Nine years ago tonight (I’m trying to maintain a couple days’ buffer at least, but I’m writing this the night before it’s supposed to go up) I wrote Hilljack Deities of the Goblin Pantheon, as part of my work on Polyhedral Pantheons. I figure they’ll be a good testbed for …
In fact, it looks like Good, Evil, Chaos, and Law domains are all hard to define. Looks like I’ll need to mulligan this one. I tried drafting aspects for the alignment domains, and have concluded they will probably be the most difficult because they are so abstract. For most domains, …
Picked the title when I thought each domain would be a page or two, turns out I got two domains on a single page. Ah well, keeping the title as it is. Over the last couple of days I’ve posted a deity template and a domain template. Before I go …

In the 2021 A-Z Blog Challenge I took a run at Divine Trappings. Something of a follow up to Polyhedral Pantheons, Divine Trappings are descriptive elements that might be applied to a deity (and their associated religions) based on the domains assigned to that deity. I didn’t quite finish the …
