[Urbis] Deities

[Jürgen Hubert]

Perhaps you could combine them? Fire and animals aren't usually best friends so if you could try to create a deity for both that might be interesting.

An interesting take on a god of animals might be one that looks at animals from the perspective of humans. Deities of animals are often either tree-hugging types or themselves half-animal. Yours might be more like "look people, we have a world with animals, thus...".

Combining the above, a god of animals and fire that looks at things from the human perspective might be a god of fear. Fear from nature, more precisely: animals and fire are two fine examples of the dreadful and deadly things one can find in nature.

An interesting idea, but I already have a "God of Fear", and I want to avoid redundancy.

Perhaps a deity that's about taming nature? After all, to become civilized, mankind has mastered both animals and fire...

Added my version of Bucatar and, while I was at it, another god by the name of Palias. Hope you like them!

Very good!!! I like the druid conflict.

Very good!!! I like the druid conflict.

Part of my ambiguity schtick. I mean, from one perspective druids can be seen as being nothing more than a bunch of ecoterrorists, so I came up with another religion that feels compelled to oppose them without obviously being the bad guys.

With Urbis, I didn't want people to be able to simply say: "Humans can live in harmony with nature!" In this setting, nature and human civilization are in a clear conflict with each other, one which nature is currently losing. Of course, if Urbis continues to follow our civilization in the future, then human civilization will eventually lose, too...

There might be a working solution to this conflict, but it's not going to be an easy one that simply involves doing everything one side wants. After all, by now the teeming masses of humanity need magically supported agriculture to survive, so simply "going back to nature" is not possible any more.
