Pantheon and Cosmology Changes Dream Thread

[Gotham]

The DM's have this all planned out, i'm sure. We can most likely expect the return of the Netherese dieties over the modern ones.

Here is a thread however, where we post our dream pantheon changes

Helm absorbs the essence of Torm and Red Knight and joins the Triad, remains being awesome

Tyr absorbs the essence of Lathander Siamorphe and becomes Amauntyr, god of law, life, and civilization

Ilmater absorbs the essences of Eldath and remains being awesome

Cyric dies because he is a stupid god and fuck those books

Shar absorbs the essences of Cyric, condensing the gods of insane evil and nihilism into one deity.

Selune absorbs the essences of Sune and the Angharradh (Aerdrie, Sehahnine,  Hanali) and becomes the goddess of Beauty and Love in addition to her other aspects. She also becomes one of the new primary dieties of the Elves

Shevarash absorbs the essences of Fenmarel, Corellon, Solonor, Erevan, and Labelas, becoming the new primary patron of the Elven people and ruler of the Feywilds. He takes mastery of the Seelie

Lolth absorbs all of her children and becomes Shevarash's consort. The rift between the Elves and the Drow are closed by the near extinction of their race, and the elves embrace their new destiny as both very chaotic good and very chaotic evil, becoming more fey-like than ever. She takes mastery of the Unseelie.

Silvanus absorbs Windstrom, Ubtao, Nobanion and all the other male nature related dieties but Chauntea.

Chauntea absorbs the essences of Lurue, Rillifane, Shialla, Mielikki, and all the other female nature goddesses. She resumes being Jannath, and becomes Silvanus' Consort.

Umberlee absorbs the essences of the other gods of water and storm

Tempos absorbs Garagos, Valkur, and Talos and returns to being Targus

Tyche is already back so, kudos

Halfling Pantheon boils down to Yondalla

Dwarven Pantheon is unaffected because fuck yeah dwarves

No one cares about the Mulhourandi

[Vlaid]

Lloth should most likely perish if she hasn't already. She has no followers left (or does she???)

I would like to see Targus absorb the Red Knight so that Tempus and Garagos can wage another cosmic battle on even footing.

Helm absorbing Torm might be cool, b ut I am partial to the ever vigilant, ever-stick-to-the-law side of Helm, so I'm not sure absorbing Torm would be too cool to me.

On the other hand, it might be cool if Dendar has absorbed the deific essence of all these gods and has become a new, uber, over-god of the pantheon that could rival Ao in power.

[Weaverific]

I like the distinct differences of Torm and Helm.  Lathander into Tyr?  No way DAD!  I am a hippie god and you are just too old to get my music!

I am in full agreement on axing Cyric.  I think he is one of the stupidest gods in FR history, every other evil or crazy god is more interesting than him.

Sadly all of your musing, while interesting is for naught, the One God is coming!

[VengefulSeraphim]

Halfling pantheon is wiped out save for Yondalla. Yondalla, realizing her race is on the verge of extinction, reveals her darker side and true self as Dallah Thaun, essentially declaring that everything is permissible if it is done in the name of the halfling race's survival.

Cyric dies. No, he doesn't die, because he never actually was a god to begin with - someone, a certain someone, was masquerading in his stead. Leira revealed as master rusewoman. Her and Mask reconcile and then proceed to make out pretty hard.

Kezef the Chaos Hound takes a bite out of crime and devours Mask, bringing an end to this lovy-dovy shit.

Selune's power wanes as most of her would-be worshippers flee from the surface.

Illithids make overtures of alliance with certain parts of druegar society, leading to the worship of Deep Duerra and an interest in psionics. She betrays Laduguer and druegar society is plunged into civil war as a result.

Lolth returns to the Seldarine as Araushnee, marrying Shevarash in what is sort of a political marriage. Although the fiercest enemy of the drow, he knows he cannot turn away allies in these trying times. This gets him labeled as a hypocrite in addition to being a coward, and only a few elves keep to the worship of their own gods.

Garagos gets his revenge on Tempus by claiming to help him fight Dendar and then leaving him there to die alone. He becomes Targus once more, though remains a depraved shadow of his former self.

I thought that their divine sparks were devoured by Dendar? Thus not even allowing their netherese forms to arise unless done through extremist rituals.

[Xylitol]

Lolth absorbs all of her children and becomes Shevarash's consort.

Haha. I would love to see the insanity that would lead to this.

Or, the divorce/bloodbath that swiftly follows.

[Balop]

What of Garl Glittergold and friends?

[Deception]

Ilsensine, god of the Illithids replaces Ao.

[granny]

What of Garl Glittergold and friends?

they would finally find their consorts, the Sisters of the Golden Hills, who return from a long travel to the higher planes with all sorts of mega-super-hiper-secret weapons to defeat Dendar.

they breed like rabbits and soon the power of the Lords and Sisters of the Golden Hills become unstoppable. For this, they put the other deities into subservience and rule as the most powerful race. that, as it should be

[Knight Of Pentacles]

Lol, okay.

The dwarven gods all perish except for Gorm who is brought from the brink of his imminent death by a new influx of worshippers in order defend the dwarves against their enemies one last time.

The orcs lose contact with their deities and begin to worship the Red Star as a new incarnation of the One-Eyed God.

The gnome deities all perish and the gnomes begin to distance themselves from theism.  

Drow gods all perish, Ghaunadaur fades into obscurity.

Set and Sebek are revealed to be servants of Dendar the Night Serpent.  

Several powerful devils and demons begin to take on worshippers and grant them spells in place of the now unresponsive gods.

[Aethereal]

Mystryl convinces Cyric to commit suicide just because she can and absorbs his portfolio, turning magic to madness and madness to magic - all the world rejoices in a mad hatter's paradise where non-mages are enslaved by their insane superiors. The Illithid Empire scratches its head.

[Yalta]

Although somewhat comic a number of these would have IG merit.

I know we are not Canon but presuming the worship = power thing is still relevant something would have to happen to Lloth, perhaps eaten by Ghaunadaur, and all Drow are now slime-drow?

[Weaverific]

We have no way of knowing if meaningful drow populations remain.  Some parts of the underdark are truly isolated from the rest of the world.

[xXCrystal_Rose]

I just want to see Bahamut get axed like Tiamat did, or Tiamat pull some trick like she did in the past by splitting her essence into different dragons when she died so that she could be reborn again.
