In looking for a deity for my wood-elf bone shaman, I find myself in difficulty for finding a sensible deity for the character amongst the pantheons. Stripped of semantics and flavor, my character is pretty much an animal necromancer, who uses bones of animals for various spells and summons. Ranger/Shaman at the moment. And the act of necromancy was defined by staff members as inherently evil, so I need an evil alignment. No problem. Lawful Evil has plenty of room to work in.
However, none of the deities seem to fit very well into this nature/undead niche. I originally went for the ancient deity of decay and rot, but that deity is essentially the shadow-god in Stranger Things and is a bit too hardcore for a wise shaman to worship.
Silvanis is totally neutral and handles both life and death, growth and decay, which seems promising- as my character could be a shaman of the decay aspect of Silvanis- but the game will not allow me to select him as a god since my character is LE.
Lacking options, I went with Kelaemvor- but he's an ex-human, which seems an odd thing for a wood elf to worship.
Perhaps I should consider Malar, the beastlord? He doesn't seem too worried about undeath- only the thrill of the hunt.
