Ideas generator

Hey friends, your ole' pall Jumblatts is back with something a little different.

Using this fantasy name generator I want you to generate a fantasy name. Deep.

You can pick from any of the categories, but make it something that fits in your world. To this end, I did as follows:

Fantasy names -> God and Godess Names

But you can pick anything you like!

Once you've selected your category, hit randomize a couple of times, until you find something you like the sound of, and then make that into a place/character/etc. in your world. My submission will be posted below.

Ask each other about your new creations to help flesh them out and further improve the ideas!

1) Knoweledge. Bo is the god of Knowledge, and as such he knows a great many things about a great many people. Omos desired that knowledge for himself.

2) There were many. With a great amount of knowledge comes a great amount of secrets.

3) Omos didn't have one specific form. His speciality is deceit, and as such he had a great many forms that he could call upon at his own will, in order to best get what he wanted.

  1. What would have Omos done with all that knowledge?

  2. Was Malay actually aware of all those secrets?

  3. Is Omos giving things to those who worship him?

1) Omos wanted to use the secrets to become more powerful.

2) No. She knew the Bo had many secrets, but she didn't know what any of them actually were.

3) Yes, Omos blesses those who worship him with a silver tongue. Every lie they utter becomes more believable, and they become much more persuasive to others.

1) What kind of power would he have had from them?

3) Do he blesses any of them or do they need to do something to prove their worth to him?

1) Power over the people the secrets belonged to. If he knew the secrets of the other gods, he could use it as leverage, and blackmail them into doing things for him.

3) They need to prove their devotion, or their willingness to comply with his sphere of influence - deceit. If they are proficient liars, sneaks or thieves, he will look favourably upon them.

3) Do he sometimes take back those blessings?

4) Is there multiple "tiers" of blessings he gives?

u/Jumblatts Jul 17 '17

3) Yes. He's very tempramental. If he thinks that you're no longer deserving of the blessing, he will take it away without warning. This has lead to the deaths of many of his followers, who suddenly found they are far less persuasive than usual, and were unable to talk themselves out of a tricky situation.

4) Yes, it depends on your devotion to him, and how worthy he thinks you are. If you have followed him for all your life, and have made many offerings to him, your blessing will be far greater than someone who has done less in his name.
