Though the gods dwell beyond the confines of the world, they are drawn to it like moths to a candleflame. Too often they seek to force their will upon the realms of mortals. Channeling this divine will lies upon the shoulders of the cleric and paladin, the skald and druid. They turn to the gods through prayer, ritual, sacrifice, and devotion, all in hopes of becoming avatars of that power; to unleash it upon the world at large.Within Gods & Legends, there are hundreds of deities for both your characters and monsters; dwarves, elves, gnomes, orcs, gnolls, and more besides. Each deity comes complete with key information; from what kinds of temples they prefer to the correct time to make an offering. It also includes short stats for the gods of the Celts, ancient Germans, Norse, Romans and Greeks, Egyptians, and the Slavic Gods.More than that, Gods & Legends comes with guidelines on how to run deities and the characters that worship them.
