[quote=@my Lalia] [@Raxacoricofallapatorius] I allow and encourage people to make stuff up for the gods/culture. (I like world building) Though there are things I should mention. [list] [*] Vivari (the Great Mother) is mentioned in nearly all cultures, though this doesn't mean she is worshipped. So she would be mentioned in Drakken religious writing. But she is painted as a betrayer and unloving mother. (So Drakkens don't like her and they will never worship her) [*] Drakken's have three main gods that are worshipped above the others, Norric is the next popular god. But you are free to make up house gods/Goddesses if you wish. [*] it would be interesting to see the names of the three Gem god/Goddesses changed, but I see a problem with it. [list][*]As Vivari is known as a betrayer and unloving mother to her son's (who later birthed/made the Drakken), there needs to be a reason for her being known as such. [*] in Drakken writing it's said that she gave birth to two females and one male children and listed their elements (and she loved/favoured them more). Mind you it doesn't mention their names. [*] so as soon as the Drakkens found out that the Gems worship Vivari and her other three children, they wouldn't think of worshipping them. [/list][/list] I hoped that helped a bit. But as I said you are free to make up other minor gods and things in the culture of either Gem or Drakken. :) [/quote] Okay, awesome! I love world/culture building :3333 Anyway, since Vivari is universally known I guess it wouldn't make much sense to change anything about how the Drakken perceive her. They know of her in their religion but don't worship her, and probably paint her in a villainous or demonic light (her name could even be a curse word or else used in curses). It's quite clear that Krenta, Sorrak, and Drun are Vivari's children though I'm sure Drakken lore makes them out to be victims of their cruel and hateful mother who treated them unfairly while she favored and spoiled Auram, Naia, and Pyrus. Obviously the Drakken reject all the Gem gods as legitimate but since the Drakken are element-weilders just as the Gems surely they have gods to represent the elements. Here's a few suggestions: [hider=Oraja] [img]http://orig09.deviantart.net/8ce7/f/2010/017/6/0/60fff80e627347862cdc57de33232b87.jpg[/img] [Drakken adaption of Naia and Auram] Oraja is the Drakken goddess of storms and the sea, she represents the power that comes of combining wind and water. Her symbol is a crescent moon. Bad weather and shipwrecks are said to be caused by the sufferer's failure to honor her. Conversely, she is given credit for the spring rains and melting snow that bless the fertile parts of Drakken territory. The majority of her worshippers dwell in the coastal regions of the country. Considered a rejected daughter of Vivari. [/hider] [hider=Vontfex][img]http://pre00.deviantart.net/1afe/th/pre/f/2013/061/2/2/fire_sorcerer_by_jujusaurus-d5wps76.jpg[/img] [Drakken adaption of Pyrus and Auram] Vontfex is the Drakken god of Fire, Wind, and the desert. He is very popular given the fact that most of Drakken territory is harsh and desert-like. It is said the reason for this is that eons ago the Drakken people in their ignorance greatly offended him and he cursed their land to give them a reminder of his power. His symbol is a flame. He is Drun's son. His wife is Icchak.[/hider] [hider=Icchak][img]http://www.thegameassembly.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/witch.jpg[/img] Goddess of heat, ash, sand, and the sun, Icchak represents suffering and sickness, either protecting from it or causing it depending on your point of view. Her elements are Wind and Earth. She is the wife of Vontfex and her symbol is the sun.[/hider] I have more in mind but I need to do laundry and also get to work on a post. This is just a rough outline.
