Looking for some feedback on this idea. Will be used for a campaign I’m currently working up, still in it’s infancy…
Mercenary Company Campaign

The Pantheon:
The pantheon is broken into three Houses with four Deities in each house. The Deities of each house go by multiple names, domains and aspects depending on which nation, race, or culture is calling upon them. Each house is also served, sometimes unwillingly, by mortals that are chosen as that house’s ‘Soldiers’ on the true realm.
House of Chaos
King: Bane, Kaos, Asmodeus, Hextor, Gruumsh, etc…
Queen: Lolth, Tiamat, Hel, etc…
Assassin: Rope, Death, Myrkul, Hades, etc…
Priest: Shar, Talos, etc…
Soldier of Chaos: Chosen mortals
House of Law
King: Bahamut, Torm, Odin, Corellon Larethian, Moradin, etc…
Queen: Sune, Frigga, etc…
Knight: Tempus, Thor, etc…
Priest: Selûne, etc…
Soldier of Law: Chosen mortals
House of Neutrality
King: Celestian, Oghma,
Queen: Akadi,
Champion: Kossuth,
Magi: Boccob, Gond,
Soldier of Neutrality: Chosen mortals
Looks awesome. Remains me of the Malazan Book of the Fallen.
Exactly the inspiration the campaign is being built from… Erikson’s “The Malazan Book of the Fallen”, Cook’s “The Black Company” series and some influence from Martin’s “Song of Ice and Fire” series.
Those are basically three of my all-time favorite book series. Just add in some R. Scott Bakker!
