Caislen Campaign Notes

This is an old revision of the document!

In my game world I've declared that there are not many (civilized) humanoid gods and have not been for quite awhile. Monsters however seem to have plentiful amounts of gods available to them. I'm not opposed to popping open the Monster Manual and just using whatever the default is for them. This creates some issues for any PC cleric but at the same time is ripe for quests and plot hooks! Oh poor players, it is so unfair they have to struggle to find their gods when the monsters don't.

CURRENT POTENTIAL GODS FOR PLAYERS

• An unspecified God of Lost Socks, a likely chaotic neutral abstract concept of a deity, which has spawned Zingle & Order Of The Lost Socks.
  • Zingle added NPC Unicorn Socks to his mythos.
• When introduced to their new game setting at LV 1 the players found themselves surprised to be starting at sea on a passenger ship. A kraken, known as “Krak(AR)en” took the ship down. Being powerful beings, it has future potential to evolve.
• Eyrun seems to have a vibe that could spawn some sort of Cloud Giant or Greek themed deity later. So far she's got a “cloud with a silver lining and a smiley face” symbology thing going on but not much else. She's also been to Mustardia where they have a “Cloud Stone” present & gotten to sample its power.¹⁾
• After the Kraken incident, the then LV 2 players were trapped on an island with Kuo-Toa and encountered a statue representing one of the monster gods, with a head of a Moray Eel & body of a Sea Sponge. The statue healed them when they left important items near it. Later they'd take a small Kuo-Toa Idol weighing 10LBS off a Kuo-Toa they'd fought. It'd turn out to randomly heal whomever was carrying it for 1d8 hit points. But after a few healings it grew physically a little and went up to 15LBS. If they get dependent on it eventually I'll weave in more lore. Presently at 20LBS and stashed at the Mirror House.
• In the Dense Forest in the outskirts of the Goldvale area players encountered an area full of tall bamboo. The bamboo moved out of their way as they entered the area, leading them to a building which one might describe as being “no larger than my dining room” with a wooden door. The entire thing is plain looking on the outside. Inside more of the same but there is an altar, made of living wood but with a symbol on it of a vertical line with a few little evenly tilted upward branch lines on it (a cane of bamboo with leaf branchings maybe). This ended up being a temple to a Neutral Good deity of Knowledge. While PCs were here they got all sorts of insight into the local area and other pressing issues. Since the seemingly interactive bamboo around the place was interactive and this building and altar were in great condition, one can assume there is a decent sized base of followers, probably forest dwellers of some sort, to this deity.
• The Great Pumpkin - Some sort of nature entity that revolves around finding the most sincere pumpkin, with some elf followers existing over in the Dense Forest.
• Heaglin – a lost god.
• Hayte (Can also be spelled as Hayt²⁾, pronounced “Hate”.) This is an evil Deity of some sort which is slightly lost to history. Elements of Hayte have appeared in the game, although no real details have emerged on specific godly attributes beyond just being “evil”.
  • Shrine of Hayte – A worn and fairly generic nearly forgotten old shrine in the Dense Forest region near Goldvale.
  • Eye Of Hayte – A powerful artifact from the past that seems to have reappeared in present times.
  • The Church Of Hayte – Rumored to be North of Goldvale, but not visited by the party. Rumors suggest the infamous Alden somehow ties into this.
• Also…
