Which are...?Viconia worships Shar. She isn't virtuous. Lmao FFS Shar is one of the most evil human gods in D&D.
God's are not 'forced' to live anywhere. They make their own homes where they damn well want but of course you aren't going to see a good God make their base in the Abyss for obvious fukkin reasons. (snip...)
This is the first book that detailed the entire thing. It's AD&D 1E Manual of the Planes and covers all of the planes in D&D.
Thanks, but just to make my point clear, is there a reason why a lawful good god of crusades can't have a realm in the middle of the abyss? Volourn says gods can make their realms wherever they intend, but at least since 2nd edition, I don't think this is necessarily true. If I am not mistaken, outsiders are made from the very stuff of the planes they are born into, so such god would lack the ability to create new servants if his home was in the abyss. Since he would be surrounded by inimical deities, there would be a real danger of the god being murdered, and I think the rules for outsiders dying might apply to them as well, which would mean that their essence would be destroyed (whatever that means). In D&D, gods are powerful, but they are never all powerful; and while I might be wrong (which is why I asked Volourn to expound on what he means) no individual god is actually stronger than the planes themselves. They might sometimes escape by living in a plane which is adjacent to their alignment, or in the inner planes rather than the outer ones, but at the end of the day they still aren't greater than the whole alignment stuff.
