Updating the Norse Pantheon

Samhaim · Post by **Samhaim** » Mon Dec 10, 2007 3:51 am

I will over the course of the next few weeks be updating all the Aesir deities worshiped around Ysgard/Hala. I will be primarily be using the Deities and Demigods book for my information except in the following case:

Any well defined existing Deity who has already been used a great deal by dms/players or has already had specific information posted by a pc who worships or is in the clergy of said deity, will remain untouched. I would like everyone to take this oppertunity to let me know if their character worships one of the Aesir, and would like the information previously posted to remain unchanged. On another note, if anyone would like me to work on one deity before another (because they wish to know about one or perhaps wish to have a pc that worships one) also let me know so I can work on those first.

Any Wiki posting that was made by someone other then me will be left alone for a long grace period so that people have an oppertunity to let me know they wish it to remain unupdated. If the deity is already well rounded out on the wiki, I will in all likely hood never touch it.

Please note that this change is only for the Aesir (The Norse pantheon). If anyone would like me to post the information on another deity from the book, let me know and i'll put it on my already very full plate to do.

Thanks!

Here is where you can find the new updated pantheon. New updates are being posted weekly, so if something seems slightly unfinished, give it some time.

Um, wow. Thanks, Mr. Haim! You're putting a lot of time and effort into making Hala better (both in-game and out), and it's not going unnoticed.

Having not used a wiki before, can someone point me at a tutorial on how to create a new page and add it to a wiki? I would like to add to the deities Grovel's chosen god Wolfstag -Demigod of corn.

Sure he isnt a 'real' god, but he is god enough for Grovel

I'm sure there's a better way to do this, but here's how I would do it, since I don't know much about wikis:

0) Make yourself a user account on the wiki and log in (That's on the upper right hand corner of the wiki.)

1) Find a deity page you like the template of and hit the 'edit' tab at the top.

2) Copy and paste that into something that isn't Word. (Word will probably try to helpfully autoformat it for you and screw it up.) Edit the document until it has your god's information.

3) Go to: http://wiki.ysgard.org/index.php?title=Wolfstag
This will give you the option of making a new page since it doesn't exist yet- click the link "edit this page."

4) Put in your edited code and preview until it looks like what you want. Then save the page. (Keep the category: deities thingy at the bottom untouched, by the way.)

Notes:
[[stuffinhere]] will create a link that says 'stuffinhere' and goes to the wiki page "stuffinhere".

[[muffins | Blueberry Muffins]] will create a link that says "Blueberry Muffins" and goes to the wiki page "muffins".
