Time for something a little different.
I thought we could do a little mini harko contest-type thing.
The Tendu are meant to have a a wide range of strange gods and dieties, governing different things and worshipped by different groups.
So I thought the best way to make a wide range of gods might be to get your guys involved.
Let's all make up a god!
The Tendu are vaguely hindu inspired, so that should give you starting point.
You can see an image of one of their dieties on the latest page, so that might give you the idea of what kind of things they might be worshipping (more details will follow!)
Come up with your own ideas and message them to me and I will post them all on here (dont post them on here right away as I want everyone to get a chance to think of ideas in isolation.)
I haven't really got a prize for this one, but you get to help expand the harkovast world and get a big thankyou.
Maybe I could russel something special up for the best one...

To give a bit more clarity on the types of gods that would fit.
Tendu gods are all physically represented, with statues and things.
I'm looking for odd, interesting out there ideas so let your imaginations run wild.

Hrrm...
A God/Goddess of...mists...
he/she is a god of luxury and relaxation...
Worship is via ingesting particular relaxant drugs. There's more to it but that's what most other races see, races that don't understand what it's all about maaan...
That's what came to mind. Something something it's not just for relaxing, it's actually a religious service for them!

I'll have to give this some thought.

The god who is perpetually on fire?
Nah, I'm kidding.
Will need some thought from a mindless tired than mine right now.
"mindless" meant to be "mind less"

Remember to describe their appearance as well as what they are god of, personality etc.
Tendu have no interest in worshipping abstract concepts, invisible spirits and gods who are everywhere and made of love and shit.

Fouratwooh
representation: humanoid idol with long hair/hose. (Idol doubling as a hooka container!)
Domain:Wisdom, Luxury, Protection, Water.
Basically...The idea is that Foratwooh is a god of hooka, and the idea is to play into the desire to gain wealth and luxury, and of course, to display and partake of it, to help motivate others who might otherwise think they can get by with the 'simple' life.
But it's more than simple hedonism!
Fouratwooh may appear like a simple pleasure seeker, but to actually disturb her bath is easier said then done!
She is clever, and has many plans to protect. Once, she's said to have escaped the Thane by pulling the plug and letting herself be pulling away by the receeding waters! Another time, she slipped free of Daithu (Old Tophish god that got 'adopted' by the Tendu) By offering him a drink that she turned to poison at the last second.
A tricky Goddess who's fond of outwitting her foes, instead of confronting them head-on.

Comrade, we're supposed to give Hark our ideas in private messages!
Hark, do the Tendu believe their gods exist in the world, or do they believe they are on another plane?

now do I risk the same shit the last time I shared an idea or do I take a crack at it and get rejected because of my reaction to what happened the last time I shared an idea and tried adding something to the world? hmm choices, choices. I guess none of the above could happen, I don't like my chances buts it's also a possibility I won't get kicked out of my idea and told to fuck off because it's one on one.
this has me conflicted

Tech you gotta decide that for yourself.
Renard, I was imagining their gods exist outside of the world, but I can be swayed to a different structure if someone has a good idea.

I'll give some options and we can talk it over, but I kind of like the idea that with such a diverse selections of gods, all of whom have their own unique personalities, some might exist in the world while others exist on a different plane (or different planes). The fact that there's so much room for diversity here means that anything is probably possible, as long as the gods themselves fit the Tendu character (not going to have any frugal and modest gods).

I had a good idea!
Once I've put the ideas through a vigorous grading process (I will show them to red ned and see what he thinks), I will draw pictures of the ones we like. So you get to see your gods drawn in harkovast style.
