Nicely done. Gives more flexibility and 'wiggle room' than the ususal 'Them vs Us' bi-polar pantheons.
Consider it stolen, er.... Referenced. ;)

Thanks.

It's good. The Shining One is the "Prince of Light" concept from Zoroastrianism. The heresy has a Gnostic vibe going on, I like the hook - sort of like the fights in the 1st & 2nd centuries between Arianism and Gnosticism in Northern and Western Europe. :ugeek:

The He-who-waits is the classic anti-god, nothing outre there :twisted:

But tying the Green Mother to the mother goddess and to the Sophia idea (via the heresy) is pretty cool :mrgreen:

Very workable. Nice job.

I like it, Go0gle! I'm doing something very similar to this for the reboot of my homebrew. I've lableled mine a dualism, but it can considered trinity of sorts as well. The nature aspect of my earth/balance/nature deity isn't really personified, rather than a "force" that is the embodiment of nature. Other than that, there are a lot of similarities.

At first I thought I might be missing out on the intricacies of a polythestic pantheon. But then I considered saints, demons, devils, cults, sects, and schisms (just to name some) and thought that there would be plenty of opportunity for a healthy religious landscape for my game. Good luck, and I hope it works well!
