This thread reminded me that I bookmarked the second poster's original thread.

Oh yeah: Nazis.  Now I lost the argument.  So you can't argue with me anymore.  Nyah.

Onbir the Safe Healer: Human god of Sacrifice.

Nullung Hatespew the Mites of Vice: Human god of depravity, lust and the night. mites of vice... ew.

Incidentally, both those are from the same group, The Mirthful Kingdom. Nullung even had an impersonator who rode a wave of popularity into office. The impersonator? An eyeless, rhythmically undulating weasel monster. He started a few wars, tamed a bunch of animals, tried to create the position of Lord more than a few times, and ultimately burned up in dragon fire.

Also, a wolf god which, while not altogether unusual/funny/interesting, struck me as eerily similar to something I had created elsewhere, long ago...

Arceth Deadplan, the diety of games, death, and suicide.

Russian Roulette, anyone?

Imagine you're driving a car. Push the gas pedal to the floor. Close your eyes. Remain this way for ten minutes while turning the wheel at whim. This is Dwarf Fortress.
I don't mean to alarm you, but it appears that your Dwarves are all in fact elephants.

I was looking around at relationships of my first engraver in my current fortress. He worshipped a god called "Togal" who took the form of a male dwarf, and was the god of diseases, death, war and fortresses.
my reaction was that basically, he was the god of fortresses, because every other thing on that list is an essential part of any good fortress.

that dwarf is now known as Togal. He is, thus, worshiped by most of the dwarfs in that fortress.

My mayor, and the entire huge ass family of hers that got her said position, are all worshipers of Nolthag, dwarven goddess of disease. That has to be a pleasant faith to raise your children by.

"Alright, honey, make you say your prayer to Nolthag before bed, else your soul will forever rot in the eternal cesspool of sickness and decay."

"i know, mom..."

Fitting psychological preparation for the end of life for a lot of dwarves...

Why worship a god and hope he protects you from horrible deaths, when you can just prepare yourself for the horrible death whether it happens or not?
