The problem is coming up with a domain that isn't purity since the Lady of the Lake already has a pretty strong claim on it.
"Reclaimation", or maybe even better "Civilization Building". Chaos? Not good for civilization, so it had to go. Corruption, lawlessness, Beastmen, goblins, undead hordes and orcs? Same thing. In the way, had to go. On the other hand: Arts, crafts, rule of law, magical arts, art of war, all the sciences? She's a patron to them all. Not neccessarily the one who does it (even if she often does inspire the masters with great works), but always the one who supports them, protects them and helps them flourish.

To the dwarves it would probably lead to the realization that while Mordred isn't a goddess of making swords and armors - she's one that makes Culture and Proper Civilization. Not quite "smith" (that's their thing), but adjacent, a decent plan, and the humans really needed it.

"Progress" might work too.

Can't be progress as sigmar is already the warhammer god of progress and civilisation.
Though technically there are areas where domains interlope such as myrmidia being a goddess of war (specifically tactics and strategies) and lyric being a god of war (specifically the savagery of war). Since moredred has fate magic she has a domain in magic free from any influence of tzeench as well as being free of having her fate seen so magic would be a domain she'd do well in even if she is stealing at least part of a domain of a chaos god, best part is in mordreds case tzeench won't see it coming due to her abilities.
As for a divine domain in civilisation maybe the protector of civilisation, March of civilisation/progress, maybe culture. I'm not sure but since sigmar and various other gods have domains in it it's probably best to either avoid it and confusion later in the story or to be much more defined/specific with it.

On a side note that he story has mordred learning a magic eating spell from studying Bob the unicorn, will she learn other skills like this such as learning how to create a far batter regeneration spell from studying how trolls do it or magic resistance from dwarves and stone trolls.

One thing I have on my mind would Magic be one of Mordred's domains given she has gone out of her way create all of these new spells as well as her founding of the collage and being seen as a witch by the Empire. From what I understand there is no God of magic in the old world outside of Kislev and Bretonnia.
 
Tor, Kislev god of thunder

Toar - God of Lightning

I feel like one of the two above was a rip off of the other one, very similar domains and names. Either way, Thunder is merely the sound of lightning and not actually lightning and Toar is pretty minor in comparison to Mordred despite her being a baby goddess.

Stromfels God of Storms, Sharks and every other danger in the sea.

I suppose this guy counts but he is more an "at sea" god while Mordred is pretty at home on dry land. It wouldn't be too hard for them to "share" since Mordred has no connection to storms outside of lightning and has no real domain over the seas.


This is a good one, Cleansing can used to describe what she does to everything she meets on the battlefield and despite the slight genocidal vibes it gives me, it works just fine for as an anti Chaos domain.

On a side note that he story has mordred learning a magic eating spell from studying Bob the unicorn, will she learn other skills like this such as learning how to create a far batter regeneration spell from studying how trolls do it or magic resistance from dwarves and stone trolls.

It's less that she studied how Bob eats magic and more that she realized it was possible and looked for ways to make it reality. Keep in mind, she is mostly theory crafting at the moment and there will be some trial and error involved to get everything working just right.

From what I understand there is no God of magic in the old world outside of Kislev and Bretonnia.

*Cough* Tzeentch *Cough* Ahem, yeah, as far as I know, in canon only the Ancient Widow and The Lady of The Lake have much ties to Magic at all but both are a specialized kind that only females are taught. Does make me wonder why both goddesses would specifically only let women learn magic but that's probably just a GW thing trying to use good looking women to lure in horny nerds like every other game company.
 
>Mordred - God of Dragons

That would be hilarious :lol:
She will have to at least learn to shapeshift into one to be a God of Dragons, her dragon core shouldn't be enough for that title but it seems to me that Mordred isn't heading in that direction anytime soon. Magic, Curse, Lightning, and maybe Order/Purity/Cleansing should be one of her titles, I think.
The curse side hasn't been explored by her all that much but it is still an innate trait of hers, unless I missed something monumental, and with that godly upgrade it will also receive a substantial boost.

Eh, She hasn't actually cursed anyone and the only time she made use of her curse affinity in warhammer is in removing them from other people and objects. No one but her actually knows she has an affinity with curses in warhammer so it won't be added to her godly domain. Which means besides the general power up that being a goddess would give her, her affinity with curses doesn't get any kind of power up.

If just having a dragon's tooth as your house crest can turn you into a dragon girl (I'm looking at you Elizabeth Bathory) then being known as part dragon, having a dragon core, slaughtering a dragon yourself, and just in general being powerful, that should be enough for someone be God of Dragons.

Magic, Curse, Lightning, and maybe Order/Purity/Cleansing should be one of her titles, I think.

