Hi guys!
Long time fan! I don't know why it's actually taken me this long to post on here.
I'm having trouble creating my Pantheon. I wanted to try and create a Pantheon similar to Godsfall's Pantheon. Aram, the DM of Godsfall and former guest of the show, tried to create his Pantheon with a logical progression. I thought this would be an easy task but it's proven harder than I thought.
For context, this is a quick summary of the creation of the pantheon, my world, and its properties.
This is where I need you help, Block Party. I need logical combinations to create some of my desired gods as well as correcting me if my combinations aren’t well thought out. I would also love some other suggestions for more gods!
What I have so far:
Air + Fire = Sun
Water + Earth = Moon
Sad + Anger = Fear
Sad + Anger = Envy
Anger + Fire = Instinct
____ + ____ = Plants
____ + ____ = Animals
____ + ____ = Monsters
____ + ____ = Dreams
Fear + Dreams = Nightmare
____ + ____ = Time
Fire + ____ = Energy? (I’m thinking like controlling kinetic, gravitational, etc. Sort of like Force in Godsfall)
____ + ____ =
Other ideas: Lies, the 7 deadly sins, knowledge
If it helps, here is some additional info.
Any help and suggestions are welcome! Block Heads, you’re my only hope! If you have any questions and need more details, I will try to get back to as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance!

- Aether accidentally created Mind and Matter.
Mind and Matter were unstable and flew to opposite ends of the universe, breaking into pieces as they went. These pieces would become the planes.- The last things created from Matter’s decomposing body were the elemental planes and Genthus. The last thing created from Mind’s decomposing body was the plane of Edomus.
- After their bodies were fully disintegrated, their essence billowed out into the planes created from their body. This essence was so strong in the last planes they created divine beings.
- From the elemental planes came the elemental lords. Surprisingly, Genthus was barren.This caused the elemental lords to fight over it.
- From the Edomus came the gods of happiness, sadness, anger, serenity. They too bickered but not to the extreme of the elemental lords.
- With the fighting of these gods and the clash of divine magic came lesser divine beings.
- Eventually Life and Death are created by Aether. All the Emotional and Elemental Lords battle, killing all gods.

- Setting is gonna be low magic to begin with then scale into high fantasy.
- Magic is created by something sort of like the weave. I think I’m gonna make it semi-sentient or at least living but I’m not sure yet. That’s why I don’t have a magic goddess.
- The gods will be multi purpose. For example, time will be fate, paths, luck along with time. I believe it will cut down on overlap.
- There will be a few races during the war of the gods. Drow, Duergar, Deep Gnomes, etc will be like proto-races for the current races in the above world. They were forced deep down into the ground to survive the last battle and may have a grudge against the gods, waiting to exact their revenge if they were ever to show up.
