I'm making my home-brew campaign world in preparation of 4th Edition. I'm starting now because it usually takes me months to get everything set down and I want to jump right into 4th a couple weeks after I get the books.
I'm posting it here because I'm hoping to get some help fleshing out on what I've done so far. Right now all I've got are the deities.Just a note I'm bad at naming things so I generally have placeholder names. There are only going to be 4 races in my game, humans and a race created from humans by each of the main deities.
First the deities.
Righteous Fire Leader Guy (RFLG) is going to be the stereotypical pseudo-Christian God type. Very focused on the healing, community and smiting. He expects his followers to respect and obey their superiors as well as be compassionate and caring for their subordinates. As opposed to the majority of these types he is going to be Lawful Neutral. He is sort of a St. Cuthbert mixed with a bit of Pelor. The Empire that worships him is going to have a very rigid caste system with the lower rungs having few or no rights and the higher ones almost complete control. Similar to the Hindu caste system or feudal Japan.
His divine servant are going to be all angelic type beings. His Cleric domains (or their 4e equivalent) will include Fire, Healing, Wrath, and Community.
The race he creates will be an all male race (that cross breeds with humans). Their appeareance will be mostly human but they all have bronzed skin and their eyes and hair appear to be made of fire (and can be any appropriate color.) I dont have much else or them yet but I want them to be mechanically and fluff suited to being psionics and warlords.
Hippy Nature's Wrath Chick (HNWC) is going to be the deity of Nature. I'm not sure whether to make her Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Good. I want her to connected to the fey in some way. Her divine servants are going to be magical beats, fey, and possible some of the spirit-like elementals
I'm not sure what I want from her race except that I want them to have the fey subtype and be an all female race. I have a vague idea that they should be good Warlocks, Druids (or whatever race gets druidic magic. they are a big wild shape race), and Sorcerors. Probably a bonus to Wis and Cha. I'm tempted to make them cat-like in some way but that may just be the furry in me speaking.
Mean Evil Destruction Dude (MEDD) is going to be the evil deity for the setting. I've already decided that this deity has already killed the other two at the beginning of my campaign and is manipulating the other two races/empires as well as his own into fighting each other. He is going to be the deity of destruction and possibly death. He is most definatly Chaotic Evil. His divine servants are going to be giants and dragons.
His race is probably going to be similar to the new dragon race in the 4e phb but with a focus on individual fiefdoms instead of an empire.
Obviously I cant really work out mechanics yet but with the races I'm trying to get an idea of what they will be good at.
