Civs backgrounds...
« on: January 18, 2015, 04:47:51 pm »
So in my current fortress "Syrupbraid" I decided to look at what the parent civ was, "The Wealthy Bodice", which low and behold its nobility is mostly female, 6 out 7 of the nobility is female dorfs, 4 baroness, 1 countess and the queen.
 I then checked for gods, and it seems most of my Dwarves worship a Zombie, Vesh, he most often takes the form of a rotting Male dwarf and is associated with suicide, death and rebirth, oh and has already got a necromancer worshipping him, AND has created something called Blossomfate, which I dont want my dorfs to meet, the other gods I have found is Avus Minedboulders, associated with mountains, and a Goddess Kovest associated with wealth, valour, war and Fortresses, she has aided 4 beasts in establishing their existences mainly aocwar will rage forever...
Have I picked a Dark Dwarf Civ that worships a zombie, and a goddess that whats an eternal war, with a matriahal gov, but I suppose their could be worse

You must be new here, and unfamiliar with mythology...

War gods are exactly what it says on the tin, war gods. It's their bloody job (literally and figuratively) to spill blood and foster war.

Well, except for the defensive/less violent war gods ala Athena but we don't have that in DF.

Death gods are exactly the same. Rotting death gods is nothing new. (See norse mythology). Also, picturing a death god as rotting makes perfect sense.

You need to kill more goblins. Preferably in bloody, exploding ways. Elves work well also.
