O god, i didn't know this was going on.
 Palette: Gods are real beings and can be seen as VERy powerful creatures, not a power who is omnisient and omnibeing. They walk the earth like any other being but have great powers and are immortal. Like EXTREMELY Gifted.
This seems logical, as gods are going to be replaced, but maybe we could detail that they usually live in some place very difficult to get to (Asgard in Norse mithology or Mount Olympus in Greek mithology)

What about the core of the earth, and volcanos are the entrances.

It seems cool, but the others should vote on that too.

PS: For some reason the gods suggested by GWG remind me of Ziz, Leviathan and Behemot (and that's cool)

Wait, there's a player list?

Also, which?

The three of them, because of their connection with air, earth and water, and the fact the three of them are ancient as the world itself. (In fact some creatures like Ziz, Behemot and Leviathan related to those three gods is something really interesting I think)

The original three, gotcha.

Anyways, no intentional connection. I was more thinking of the Big Three gods of Greek mythology, Zeus (sky/air), Hades (earth/ground), and Poseidon (sea/water). Of course, I fully expect that Ae, Io, and Uy will have many differences from those three. Especially since they're sorta like the Titans, given their timing.

More like the primordial gods like Nyx and Gaia. The Titans were their kids in turn. We'll probably have even more godly generations, I'd wager.

Either way, the Big Three came later.

Everyone ok with the gods being physical creatures and living somewhere difficult to acces for the mortals?

Yes.  I'm okay with all palette suggestions so far.  Any more to add in?

I have none, everything seems good. Let's round 'em up and see if we can get started.

Well, I think we only have to add a few races, and then we can start. Minor races and unique creatures can be made as we go. I had a suggestion for our orcs to be slightly different, and I think we agree that we should have humans, so if any of you has suggestions for the other races, I think it's the time to start letting us now

"A few races"? Gotcha.

Gnomes, innovative short humanoids.
Humans, aggresive and shrewd thin humanoids.
Orcs, industrious tusked humanoids.
Shidhe, magical winged humanoids.

I'm not sure if that's something we need to do beforehand. It'll happen organically within gameplay, anyhow. We can't really define a race forever in any case, as they're bound to change over the centuries.
