Favourite deities in fiction Sidious Send a noteboard - 19/04/2010 06:51:19 AM

Who are your favourite gods/deities in fiction... and why? What do you like about them?

My favourite remains the Valar written by Tolkein. I especially loved all their history and lore in the Silmarillion, as well as their different abilities, personalities and exploits against Morgoth. I also like how he wrote about the various Maia and what they all got up to.

What about you?

I'm definitely a fan of the Valar. Partial to the Dragonlance pantheon, too. lord-of-shadow - 19/04/2010 08:05:02 AM 1495 Views

I'm afraid I have to take issue with you grouping the Endless among the gods. Tim - 19/04/2010 08:20:55 PM 1332 Views
If it helps, I like Ishtar too. Legolas - 19/04/2010 08:40:14 PM 1393 Views

Meh. They're gods in the ordinary, non-Sandman sense of gods. Ghavrel - 20/04/2010 09:39:58 PM 1052 Views
