the world of torrandels

Cults you know religions based on powerful figures as gods.

I know them. They're kinda terrifying.

Uh...let's not use the word cult....

And i don't want evolution in this Tyler,frankly it makes no sense to me.
N.j,I don't believe cults are legitimate culturally impacting device,they're mostly small
What we mean are full blown religions and cultural views,
But let's not talk about those yet, let's talk about the history of what happens next.
I'm pretty sure a cult in most cases is a small organization ioff people who choose to worship something, which is regarded by others as sinister or strange. Like satan...
It also means a misplaced or excessive admiration of a particular person or thing,
Also, a system of religious veneration and devotion directed towards a particular figure or object.
In most cases it carries a negative term, and I don't believe it's a proper term for most torrandels deities. But ey,maybe in terms for the evil deities,
Cults aren't really a good thing....

Evolution is just creatures adapting to nature.

Evolutionist here. We don't need evolution in a fantasy world.

Pokémon.

Yeah but this ain't Pokemon.
This is torrandels byetch! FAᖷ yea!*puts on shades*
Also,from a storytelling standpoint,wouldn't Having many ages of evolution just add many unnecessary years of just random development of creatures where nothing important happens be the equivalent of Having that boring a ss filler nobody likes?its pointless,
How about what happens next is a number of deities rebel at the dea of having to work with the lower creatures,and desire to have the serve them

Ok.

Yeah. Oh hey, there's an idea in some stories where the many gods of that world only have power when they have worshippers. Could that play into this?

Maybe just make it where they have a base power,and there are numerous variables that increase or lessen it,praise being one

I like zain's idea.

I like it too,but I don't want it to be the one force driving the torrandels deities...

Ok.

Yeah

.... someone help me krill the deity controlling sadness.

....Tyler,sit.
No attention grubbing depressive moods here,this is for serious work.
*covered in ferrets*
Besides,without sadness,what scale do we have for joy,sadness is a good thing at times,haven't you watched inside out dammit?!

No.

I got it how about some dietys give birth to mortals which start the religians and some deity wars after all the dietys in terms or power are evenly matched and need an extra boost say an army of minions.

.... demigods!

No...the deities can't procreate with other beings to make demigods,or give birth to mortals,they can go from the astral lands and torrandels as they please though

drat but wars between the deitys would result in devistation on a massive level like say grand canyon level.

Yeah they often try not to get involved in wars

I like the compound power thing. What if, the amount of control that each deity can exert on the physical world is held in check by each other? And a deity is only able to do something drastic if they're much more powerful or the other deities agree with what they're doing.

And so usually they just affect the world through the followers/creatures/elements of nature associated with them.

Anyway, it wouldn't be unusual for whole lands to have been shaped by conflicts between gods.

yeah like if one deity got to out of control he/she'd get sealed away in a pit by the others and the mortals might built a temple or city on top of it.
