I’m looking to create a setting where there are six elements, Light, Void, Earth, Fire, Water, and Air. Each element has a god that embodies their element, as well as having other domains in their portfolios, with no element being “good” or “evil”. For instance Light has dominion over Creation and Chaos, Void has Destruction and Order as domains, one of Fire’s domains is War, etc. I’m trying to brainstorm ideas for other domains for each god, what would you suggest? Someone in the last thread suggested Protection & Humility for Earth, War & Love for Fire, Inspiration & Fertility for Water, and Life & Trickery for Air, though I wasn’t thinking of limiting each god to just two non-elemental domains, and I’m unsure of giving any one god “Life” as a domain, the last thread died before the person I was talking to replied back after my last post, do you have any more suggestions please?

As for the angels, the idea is that elementals were accidents, made from shed bits of power when the gods made the world. The gods then refined the process to make angels, which further inspired them to create mortals. So each god/element has their own variety of angels, and I’m looking for ideas on things to give each one. Halos and wings that showcase their element of course, like wings and halos of flame for Fire angels, halos that look like black holes for Void angels, etc., if you have any ideas that would work well, please let me know. Demons would be elemental as well, but they’re not as developed yet.

The different races were made by the gods all combining their powers, with each race having two or three dominant elements in their makeup, so they primarily worship the gods that had the heaviest hand in their creations over the others.

I was thinking that the relationship between the gods would be neutral leaning towards positive. The Light and Void gods tend to work on a more metaphysical level, the former constantly creating like a stream of consciousness writer, the Void god acting like an editor refining their creations and destroying that which would harm the world (monsters being creatures that slipped through the cracks). They formed first and act in a semi-parental way to the other gods, though technically they're all considered equals.

While the gods care about their followers to a degree, and will grant some prayers within reason, they're still their element, so the Fire god might burn down a forest not out of malice, but because that's what flame DOES, etc. Revering the gods is seen in part as a way to try and keep them happy and prevent any scuffles from going too far. They mainly communicate via their priests, but sometimes they create avatars to do certain tasks. If a person lived a good life, they go to the afterlife of the god they're most aligned with (they can choose between the options if there's a tie). What do you think?
