awesome. Jessie Send a noteboard - 25/04/2010 01:41:59 AM

Who are your favourite gods/deities in fiction... and why? What do you like about them?

My favourite remains the Valar written by Tolkein. I especially loved all their history and lore in the Silmarillion, as well as their different abilities, personalities and exploits against Morgoth. I also like how he wrote about the various Maia and what they all got up to.

What about you?


All from Erikson: Mael, Cotillion, Shadowthrone

Lightsong the Bold from Warbreaker as also awesome.

I'm definitely a fan of the Valar. Partial to the Dragonlance pantheon, too. lord-of-shadow - 19/04/2010 08:05:02 AM 1228 Views

I'm afraid I have to take issue with you grouping the Endless among the gods. Tim - 19/04/2010 08:20:55 PM 1119 Views
If it helps, I like Ishtar too. Legolas - 19/04/2010 08:40:14 PM 1133 Views
