Call for help - deities

Right. I would need them in painting form, and they can be slightly larger than holy symbols.

I already have paintings for all the other deities, but not for those.

Ok, i will work on those.

Can some be made IC?

Not to completely kill your brain Dalvyn but as a newbie onc eupon a time knowing some of the elven main bodies and a couple of the more popular ones are super helpful.

There are too many characters that reference them.

I don't think Elistrae is a good idea -> drizt wanabee *coughs*, and more seriously it's not a human, nor a major racial deity.

Brar, who is worried about his sleep tmes now that painting are in the process...

I already asked, and they did say lesser known deities can be done.

They didn't say that she was going to be coded, but she is still...there.

Two of the most popular Eilistraeen followers in the Forgotten Realms novels are Liriel Baenre and Qilué of The Seven Sisters.

That's got to count for something, hmm?

What the mud is down? *figets* muttering to himself: Try to think it is up, its up...*gives shifty eyes and a crazy grin*

The signs of withdrawl are kicking in.

[quote=dalvyn]Elven gods - no, that area would focus on human gods and the main racial gods.[/quote]

And well, being known in novels, does not mean they are known in the realms, Ellistrae is almost more secretive than Mask regarding good civilization (her main temple is in Skullport).

Ok, can the statue be made of any material? like glass and wood?

The paintings should be sent to the publication address and done ICly, yes. Note that you do not have to be a bard to submit publications (be they books or paintings).

There are too many characters that reference them.

That's part of what I call roleplay snobbism - players who come and expect people to know everything about those blasted elves (or worse, who expect people NOT to know and who aim at showing how superior they are, by knowing all those things). Plus... people who decide to keep a whole set of islands all of themselves and kill all those who would but only approach the islands, do not deserve to have more than one statue built after their gods! That's my bias.

Now, ICly, it's certainly fine NOT to know about those gods. The contrary would be actually surprising.

Elistrae

Yup, feel free to work on her. She might not be a topmost racial deity, but she would be part of the knowledge that people would spread... "Yes, drow... bad guys... but... rumour has it that some of them are good and follow a good drow deity or something." = rumour of the people, that would incite people to actually help others to learn about Elistrae. In other words, there are reasons for people to be curious and eager to know about her.

Decided to spend time with family rather than fret about missing FK... and look what happens.

Just a footnote to the lucky soul who offered to describe me - the Kelemvor of FK is post the Trial of Cyric and not the human-looking version who first took over the role from my dear pal Cyric.

PM me if you want my description and equip details, though I may not respond until tomorrow (sleep beckons)

Can we do dead gods?

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 12:23 am

It depends which one(s) you want to do. Better post here before starting to work on them.

Lysha · Post by **Lysha** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 12:25 am

I was thinking of doing a broken/defiled one of Leira...

*waits anxiously*
And I can't play right now because I have family dinner in 20 minutes or so...Well, I guess I could play for a little bit.... *shifty eyes*

Gregal · Post by **Gregal** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 12:30 am

Oh Lleira is a awsome goddess...that would be cool if she was in it. I do love how she was killed, and nobody knew what happened to her. I think it should be done, personally knowing the past is beneficial to many players to know what to expect now. Just like Talona wanting the portfolio of rot....MmmmmMMMMm drama amongst the gods...Juicy news.

Dalvyn · Post by **Dalvyn** » Wed Jul 26, 2006 12:37 am

Maybe we can add a section about dead gods later... But that's not the focus currently.
