Young Kingdoms Deities

[selain]

Hi to all, can anyone tell me where i can find a list of the Young Kingdoms deities with a short description of each?

Thank you in advance

[Ant]

You might try the Chaosium RPGs: Stormbringer or Dragon Lords of Melnibonأ©. Or the old AD&D Deities & Demigods.

For now, a quick list (from DLOM) (goddesses in italics):

• Chaos: Arioch (chaos), Balaan (pain), Balo "The Jester" (tricksters), Chardos "The Reaper" (death), Eequor (knowledge), Hionhurn (destruction), Mabelode (war), Narjahn (beggers), Pyaray (ocean), Slortar (debauchery), Xiombarg (war).
  Law: Arkyn (knowledge), Donblas (law), Elgis (peace), Goldar (trade), Mirath (healing), Salik (fertility), Theril (artists), Tovik (war), Vallyn (wisdom).
  Elementals: Grome (earth), Kakatal (fire), Lassa (air), Straasha (water)

mfG,
Ant

selain, I intend to locate my first printing of Deities & Demigods this weekend and scan the stats/descriptions of all the characters in the Melnibonأ©an mythos. When I'm done, I'll upload them to

[link expired] of the Image Gallery.

So check back in a couple days and you should have what you're looking for... free of charge! :D

Hey, that was free!

Seriously, there's more text in DLOM - and I could provide that, too - but it doesn't add much value, just fleshes out each deity's "portfolio": no stats, no descriptions, ...

The AD&D D&D covers fewer of them - Arioch, Donblas, and Xiombarg, and the elemental lords, from memory - but does give more info and some excellent pics by Jeff Dee (which are already in the gallery [link expired] ).

Since I'm one of those fools who got rid of his old AD&D books.. nice offer, PWV! It'll be interesting to see how the character/monster stats compare with DLOM.

Ciao,

I thought we already had some scans of the old Deities and Demigods stuff somewhere on the site.

I could be wrong, but I swear I've seen them. Tracking them down here may save you some effort this weekend, PWV.

Thanks, Ant. Thanks, Doc.

I linked to the Deities & Demigods Album above, but you'll note that all we have there is the artwork. No stats. I intend to scan the full pages, so that you get the images and the info.

=== Elemental Lords ===

There are four primary elemental lords. These have generated numerous offspring, but those are beyond the scope of this work. When invoked these appear as colossal, humanoid approximations of the lesser elemental appearances.
Worshippers of the Elemental Lords use the Druid or Ranger progression paths and the spells listed. Spells affecting or involving animals or plants or elements specifically affect, summon, or involve the appropriate element or elemental.

Grome
The Lord or the Earth and master of the earth elementals. Long ago Grome and Strassh[a] cooperated to construct the marvellous Ship of Land and Sea, that sails across land as easily as across water. Grome lost the ship in a dispute, and Grome and Straasha are now enemies. Grome worshipers will resist water magic first.

Kakatal
Lord of Flame and master of the fire elementals. All spells will involve, affect, or influence fire. Kakatal and Lassa are enemies, and Kakatal worshipers will always undermine the air cults.

Lassa
The lady of air and mistress of sylphs is a gentle creature, but would never let herself be taken advantage of and Kakatal always threatens. She and he are enemies, and air worshipers will always seek the undoing of the fire cults. All spells that involve or affect an element or creature will specify air and sylphs, as appropriate.

Straasha
The Lord of the Seas is a favored god of sailors, coastal dwellers, farmers, and anyone else to whom bountiful water is essential to life. [Undines] are his children. All spells that specify, affect, or involve an element or creature will specify water and undines, as appropriate.

=== Church of Chaos ===

Clerics and Paladins devote themselves to the following gods and patrons. There are many other gods of Chaos, most minor. The entries suggest appropriate Cleric spell domains.
Paladins of Chaos should use the Blackguard prestige class, dedicating themselves to the nature of their patron Lord of Chaos.

Arioch
This patron of Melnibonأ© can provide much to his worshipers, but is content to let priests administer spells for the domains of Chaos and Trickery.

Balaan
A god of pain whose worship base is understandably small, except among citizens of the isle of Pan Tang. His domains are Chaos and Destruction. His worshipers are all mad.

Balo
Often considered a Lord of Chaos, Balo allows no rigid boundaries. His followers live this credo, and are madmen, rogues, tricksters, and thieves. He provides worshipers with spells from the Law, Chaos, Trickery, and Luck domains.

