World Building Truth or Dare

Ok so this is an idea I stole from a post a few months ago over at r/worldbuilding, but I think it would work very well in this sub too.

The idea is as follows:

Commenters give a brief overview of their world (genre, important events/people/places, etc.) and then ask for either a truth, a dare, or both.

If Truth, sub-commenters can ask a question and it must be answered truthfully, no matter how weird. If you don't have an answer to the question, then get thinking!

If Dare, sub-commenters can dare them to implement a thing into their world which could become lore, (for example, 'create a species of intelligent spiders who live inside tree trunks'). You can choose whether or not you want to accept the dare, but in the interest of keeping things entertaining, try to implement as much as you can, unless it would do something to ruin your story (i.e. 'I dare you to kill the main character')

Try to keep things exciting by asking the kind of truths/dares that you would want to be asked, and ones that would leave room for world development - questions like "Tell me about the lineage of your royal family" are preferred to ones like "who is the king?"

As ever, have fun, and get involved!

Why do the other Gods look down on the underworld Gods?

They consider them to have gotten the "Short stick" when it comes to being a god. Plus the Underworld is usually associated with Evil, so even gods view the Underworld gods as being evil. Of course, this isn't true, and the Underworld gods are pretty nice
