I’m running a new d&d campaign, this is the King of the Gods, Esthre. His domain is Isolation, Darkness, and Decay. He was made from the ashes of the hearth in the Throne of the Gods after Hester, the previous ruler and Hearth deity, was killed. He was put into power by Antipothe, who thought he suited the role. Then, he shunted out the rest of the deities, boarding up the Throne of the Gods. Since then, the chapel has been in decay. He waits in paranoid fear for the deities that created him grow bored and break down the doors to kill him. The Hearth reminds him that Hester is also waiting to regain his strength and reclaim his throne. His alignment is Chaotic Neutral and he is best represented by The Hermit. I should note, these deities are all human. There was a planet very much like ours, until the humans brought themselves to near-extinction. Now all that is left are these deities, and they watch the high fantasy hellscape that has resulted. [id: a de-saturated gif of a man sitting on a throne. Flashes of white eyes pulse, growing to cover the image. The man is curled in on himself, his bare feet failing to touch the floor. He wears tight black pants and a long sleeve black shirt. He has medium-length white hair. Only one of his eyes is visible, and it glows an icy blue. The throne is simple and wooden, with a flower pattern on the back. It has a red seat and is supported by a wooden ring on the floor. To the front right of the chair is a tall bronze brazier with barely smoldering coals. The background a appears to be a dark, barely visible church in a state of extreme decay. There are planks on the floor and the wall seems to be extremely dirty. There is a simple round black border around the whole image, which is scaled like a tarot card. In grey font at the top of the image is “The Hermit”. End id]