Chardos
The Reaper has power over the forces of life and death. He grants his worshipers spells from the domains of Chaos, Death, and Earth. The scythe is his symbol. He is master of the undead.

Eequor
This goddess of knowledge specializes [in] bringing the powers of magic to women. Her domains are Chaos, Knowledge, and Magic.

Hionhurn
The Executioner, Lord of Gibbets, Guardian of Guilt is worshiped by those few who seek to know death and remorse. His domains are Chaos, Death, and Destruction.

Mabelode
The King of Swords is the god of warriors, soldiers, and captains. The armies of the Chaos nations pay him homage. His magic domains are Chaos, Strength, and War.

Narjhan
The Lord of Beggars revels in the revulsion felt by all good folk of the pretty towns and houses. His domains are Chaos, Luck, and Trickery.

Pyaray
From his Chaos Fleet, Pyaray’s worshipers terrorize the oceans. His domains are Chaos, Death, and Water. His worshipers favour the trident.

Slortar
This oldest god revels in decadence and debauchery. His domains include Chaos, Animal, and Trickery.

Xiombarg
The Queen of Swords is an asexual god of war. Favoring revenge and cunning, she offers the domains of Chaos, War, and Trickery.

=== Law ===

Clerics and Paladins of Law devote themselves to the following gods and patrons. There are many other gods of law implied in the saga; few are actually detailed. The entries suggest appropriate Cleric domains.
Paladins should dedicate themselves to the nature of their patron Lord of Law.

Arkyn
The Lord of Natural Law explores the world and seeks to understand. He governs the domains of Animal, Knowledge, Law, and Strength.

Donblas
The Lord of Law or Righteous Vengeance governs the domains of Law, War. His worshipers are Fighters and Paladins, who favour the longsword.

Elgis
This deity of peace and civilization governs the domains of Good, Law, and Protection. He is worshiped by enlightened rulers and diplomats.

Goldar
The Lord of Trade is favored by any who live by making a profit from business transactions, especially merchants, bankers, and shopkeepers. Goldar draws on the domains of Law, Magic, and Travel.

Mirath
The goddess of death is present throughout our lives. Healers and women are her particular worshippers. She provides Law, Death, and Healing domain spells.

Salik
The Lord of Fertility is, of course, a favorite of farmers or anyone who derives their living from the earth. Salik provides spells in the domains of Law, Earth, and Luck.

Theril
The Lord of Inspiration provides dominion spells of Law, Protection, and Healing. Artists hear her [sic] calling.

Tovik, Lord of Violence
He specializes in the Destruction and War domains. He is the god of Fighters and Barbarians.

Vallyn the Wise
She is the goddess of scholars and scribes, and provides spells in the domains of Protection and Knowledge. She stresses the learning of languages.

Cheers,
Ant

Phew! At least I was half correct. That means that all of my hallucinations are still intentional. :lol:

[Doc]

Aha! Found this under "Games"

[broken link]

I get stuck in the forum and don't always remember the rest of the site :oops:

[PsychicWarVeteran]

Nice, Ant. I've not seen that before. Thanks!

And thanks to you, too, Doc! Wow. I guess I don't need to scan the book afterall. Best I at least locate it, though, for my own peace of mind.

[Doc]

And thanks to you, too, Doc! Wow. I guess I don't need to scan the book afterall. Best I at least locate it, though, for my own peace of mind.

I know I have a copy somewhere, too. It may be in my parents' basement. Every time I see a copy selling for $75, I think I should find it :lol:

I'm glad I could save you a little time. It's not like you aren't contributing here. :D

[Ant]

I guess I don't need to scan the book afterall.

Mmm... maybe you do need to. A lot of the pictures are "missing", most on the "M-K" page. Or maybe that's just because they've been moved around in the galleries and the links just need updating?

But - you know what? - I had seen those pages before... I'd just forgotten they were here! :sad:

Ciao,

Thanks to all for the help, i found what i was looking for, i was searching for a brief description of the deities, i had to make a short introduction of the world for a RPG tournamente adventure.

[Ian]

Just would like to point out - Ant's list is the current pantheon as described
by Chaosium - some of the deities are not MM's creations, but the creation
of the game authors (Goldar for example) and there are some MM creations
left out (Miggea for example).