Magic is a no duh, and so is dragon since I already said that I was doing that. Lightning was revealed with the latest chapter and anything else is a maybe. I don't want to over bloat Mordred with 50+ domains despite her technically being able to claim a large number of them.. Most warhammer gods I've seen have 3 or so main things that they do so I'm going to try and keep it around that level.
 
Maybe something made out of steel would work as long as it was covered in enough padding?
We could ask burn some favors with it by asking the Dawi to create one.
who couldn't see Mount Tai
Capitalize please, so people who dont know about the reference will look it up.
I would line the entire bow so it would shoot arrows made out of magic.
Will it have the same powerbase system as the Epirus Bow from Immortals?
I still felt the urge to stretch out my back every once and a while.
One of the rrmaining pleasures we subconsciously do.
There were also the dwarfs with several runesmiths and the kings of Barak Varr and Karak Drazh in attendance.
Ah good, we have a solid mountain of antimagic and always vigilant Dawi in the crowd incase Murphy act up and release Belakor while we are crowned, oh and is the crown enhanced to make the wearer more of sound mind and less weary?
I was becoming a goddess.
Mundus has a very strick rule of letting a divine being walk physically in the materiwl plane, in the ancient days where the Anxestor Gods walk for 3 Ages and dissapear on the 4tg and Sigmar as well lasted only for 30 Yrs tops. And also, i hope tou remain whole and felxible when you became a Goddess, and remain whole in soul, being stuck as directed by the script of yoy being a Divine being sucks as well as carrying a dicine essence that id a bastsrdize form of you.

Well, I had never even heard of Immortals before now so probably not. I was actually thinking of Genshin Impact Bows when writing that.

Okay, I went and did so.

Why do so when Mordred has smiths and craftsmen taught by dwarfs who could do a fine job?

I had always figured that the Ancestor Gods leaving was because of the vortex sucking out the magical energy. Warhammer gods being a lot like Daemons in that they were mostly made out of magical energy and when they made the giant sink drain, it removed the energy they needed to stay manifested in the world. Doesn't it strike you as odd that no one seems to know who the parents of the dwarf gods are? They are all about the worship of their ancestors, why wouldn't they also acknowledge the parents of their gods? In my mind it was because they quite literally popped into existence and were the literal answers to the prayers for anyone to just help them and guide them out of their dark times.

The humans way back when, in the area of Nehekhara would later be, had writings about how the gods walked among them and protected them from the daemon hordes much like the dwarfs were guided out of their dark history into a united people. I put down Sigmar leaving as the writer wanting to have Sigmar have a epic comeback later down the road, becoming much like King Arthur is supposed to be just waiting to pop up to save the british in their darkest hour.

The elves didn't have gods walk among them because how of they view their own gods, as part of the world and themselves. So they never got around to manifesting like the other gods and instead empowered elves directly.

And also, i hope tou remain whole and felxible when you became a Goddess, and remain whole in soul, being stuck as directed by the script of yoy being a Divine being sucks as well as carrying a dicine essence that id a bastsrdize form of you.
I'm sorry, this part got garbled a little too much for me to quite understand. Please clarify?



Oh, and as I was looking things up, I found out that the elves have not one, but two gods of magic. Makes little wonder that they are the second most magical race what with them having 2 gods of magic.
 
Out of curiosity with mordred having built a realm on equality and already having population of halflings, dwarves and humans will other races start showing up in her domain under her protection such as gnomes, ogres, giants and werekin (such as werewolves and werebears).

Giants are common the world over; although usually found in highlands and striding the sides of mountains, in the Badlands many Giants have been seen wandering the foothills of the Dragonbacks. Although no one is entirely sure why there is such a dense Giant population in the area, rumours of a...
Giants I can see her having meeting with soon as her realm is right next to one of the densest giant populations in the warhammer world and unlike orcs who love war and battle above all else (and are basically a parasitic fungus). mordred will be aware of the giants origins as the sky Titans and that the fight with orc waaaaghs for the promise of food (in lore giants are also hired by mercenaries for the same promise). Giants would certainly help with building all the fortresses and walls mordred intends to create and hiring them would take away one of the main advantages of the orcs of the badlands.

Werecretures I can see all three main types popping up in mordreds realm at some point. The children of ulric or natural were creatures seeking protection from the empire's witch hunters, the were creatures created from curses seeking a cure and allowing mordred to expand her magic knowledge and chaos were creatures from the chaos gods trying to infiltrate mordreds realm another way not realing mordred can use her powers to tell all the different breeds apart.

Zoats I can see mordred meeting at some point due to all the wild forests in her domain and barring the mountain range in the way how close she actually is to Athel Loren, while they don't seem the type to join any type of nation I can see mordred increasing her magic abilities especially in the jade wind (life) from Thier teachings.

