Maanzecorian always fascinated me, as a knowledge- and philosphy-loving deity of a very evil race. He always felt like the perfect patron of Estriss, the illithid in the Cloakmaster Spelljammer novel series. I was disappointed when he was unceremoniously slain in the Dead Gods adventure, so I took this opportunity to create the potential of a revival (or, for those who wish it, another deity to masquerade as him).

Anthraxus the Decayed
August 1, 2024Another near-power, and one of the famous old-school lower planar entities, Anthraxus is one of the few Yugoloths with a cult. He was once the Oinoloth and strives to become so again, and uses his cult not to propel him to godhood but simply to advance his many agendas. Read the rest of this entry »

Sunnis the Princess of Good Earth
July 1, 2024The last of the good archomentals, Sunnis, is the closest thing to a leader the group has. She advocates for a united front against the evil archomentals, but has not yet had much success, especially with the obstinacy of Ben-hadar. To he followers, she is a motherly figure who embodies steadfastness and support.
I want to thank everyone for their support these past few months. I really appreciate it! Read the rest of this entry »

No Deity Again This Month
June 1, 2024Hey folks, I’m really sorry to say that I haven’t been able to complete a deity again this month. I’ve been suffering from depression these last few months and have not been able to be as productive on writing as I would like. I’ll have it ready for next month, however!

Ilsensine, the Great Brain
May 1, 2024The terrible and powerful patron of the illithids is Ilsensine, the Great Brain. A deity of pure mental energy, it exhorts its followers to take their rightful place of domination over all other races of the multiverse. There’s been a lot written about illithids over the years, so this one took a lot of research and I’m pretty sure I still missed a lot of potentially relevant material, but it was still a lot of fun to write!

No Deity This Month
April 1, 2024Hey folks, unfortunately I was unable to get a deity done this month. Strangely enough, it’s hard to write when all you can do is itch after breaking out in hives from new detergent! I’ll definitely have one ready to go next month, however. Apologies!

Zinzerena the Hunted
March 1, 2024A recent addition to the drow pantheon, Zinzerena is an outsider even among that chaotic and fractured group of powers. Once a figure in heroic legends, she managed to ascend through trickery, and has been avoiding other members of the pantheon and causing chaos among drow cities ever since. I emphasized her more neutral aspects, which I think would be coming to the fore with her recent loss of power to Lolth. Read the rest of this entry »

Ben-hadar, the Prince of Good Water
February 1, 2024The third of the good archomentals is Ben-hadar, an arrogant and provincial ruler who many believe pushes the boundaries of what is considered good. While he does care for the well-being of his followers, he has little interest in what happens beyond the borders of the Plane of Water. Read the rest of this entry »

The Dark God at the End of All Things
January 1, 2024The cold of winter brings the enigmatic and imprisoned god of eternal darkness and decay, known simply as the Dark God. Said to have been imprisoned long ago in order to preserve all of creation, mythology also presents it as a being that will preside over the destruction of all things when he is eventually released.
As a bonus, while working on this entry, I thought of a perfect anagram that I slipped into the entry. :)
