Proposal: In the beginning

Passed 5-0, reaches quorum. Enacted by Angry Grasshopper.

Create three new GNDT fields, “Deity”, “Pantheon”, and “Quintessence”. 

Set the Quintessence of each Deity except the Archon to zero.

Add a rule titled “Quintessence”:

Each Deity may often increase eir Quintessence by one point.


Create a new Wiki page called “Deity Wiki” and put a link to it in the sidebar.

Add a new rule titled “Deities”:

Each Deity may often change the “Deity” and “Pantheon” entry simultaneously by setting eir Quintessence to zero. When a Deity elects to make such a change, e shall set the “Deity” field to the name of any historical, fictional, or imaginary deity and shall set the “Pantheon” field to the name of the pantheon to which that deity belongs. 

This action shall be referred to as “changing roles”.

The Archon may change roles without setting eir Quintessence to zero.

If a Deity changes roles to a god or goddess, (divine being, etc.,) which is not listed in the Deity Wiki, then the name and pantheon of that divinity shall be added to the Deity Wiki.

No Deity may change roles to become a god, goddess, (divine being, etc.,) which is currently listed in the “Deity” field in the GNDT for some other active Deity.


In the mists before THE BEGINNING, Fate and Chance cast lots to decide whose the Game should be; and he that won strode through the mists to MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI and said: “Now make gods for Me, for I have won the cast and the Game is to be Mine.” Who it was that won the cast, and whether it was Fate or whether Chance that went through the mists before THE BEGINNING to MANA-YOOD-SUSHAI—none knoweth.

Though ‘fictional’ opens things up quite a bit.
