These emotions have societies centred around them. The Angerists are power orientated, chaotic reactionaries against what they percieve a cultural repression from the Reasonists.

Anyhow this is an example. Don't go using this because it's my idea, and now that I've thought of it, may put it into a book
Unless of course you can live with plagiarism.

Anyhow that's what I mean. Think outside what the usual setup is.

Hm! I see some of those every day right here on the forum!

Why not a single god with many faces or heads? A different personilty for each but with so kind of comman name in front, like once Omis Mati the god of nature and Omis Shinta the Goddess of war. So each face deals with a diffent thing.
ie life(death and birth maybe health too)
The arts (Forging,Writting, muisc, painting etc, but also of magic the mystic art.
War (speaks for it self)
Order (Justice and peace)
Nature (weather, plants, farming the seasons etc.)
Travel (Sea faring, roads etc.)
But they are one being and one religion but each has it own sects....I so hope this is make some sense.
OR even dismiss the Ideal of gods and have nature sprits instead, so people pray to the sprits of harvest, roads etc. Plus no need to name them.
