[quote=@Vec] Well, honestly, now that I've had a more thorough look at it, no. Your two domains feel like they're from entirely different deities. Perception (awareness, sight, hearing, sensory truth) has no organic thematic connection to Corruption (moral decay, transformation, degradation). The roleplay example focuses almost exclusively on corruption/temptation—perception barely appears except as flavor text about "hearing cries." Additionally, claiming Yzechr invented sight and hearing is staggeringly huge and creates immediate worldbuilding contradictions. Were all other gods blind and deaf before this one arrived? [i]"Can hear every crying voice in the world and respond no matter how far away"[/i] is a campaign-destroying power level if taken literally. Refer to my addendum about divine omniscience that I posted earlier to understand, in broad terms, the power levels of deities in this setting. Your motivation says Yzechr wants to protect the damned, but the roleplay example describes them as "the cruelest entity in the realm...who preys on the weak." These are opposite concepts. A predator doesn't protect anyone, it instead consumes everything in its path. If Yzechr is genuinely trying to save people, the framing should reflect that. If Yzechr is cruel and exploitative, own that and adjust the motivation. Lastly, your list of followers mixes people who make sense (outlaws, outcasts, rebels) with professions that feel totally wrong. Artists? Why would artists worship a corruption deity? Unless you mean desperate artists (starving poets who'd sell their souls for fame), this feels random. Scouts and watchmen? These are often lawful, disciplined professions. Why would they abandon moral principles? The "perception" domain connection is there, but it doesn't fit the corruption angle. A bit of specificity would fix these issues; "Disgraced artists," "exiled scouts," "watchmen who've seen too much and lost faith in the law," are more fitting followers for such a deity. [/quote] This god is based on the instinct for survival, the will to hurt and take from the world. I write it in a kind of mortal perspective so for those who is on the lawful side it would seem quite cruel, some view their moral as precious as life itself after all. To take what make them human can be considered 'the most cruel' act one can do. If you murder someone it will haunt you for a long time. For Yzechr it is the way to save people, the most effective way. If you don't teach the weak to kill, hurt, steal, or break a few laws, would you think they will survived for long? Maybe? But Yzechr doesn't think so. That's why they always corrupted 'the weak' or in Yzechr's words; "teach them a new way to live". If you are not THAT desperate then offering to Yzechr is safe most of the time (emphasis on most of the time). I can assure you that Yzechr is genuinely willing to save everyone and the transformation to corruption is mostly voluntarily. But it is also true that those who transform often don't have a choice so most people on the lawful side would view it as predatory. It is said that they are the one who created perception but for mortal (or bring perception to the realm of mortal, if you have problem with the first one) The purpose of a tiger's eyes are to hunt the rabbit, so perception can be seen as a way to inflict more hurts to the world. It is definitely a way for creature to survive. The sound is there, the sight is there, but in order to perceive those you would need some kind of medium. The perception domain is in that territory. With the followers, I listed the people who would even considered worship this god. Let's face it, since when are the artist not desperate? They struggle when they are unknown, they struggle even more to hold on to their fame once they made it. The scout and watchmen will probably not be the most devote follower most of the days, they might not even considered themselves a devotee. But a good chuck of them will probably memorized Yzechr prayer on speed dial in case something happen in their line of work, especially one with less strong sense of moral. More so because the outlaws who worship Yzechr as their main god would normally spare those who pray to Yzechr and offer them a place in their gang/organization as their faith practice, the buff in perception is just a bonus. If you see Scout and Watchmen as a lawful and disciplined profession you could say "why would they abandon their moral and worship a corruption god.", and sure some people are like that. But there are many people who got into those low pay, high risk profession because it is genuinely the only job they could feed their family. Think of the police force in your own country or around the world, do you think they are upright or corrupt? That's the reality, unfortunately. The law enforcement is usually the one who turned to corruption the fastest, and those people are definitely not in the minority. I imagine most sane civilization would ban the worship of this god. But they are the god of outlaws aka the people who specialize in bypassing the government restriction, so those ban will never be effective. Most people worship in secret though. The 'hearing every cry' is mostly flavor text but isn't it also true that the god can sense when people say their true name? So if my god don't mind people using their true name as a cry for help then isn't this practically the same? Yzechr would rarely punish mortals anyway, not to the point of death or ruination. In some sense they are one of the kindest god. (if you really squint hard enough...) Edit: If perception is not right, I can change it to Lies (it is formerly Deception anyway)
