Welcome back to the Egaan Pantheon. It’s certainly been a while! In these posts I delve into the details of my various gods. I attempt to provide background, descriptions and interesting tidbits to hopefully give you a better insight into the World of Egaar.

This project came about when I presented a document I referred to as my Godmaker Manuscript. I have been using this over the last year few years to revamp the pantheon of my world – Egaar. It’s been a while since I fully completed one of these templates for my gods but the other two I have published may be found here and here. The inspiration for completing this one came from not only a player in one of my campaigns who plays a cleric of Thingol, but also a student I teach, who plays in another one of my campaigns and is himself, an incredible artist. It’s amazing where inspiration and motivation comes from!

Below I present another one of these gods; Thingol, God of Earth, Ore and Stone.

The Godmaker Manuscript: Creating your Creators

On By Wittering of a worldbuilderIn Gods, Worldbuilding4 Comments

Do you struggle to create the origins of your cosmos? Is your world devoid of divinity? Lacking a creator? If so, this may well be of use to you.

So I’ve been working on rebuilding the pantheon of gods for my world and decided to share my process with you guys. After loads of research into various pantheons from history as well fictional pantheons from popular media, I created the following guide for creating gods.

It is by no means comprehensive, but I feel it gives a good structure to help flesh out various elements of each god, which will aid in your worldbuilding and creative writing process. I have found this to be invaluable when creating various religious denominations around my main pantheon, as well as serving as a useful reference document during my writing process.
