The Pantheon (CPrH)

__TOC__
Once the DM has created the individual gods, he ought to relate them to one another # that is, establish how they feel about one another. This can affect how their mortal followers, especially priesthoods, feel about one another and work together.
These relationships don't have to be very detailed. It's quite sufficient to say that one god loves another, hates another, likes another, dislikes, respects, holds in contempt, whatever. Then, simply apply that sentiment to the priesthoods of the gods.
And when that sentiment is applied to mortals, it can turn out to be greater or less than the emotion actually felt by the gods in question.
For instance, let us say that two gods dislike one another. Their respective priests may dislike one another with similar intensity. On the other hand, they might not dislike one another at all. They might, in fact, recognize that their gods have certain foibles (human-like failings of personality), and might look upon those foibles with amusement and affection but without following them themselves.
However, these priesthoods instead might loathe one another. They could hate one another with an intensity which far surpasses that of the gods in question. They could, in fact, start wars on the earth because of their hatred for one another.
So, for many gods, the DM may wish to decide how the gods feel about one another, and then may choose a slightly different view of how their priests react to one another.
