Favorite Religion Order
« on: July 13, 2008, 11:10:14 am »

For funny or for cool, the religions of Dwarf Fortress always SOUND very interesting and story inspiring, don't they?  Except this one:   The Competitive Fellowship of Boring.  "Praise be to the mundane!  Grant the things which we already have and leave us in estatic meh-dom."

I had a god of filth who actually had the form of a fly

I was rather surprised

unfortunately he was one of the only three gods with a non-Civilisation race form. I do kinda find the ones with multiple forms to be rather interesting.

I had a female-dwarf god called Osed (O with an accent, if you're into pronunciation) the Perplexing Will, which isn't so much a name as a theodicy.
Anyway, her spheres where dusk, twilight, the dawn, the sun, fire and metals, which is just greedy (from the same fortress; Kekath, ruler of season!)

It's quite acceptable.
Why do we need a god of light and day? There's already enough light when it's day.
But the light in the night is the precious thing so we should pray to that goddes for her to send us some moonlight/clear sky and to let our lanterns burn.

I had a god of mountains whose name translated to 'Finger.'  He appeared as giant sloth, and is one of the only animalistic gods I can remember having.

reminds me of Zuul, destructor of worlds, who once came in the form of a giant Slor.

...

sorry, let me see if there are any interesting dieties in my doomed fort...
meh 3 gods: fortress, song and wealth one sphere each too boring to even recount.
the other big one then...
Doren (MD): wealth, minerals and jewels
Ular (MD):  dicipline
Migrur akath Usir , the winter of glaciers (m longnose gar): fish, fishing, water
Gembish (MD) : water
Ud %rkad, Ud the large goals (FD) : courage
Kun Nokgolashm^n, riddleshades (FD) : twilight
Id Itur Datan , the boulder of Iron (FD) :metals
Akil Berrethz&m , the earthen bulwark (FD): fortresses and mountains
Titthal Taronelbel, YellReknowned (MD): fame and rumors

not much excitement.  Surprising is the dual deityness on water while there is little fishing doing on there used to be a small fishing outpost near the river, but since several ambushes led through there there has been little industry there, not after the sewers were completed and a fishing pond dug out in the undercity.

Yeah, you don't see that very often.  I've got a Fireman diety in there too, whose name I cna't remember.

I tried to go back but there was far too much peril.

Woah,  I have one that actually makes sense.
Osram Taxivory the Pearl of Luxury most often takes the form of a male dwarf and is associated with wealth.
