Here's the list I compiled for Prophets, so we can all see who's who on the map. Cause I was getting confused. Is all this correct?

Aarklar - Maz Lo
Amplarx - Orlen
an Carraig - MacLaomainn
Anaya - Imanu
Bel - ul-zakaru
Brid - Raffa
Calais - Escalus
Dagon - Shard Krowe
Devaguhya - AkAza
Etzicoatl - Tenochlan Uaxca
Keev Furaha - Father Herald
O-gon-cho - Raucous
Rothmog - Brodel
Tawhiri-Matea - Momoe/Atama
Telmag Ganoras - Barlin
uKulwa - Ulwazi
Unzen - Varmor
The Void - The Scholar
Zephyr - Azver

Did you notice that some deities already have 'command' of specific locations! As seen on the map:

Marvan - Aarklar
Nishal - Calais
Magni - Eztlicoatl
Senanye - Keev Furaha
The Womb - Rothmog
The Stile - The Void
Ermynth - Unzen
Vor-ta-vor - Zephyr

I need to get moving!

Nice, but that's certainly not what he calls his jungle

Oh, that reminds me. Zephyr has renamed the Sun. He's pretty excited about being able to do such a thing!

Haha! He can call it whatever he likes . . .

But if I were Eztlicoatl, and if Eztlicoatl was a human, I think I'd roll my eyes and say "pfft".

But speaking seriously, given the size of Eiran, and the great diversity of races and species upon it, it is very likely that there would be dozens and dozens of names for the same thing. Ssathiss, for instance, would not be able to enunciate a word like "Magni", which is, nomenclaturally speaking, a very distinct word from place names they are familiar with (such as Oaxcala), and seems to belong to a different language entirely. Eztlicoatl, on the other hand, has no interest in, or intention to, recognising names not prescribed by himself.

And Montressor would say - people name places, not gods.

When we make an artifact, can we stipulate events needed to destroy it? Or is that up to you?

No, that is up to me - this way we can also prevent meta-knowledge (for instance, if in the next Pantheon game your new deity finds the same artifact, this way he or she doesn't know how to destroy it, which is how it should be).

I think you're changing how you spell your name.

Yup, makes sense to me.

Ah! That's better! I must thank this Vain creature. Yes, I feel very pretty now!

Oh g-ds...

Talk of Pantheon 4 already???

...at least this bodes well for version 4.0 also being set on Eiran...

It's simple to remember . . .

Eztlicoatl. Z before the T, and two Ls.

Said: Es-li-Ko-AT-L (silent T)

Geez, I dunno...

Ah, you misunderstand, one who looks not unlike the Sun God. I did not name the Forests; I have simply informed you of the Forests' names for themselves. (With the exception of Cook's Woods, which has not yet given itself a name. Cook's Woods is the first name given to it by any of its inhabitants.) Or as close as we can come to the only mode of communication that we of the Pantheon all share. And who but the God of Forests could divine such information? Perhaps if we had a Namer or Patterner in our midsts... At any rate, any of Eiran's inhabitants will likely continue to call the Forest they inhabit whatever they are accostomed to calling it. But if any of the Pantheon wish to discuss a Forest with me, I will know which you mean if you use its proper name. And using a name other than that is likely an insult, neh?

Out of context but - from your few dealings with the Great Blood Serpent - do you think he's overly concerned about another 'deity's' sensibilities?

Oh, my, that does feel good!! DAMN I'm sexy!!! -- My profoundest thanks to the one without whose help this would never have been more than a dream. If that one wants to be publically known, say the word. *deep bow*
