Definitely a problem I can help with. I have 12 chapters of my own sci-fi/fantasy novel. A good place to start with meaningful names: www.behindthename.com/Or if you want something completely made up: www.seventhsanctum.com/gens/index.htmlThat one also has a load of useful fantasy/sci fi writing tools. If you want help coming up with more gods, could you list the ones that you have already? How many do you want to have total? |

Ok then. There are quite a few options for gods/goddesses. You can have seasonal gods (spring, summer, winter, fall), gods of celestial bodies (stars, sun, moon), god of agriculture and/or woods, then of course there are gods for various mortal activites such as hunting, crafting, music, poetry, storytelling, etc., or you could have a god of the weather. All just suggestions of course. If you don't like any of them, I can do some thinking and give you more suggestions.

Oh, another thing about Gods, is you can do what they do in the FR campaign setting and make different Gods have different levels of power, i.e. the Elder Gods are the strongest, but put in some weaker Gods and whatnot.
