Dead gods writeup

After taking a peek around this website, I found a writeup for the dead power Aoskar that defines him thusly:

Aoskar (The Eternity Guide, The Lord of Portals, The Master of Infinite Expanse) Greater God of The Outlands

Portfolio: Belief Shaping, Enlightenment, Sigil, Planar Travel, Portals, The Rule of Three Alignment: Chaotic Good Domain Name: Sigil Worshipers: Planar Travellers, Magic Users, Sigilites Domains: Chaos, Knowledge, Protection, Travel, Trickery Symbol: A doughnut like circle. Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff

All fine and dandy, except I did not get the impression that Aoskar was a Knowledge-type of deity per say. That, and I found a Domain that might suit him much better. Who else remembers the Portal Domain from the Forgotten Realms setting?

So, maybe this would be appropriate...?

Aoskar (The Eternity Guide, The Lord of Portals, The Master of Infinite Expanse) Greater God of The Outlands

Portfolio: Belief Shaping, Enlightenment, Sigil, Planar Travel, Portals, The Rule of Three Alignment: Chaotic Good Domain Name: Sigil Worshipers: Planar Travellers, Magic Users, Sigilites Domains: Chaos, Portal, Protection, Travel, Trickery Symbol: A doughnut like circle. Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff

With that out of the way: is there any more information about Tomeri, the goddess of wisdom and love mentioned in the Planescape adventure Dead Gods? The article in the site's archives is barely a stub, and I have yet to find any other site that gives more info than the bare essentials of her portfolio and the name of her killer.

I'm pretty sure Aoskar was just a god of portals and planar travel. So his portfolio is way too wide (enlightenment? really?). And if he has the chaos domain he should also have the good domain.

Not that these are your fault, just making my thoughts on this writeup known.

Then perhaps we could remove Chaos and reinstate Knowledge, since he was pretty big on travelers and I only just realized he'd be knowledgeable on the many roads they could travel on the planes. *cough*

that, and knowledge of magical portals could give him the Magic domain to Eye-wink
*cough*

As for Tomeri, I'm pretty sure that mention in Dead Gods is literally the only time she's appeared in any publication; she was invented purely for that scene. So you're free to come up with whatever you want for her.

How about the Charm, Good, Insight and Passion domains for Tomeri?

Re: Dead gods writeup

I'd go for this for Aoskar, please bare in mind this isn't based on canon, just how I ended up interperating him as over the years.

Aoskar (The Eternity Guide, The Protector of Portals, The Master of Infinite Expanse, The Uncrowned King, The Traveler) Greater God of The Outlands

Portfolio: Portals, Sigil*, Planar Travel, Travel in General, Understanting the Basic Laws of the Multiverse (Rule of Three, Unity of Rings), Philosophy (Factions, Sects), Personal Journeys (can be enlightenment, but also coming of age and other journeys)

Alignment: Chaotic Neautral (he is good to his friends, allies and those he just likes the look of, but he is not heroic)

Domain Name: Sigil

Worshipers: Planar Travellers, Magic Users, Sigilites

Domains: Portal, Travel, Knowledge, Magic, Trickery (he is not defined by chaos, and I took away Protection because he isn't a god that believes in moddy coddling his worshipers)

Symbol: A doughnut like circle. His in circle (pun) might have other symbols, like a ornate mirror or a coin with a hole punched into the center.

Favored Weapon: Quarterstaff

*He took a liking to Sigil, it was not his divine right to control it