Doppelgängers while they don't come off as outright chaos worshipping like the fimir or beast men would obviously be considered enemies by mordred, I can see her getting informed about corruption among her nobles that she previously thought were okay and finding out they were replaced with doppelgängers, really it's the subtle enemies that bring mordred down not the stupidly aggressive ones like orcs. The fimir on the other hand I doubt they'll make an appearance in the story for a while if at all as they aren't located in the area of the world mordred's in preferring swamps to Savannah but if mordred ever goes to Albion I can see her taking particular dislike to this species.

On a side note the next dwarf stronghold mordred reclaims/orc fortress she destroys I recommend Ekrund since it's far smaller that Karak eight peaks that the dwarves can't reclaim due to being busy with karak drazh. Ekrund known to green skins as mount blood horn would be easy to reinforce with troops from either Barak vaar or her own newly created fleet far more so than any other dwarf stronghold that her armies could only reach by marching through mountains. This dwarf hold fell more due to not having its defences ready in time than anything else and taking it would make the land route from Araby to drachenreich much safer as it passes right next to the hold improving trade in her nation. Going to retake this hold could also be where she contacts the giants as this is where the giant stomping grounds are located.
 
I'm sorry, this part got garbled a little too much for me to quite understand. Please clarify?
A bit like how in 40k people are worried that if the Emperor becomes a god he wouldn't act according to his human self, but would act according to how his worshippers believe he would act ( e.g. his mental state would be affected by his worshipper's belief ), with the worst case scenario being him becoming a chaos god.

In Warhammer Fantasy and other settings like DnD, one of the worst case theories on deities believes that faith is inherently mentally poisonous and becoming a deity would mentally change a human's mind to act in accordance with their Domains and worshipper's beliefs while leaving behind the goals of their mortal lifetime. While there may be some truth to this, I personally feel it's a bit overblown and exaggerated.
 
I liked most of the chapter but I think you could cut out the majority of your description of the swords unless the underlying mechanics of them will actually be a larger part of the story going forward. If they aren't then most of that scene comes of as bloat to be skipped through.
 
So, what are the Runes on Mordred's Crown? I imagine that it has the Master Rune of Kingship but what are the other two?

I don't believe I ever mentioned there was runes on the crown though... Let me just flat out say there are no runes on the crown, it just a really nice crown custom made for Mordred. The runesmiths are there to see if they can bribe her for more dragon parts and give respect to a great ally of the Karaz Ankor. Also to scope out what she wants runic item wise since there was not nearly enough time to make something for her besides the really nice but utterly mundane crown.

Yeah even i cant read that, the point is, due to her being worship, she would develop a divine image/personification/essence that is her, but not her, kinda like a split personality, and by this occuring, it maybe born from her soul and has pieces of her soul in it, so she is not whole anymore but fractured, and worse of all, it may go rough qnd attack her...maybe, it is confusing to me as well, but did i deliver it well?

I think I understand now, basically, you are concerned about evil clones of Mordred popping up, me randomly breaking her soul just to nerf her or some other similar bullshit like this is a comic book. But no, I hadn't even considered something like that happening. Usually something like that causes me to drop a story altogether and never return so its not something I'm interested in having in my own work.

It's not exactly evil clones I think but more of 'will prayer warp who Mordred is?'. I've seen that theme common enough in ascension/godhood scenarios that rely on faith. It's when the people praying towards a god think the god should be acting a certain way, and the power of that faith/prayer etc actually makes that god act that way. So for example, if enough worshippers see/worship Mordred as a God of Vengeance and Evil, Mordred would really become more vengeful and evil.

It's probably a bad idea to be typing this at 4:50 AM when I need to wake up at 9AM but I'm pretty good at making bad decisions.

Anyways, This might happen to a typical young warhammer god who is still getting fleshed out in personalty, basically going through their version of childhood as they solidify into adulthood but Mordred is an actual person that is around 40-50 years old, her personality is pretty set at this point. If someone tried to turn Mordred into a god of vengeance and evil, even when she first arrived, they would have failed to do more than add a couple domains to her profile, if that.

TL;DR: Mordred's personality won't be effected by other people's beliefs that she may or may not be evil or vice versa.

The land Mordred rules has Cattle & Sheep.

Will she direct things to develop certain foods?

Burgers & Sandwiches?

I just pictured the burger place from Worm as inspiration.

No more noble a goal have I ever seen then bringing burgers and sandwiches to the people!

If there was going to be one food Mordred brought to warhammer, it would be pizza. I've made pizza dough from scratch several times so Mordred definitely knows how even if it would take Mordred some time to find the ingredients, I could definitely make pizza. Though, making a cheeseburger might happen every once and a while but you've got to grind the meat up pretty well to get a decent patty, otherwise it is just a beef sandwich, which while not bad, it very much isn't a cheeseburger.
