    The True Neutral God also known as Neutral/Neutral. He is perfection. He... Is... EVERYTHING!

    A true Neutral god would be interesting to see

    God of dead would actually make sense, because that is quite standard in many folklore. Someone needs to take care of dead people's souls/spirits in the underworld.
    Do you need a ride to the Underworld?

    I would love to see true neutral god. I would say it does not need to be only for those who do not care, it can be also about balance and freedom of choise to do what ever you want.

    I hope he does not just dump his preference on this exclusively, if the whole world is sunshine and rainbows, especially a fantasy world with multiple gods and races then it feels like a self-serving fantasy.

    It would be funny if a divine node has a twist.... you can build one huge altar for one god and lesser ones for the others...or option 2... hail to a new god... creating a new faith, a new god... It would be funny... declare @Nagash to be the god of death, raising him up to the plane of GMs and the holy Sandal Order of Steven 🤪

    Side effect! Any other of the standard gods will be enraged and try to destroy the whole city... so many npc and monster will attack the city! Defend th3 city and the altar for long enough to complete the rite and let the new god raise up, equal to the others, stopping the attacks


    Just a funny idea

    Agreed. It is important to have different kind of gods and religions from evil to good and everything between those two extremes. It is not actually so black and white either and you can be good and evil different ways. You can be good towards other people or for nature for example.

    Because demons will be a thing, it would make sense to have a demonic god who wants chaos and destruction. We could consider that as a pure evil. It is also easy to build lore around this and create demonology based factions/cults around the theme.

    If we want different kind of evilness, there could be god who favors greed, missery and despair. This can be option e.g. for criminals who likes to steal, cheat, betray or collect wealth in suspisious ways.

    Uff Id like to see a twist like that.

    But as for the main question what kind of god I want to see, of course a god connected to crafting, id imagine something like Ornn from League of Legends or some kind of luck god from japanese mythology like Daikoku.

    Just a chubby boy that helps me win over the crafting world.

    I was sortta teasing when I said the last part. But I do agree that a Freewill god could be interesting.

    Maybe a god of Redemption. You know, For Long time corrupted players who want to change their ways. But the penalty for gaining too much corruption again while following this god could be something drastic and the god will forsake you or smite you!

    I would love to see a God of Time

    Most games don't have this aspect, but I do love Gods that lie outside of the standard elements etc.

    I would like a god of chaos. One that encourages others to break traditions, embodies entropy, and results in worshipers slowly going insane (as the augment progress).
