## <time>2022-09-20</time> - Pantheon
A twelve sided die has 12 faces, 30 edges, and 20 verticies.
Let's start by creating a domain / portfolio / aspect for each face. These are gonna be our "Major Twelve" gods, the Olympians.
1. Law
2. Magic
3. Healing
4. Chaos
5. Life
6. Death
7. Plants
8. Dreams
9. Time
10. Sun
11. Animals
12. Moon
Second, each vertex will get a domain. These will become our "Minor Twenty" gods. Lesser gods, local gods, demigods.
A) Trickery
B) Metal
C) Fertility
D) Water
E) Change
F) Creation
G) Destruction
H) Fire
I) Madness
J) Storms
K) Courage
L) Wealth
M) Air
N) Earth
O) Weather
P) Wisdom
Q) Strength
R) Protection
S) Travel
T) Pain
Okay so each god, major and minor, gets their own domain, and then their neighbors. That's neighboring faces for points (four total), and neighboring points for faces (six total).
In order for any of that to make sense, you need to stare really hard at *Polyhedral Pantheon Design top* and *Polyhedral Pantheon Design bottom* at <http://www.kjd-imc.org/blog/polyhedral-pantheons-revisited/>
Major Gods Template:
| ID | PRIMARY DOMAIN | SECONDARY DOMAINS |
| ------ | ---------------- | ----------------- |
| 1 | Law | ABCDE |
| 2 | Magic | AEFNO |
| 3 | Healing | ABFGH |
| 4 | Chaos | BCHIJ |
| 5 | Life | CDJKL |
| 6 | Death | DELMO |
| 7 | Plants | QRGHI |
| 8 | Dreams | FGOPQ |
| 9 | Time | PTMNO |
| 10 | Sun | STKLM |
| 11 | Animals | RSIJK |
| 12 | Moon | PQRST |
Minor Gods Template:
| ID | PRIMARY DOMAIN | SECONDARY DOMAINS |
| ---- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| A | Trickery | 1,2,3 |
| B | Metal | 1,3,4 |
| C | Fertility | 1,4,5 |
| D | Water | 1,5,6 |
| E | Change | 1,2,6 |
| F | Creation | 2,3,8 |
| G | Destruction | 3,7,8 |
| H | Fire | 3,4,7 |
| I | Madness | 4,7,11 |
| J | Storms | 4,5,11 |
| K | Courage | 5,11,10 |
| L | Wealth | 5,6,10 |
| M | Air | 6,9,10 |
| N | Earth | 2,6,9 |
| O | Weather | 2,8,9 |
| P | Wisdom | 8,9,12 |
| Q | Strength | 7,8,12 |
| R | Protection | 7,11,12 |
| S | Travel | 10,11,12 |
| T | Pain | 9,10,12 |
Okay let's fill out the templates.
Note: I discovered at this point that it's best to shuffle your list of domains lest your domains be thematically clumped. For example, when brainstroming, I wrote out all my elemental domains at once. This resulted in a god of fire, water, earth, and water. So spread your domains out thematically if you're doing this.
By the way, every god is merely an aspect of the god-above-all-gods, PATRICK.
The major gods:
| ID | Name | PRIMARY DOMAIN | SECONDARY DOMAINS |
| --- | ---- | -------------- | ------------------- |
| 1 | Unutrik | Law | Trickery, Metal, Fertility, Water, Change |
| 2 | Dutrik | Magic | Trickery, Change, Creation, Earth, Weather |
| 3 | Tritrik | Healing | Trickery, Metal, Creation, Destruction, Fire |
| 4 | Kvartrik | Chaos | Metal, Fertility, Fire, Madness, Storms |
| 5 | Kvintrik | Life | Fertility, Water, Storms, Courage, Wealth |
| 6 | Sestrik | Death | Water, Change, Wealth, Air, Weather |
| 7 | Septrik | Plants | Strength, Protection, Destruction, Fire, Madness |
| 8 | Oktrik | Dreams | Creation, Destruction, Weather, Wisdom, Strength |
| 9 | Nautrik | Time | Wisdom, Pain, Air, Earth, Weather |
| 10 | Dektrik | Sun | Travel, Pain, Courage, Wealth, Air |
| 11 | Eltrik | Animals | Protection, Travel, Madness, Storms, Courage |
| 12 | Dotrik | Moon | Wisdom, Strength, Protection, Travel, Pain |
AND the minor gods:
| ID | NAME | PRIMARY DOMAIN | SECONDARY DOMAINS |
| ---- | ---- | ---------------- | ------------------- |
| A | Aatrik | Trickery | Law, Magic, Healing |
| B | Batrik | Metal | Law, Healing, Chaos |
| C | Catrik | Fertility | Law, Chaos, Life |
| D | Datrik | Water | Law, Life, Death |
| E | Eatrik | Change | Law, Magic, Death |
| F | Fatrik | Creation | Magic, Healing, Dreams |
| G | Gatrik | Destruction | Healing, Plants, Dreams |
| H | Hatrik | Fire | Healing, Chaos, Plants |
| I | Iatrik | Madness | Chaos, Plants, Animals |
| J | Jatrik | Storms | Chaos, Life, Animals |
| K | Katrik | Courage | Life, Animals, Sun |
| L | Latrik | Wealth | Life, Death, Sun |
| M | Matrik | Air | Death, Time, Sun |
| N | Natrik | Earth | Magic, Death, Time |
| O | Oatrik | Weather | Magic, Dreams, Time |
| P | Patrik | Wisdom | Dreams, Time, Moon |
| Q | Qatrik | Strength | Plants, Dreams, Moon |
| R | Ratrik | Protection | Plants, Animals, Moon |
| S | Satrik | Travel | Sun, Animals, Moon |
| T | Tatrik | Pain | Time, Sun, Moon |
So now I have d20 minor gods, and d12 major gods. Neat!
A lot of things here *just work* when you look at them. The god of madness and chaos? The god of life and fertility? Others are interesting. The god of Law and Trickery? The god of Healing and Destruction? Nautrik is the god of Time and Wisdom, but also of Time and Pain.
I imagine none of these gods will use actual names, but will instead remain rather loosely conceptual, going by an epithet when it is neccessary to refer to them.
I also admit that this is all a little bit over the top. Do I really need 32 gods in my little make believe game? No, I do not. But now I can have some readymade, weird, jumbled portfolios that I can draw on when I want to, all of which are random and jumbled enough that they ought to be quite interesting.
