So not much activity here.... guess we're all waiting for that d*mn game to be released.
Well anyway, one of the many sporadic things I'm on and off working on is creating pantheons for my setting.
So to aid me in my endeavour I have done some 'research' into a bunch of ancient real-life polytheistic religions, namely the Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Germanic/Norse, Celtic, Slavic and Phonetician.
So what I did was to skim (to varying degrees) through all the gods', from the different religions, Wikipedia pages and copied their assorted domains, aspects and portfolios, into a document. I also added some of the major deity domains types from DnD.
Then I distilled all those aspects into 7 big groups and several sub-groups, that way I have a big list of aspects that I can use for inspiration when I'm making up deities.
So if anyone is in a similar situation or might be in the future, here is a link to the document I've made.
P.S. some of the aspect are kinda weird sentences but remember that they are copy/pasted off Wikipedia.
Also, if it is of interest, the raw-writing of the historic lore of the ancient Thydorian culture from my setting is about 2/3 way done, then comes the re-written process so it looks presentably and not like an affront to people with English as their first language.
