan?’ a gust of words fleeted by in the key of G major. The man slung his bag onto his...

    Tales of Orgonia: Chapter 3 - Whisper

    Stunned, Rowan lay frozen too petrified to open his eyes. The strangers warm breath teased the inside of Rowans ear. Without moving a single other muscle in his body Rowan steadily prised open his left eyelids and rolled his gaze towards the direction of the thing that had him anchored. Dusk...

    Tales of Orgonia: Chapter 2 - The Fens

    Wilfred followed the direction of his sons startled eyes towards a piece of folded parchment leaning awkwardly between the dusty floor and the timber wall. Rowan darted at the floor like a Gannet to retrieve the parchment. He then moved into the centre of the room and took a deep breath before...

    Tales of Orgonia: Chapter 1 - The Fallows

    Rowan’s hands were beginning to numb as he hung, in a state of nature, from the base of the moon by his ankles. His ear was wet and his feet on fire, both of which were distracting him from the seven sets of unfaltering eyes he could discern closing in on him from the abyss. Dread and defeat...

    Tales of Orgonia

    The Silurian hypotheses explores the possibility of an advance human civilisation existing on earth some several million years ago, long before the one we try so hard to navigate our way through today. Tales of Orgonia however, narrates of an age even further back then that, where the unbroken...

    Pantheons

    If you were creating a pantheon of gods, what two or three aspects/gods do you think should DEFINITELY make the cut? You could think of it as... who are your oldest gods/aspects? I know some real and fictional cultures have dichotomies like life/death, fire/water, light/dark, air/earth/sea...

    Ideas on designing an eastern pantheon (Ainu/Japanese/Chinese inspired)?

    I'm inspired by eastern cultures and am keen to have a quartet of deities implemented in my worldbuilding (myths and tales will come soon when the time comes). As I wanted the deities to be as relatable as possible, I have chosen each one of them to represent a basic necessity of life that is...

    Below is the core premise and pitch of a mythic fantasy tabletop roleplaying setting I’m developing which I'd like some general feedback on.

    Worshipping a dead god

    Hello. It's been a long, long time since I posted here. But I have returned, older and (supposedly) wiser. But we can catch up later, for now I posit a question. What does a religion look like when you worship a dead god? I'm not talking about a god that's fallen out of mainstream favor, like...

    A new idea brings new world build potential! An idea for magic

    Hi! One of my preferred pass times is to world build a bit! I ended up writing a short piece of fiction that I hope to share with y’all soon that I never meant to be anything special, however I’ve been thinking about it and it’s been expanding a bit. Recently I thought of how magic might work in...

    Gods as head of state. (1/?)

    Salves comes, this is my first post and I'm sure only the beginning. I am currently in the midst of worldbuilding a setting that I intend to use in my future creative projects, based around one idea: What if the Gods of a setting, instead of being shunted off into their own little planes of...

From the Void came the Mother, the Earth Goddess, and her husband Invictus the First. They bore Thirteen Old God children, and all was well. However, the eldest, Dominus, grew weary...
