Gameplay: Religion - Deities

Open Game Content provides rules actions that may be affected by the character's Religion, but it does not provide rules for determining the character's Religion, or Deities within Open Game Content. For this reason, it is necessary to refer to a published document other than the System Reference Document to roleplay certain Religions and Deities within The Lovecraftian Traveller. It is recommended that the Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook be purchased for an in-depth discussion of Religion and Deities. Although any Open Game Content compatible core rulebook can be used (with GM approval), the methods used in the Player's Handbook are considered appropriate for use with this game.

Deities from the Player's Handbook which are likely to be used in The Lovecraftian Traveller include: Corellon Larethian.

There are, however, a variety of additional Deities for use in The Lovecraftian Traveller. These Deities are considered available under the House Rules, and described below.

HOUSE RULES: DEITIES
Kihawahine (Lawful good); Air, Good, Destruction, Protection, Water

Kihawahine
Kihawahine is a goddess and god of islands, fresh water, volcanoes, and the wind. She may be considered neutral good, and has several common titles: Kihawahine of the Mo'o, Bokrug the Great, Moko of the Mud Throne, Meuler Who Controls the Winds, and Tarrotarro Who Separates the Sexes. Kihawahine protects those who have their land taken from them, and watches over those who value reciprocal love, sharing and hospitality. For these reasons, she was once the only god worshiped by the Ib. She now has a idol in the high temple at Ilarnek, and is worshiped beneath the gibbous moon throughout the land of Mnar. She is sometimes pictured as a great water-lizard, and is unusually close to mortals for one of the old gods and beings of Th. Despite her fondness for mortals, if harm is done to those she protects, her retribution is severe, her destruction complete. She governs the domains of Air, Good, Destruction, Protection, and Water.
