To name the Gods

[gridlore]

OK, here are the current names for the main deities in my Pathfinder setting.

Law, The Building Father
Human: Codifex
Dwarf: Ordun
Elf: Lêgo
Halfling: Vodsa

Chaos, The Growing Mother
Human: Fractasia
Dwarf: Wirwar
Elf: Chäoso
Halfling: Matka

Good, the Bringer of Life
Human: Lavator
Dwarf: Dalicht
Elf: Vivo
Halfling: Záhradnic

Evil, the Destroyer and Corrupter
Human: Phagos
Dwarf: Schändir
Elf: Har-Magedono
Halfling: Zviera

The human names are the official names as used by the True Church. Gnomes use the Dwarf language for religious matters, so use the Dwarf titles for the gods. There are of course countless regional variations and titles.

I'm not moving that far east for some time! I've got at least ten nomadic nations in the Western Steppes already, let alone the horrible, awful, Lovecraftian, plans I have for China.

Why have real-world analogues in the game world at all?

Because history has done such a good job of writing stuff for me already. Take my Frankish Kingdom. It's Carolingian France without the split. I know the names of the various subdivisions, lineages, even some notable event dates.

It's always easier to add magic to a mundane setting, and modify the reality.
