What type of gods do you want to see in ashes?

As we know, there are going to be ten gods in ashes, and of the ten only seven of them, we can worship. My question to you all is what type of gods do you want to see and what powers/domains would they have?

Probably not a move to bring the game the right kind of attention.

There needs to be a Hephaestus-ish God of Artisans, if there isn't one already.

I just care that they match the world well. It would be nice if you could also see them in some way. I don't particularly care about the gods that you cannot see.

Diversity is important for this kind of thing and pretty much every game goes for a buddhist base for these systems.

Here are 5 general ideas for religions and maybe and some generic description on how they could translate into gameplay. I'd be happy to think of more (it's fun) but we just got new flooring to lay down and the wife could use a hand. Also, I wouldn't expect AoC to actually use these literal names, just trying to plant general ideas.

Nature/Life (Mother Earth, metaphorically): Source of all forms of life on the planet. Followers are better able to foster and utilize plants and wildlife.

Order (Themis, metaphorically): Conserve traditions, acts as a counterbalance to agitation. Followers have a firm grasp of traditional technologies (maybe more effective at traditional weaponry, more industrious and efficient when crafting traditional items, more effective when defending a node).

Collective (Queen Bee, metaphorically): Acts as a singular entity, with all followers thought of as “a people”. Uncommon ability to draw strength by coordinating as a group (bonus tax contribution, greater buffing and healing abilities of other followers).

Individualism (idk...) Cherishes individual achievement of its members. This group owes its strength to being the summation of individually strong members (has an edge in becoming proficient at their chose craft, maybe can have a broader or deeper proficiency cap, boost to dmg dealing abilities as possible examples)

Adventure/Explorer (Dragon-slayer, metaphorically?): A yearning to go into the unknown and an uncanny ability to explore, and react to surprises (stealth detection, slight edge in seeing boss mechanics, takes less damage in the first second of being attacked).

you do remember when I fought the ENTIRE Skaven under empire to a standstill and still had time to make the black pyramid

Oh, you mean the one my children tunneled into and blew UP.......that Black Pyramid?

Maybe if you had given your full attention to the battle you might have won. Luckily for you however I was not directly involved in your war with the Under Empire else it would have not been a draw.

I want a god like Sheogorath from Elder Scrolls. Totally insane god of chaos. He tasks you with killing a monster with a dinner fork or tricking people into thinking the apocalypse is happening.

Yeah, those are the best.

For example, WoW characters are almost always extremely boring, but Bowmsandi, their version of a trickster god is by far the most entertaining one.

Even if there are no questlines or that stuff, this "grey zone" could be represented by a buff: a very strong one but with a crippling downside.That and a few tales about that god would do the trick.

I hope we can worship the old gods, the 3 who gave knowledge to the ancients. A mechanics were evil gods could be worship in secret for instance would be even greater

so much more RP to be had this way.
But then we would need to be able to burn people or cast them away for a period of time... complicated...
but fuuuunnnn

The following gods: law, justice, karma and perversity. not perversion, perversity. Two different things. The god of perversity would be the one that foobars things, gremlins in the making of caravans..so that the the wheel breaks at the worse possible time. You know the one that causes you to mash your thumb instead of the nail while hammering.

Behague

Hoping to see an Elvish/Pyrian God of Elite Snobbery.

Anything even remotely like Dibella from The Elder Scrolls: the goddess of beauty and pleasure.

Any word yet on a possible champion/apostle of said gods being attainable? Like top tier player of class/religion that is devoted to said God getting a special buff? IE nagash top necromancer following the god of death
