Suggestions for the name of a small group of gods

[Lord Mhoram]

I am putting my campaign world together, and find myself not coming up with something I like for a collective name for the gods. A little odd cosmology.

Originally 13 gods. Classic petty Greek gods kind of thing (although all gods are good aligned). Then 1 god went evil, joined forces with demons and devils and there was a war of the powers. Almost destroyed the world. Aftword the gods grew up a little bit, took a step back and weren't so involved in the world (directly). Before any major decisions they must come to agreement. The world as it will be played is long after that event.

There are no evil gods. Just good and nuetral. Anyone worshipping an evil "diety" is actually worshipping a demon or devil. The Good vs Evil is a big deal in this cosmology.


I thought of "The Unity", and "Parliment of god" usually called Parilment by people on the world; but neitehr of those really spark my interested / sound really nice.

So I turn to the creative forces of the boards - any suggestions on what to call them.

How about the Concordance? That focuses the agreement part of their arrangement, and is one of those words you can easily emphasize the capital "C."

Maybe common usage would be "the gods" and "the Dark Ones".
Scholars and theologians might use different terms that are more precise / descriptive (and give you the chance to flip through a thesaurus).

You might want to create a myth about one of the gods who 'grew up' more than the others, and now holds an unofficial leadership / advisor position. He/she's not the King of the Gods, not the God(dess) of Wisdom, but the one they turn to when they want their plans to succeed.

Oh, some nice stuff here. I really like Concordance and the Accord. I'd thought of the Circle, but I think that one may be a bit overused.

Another fun campaign tidbit, this is also a hollow world. I've always loved that idea. And starting into steampunk (not much) mechanical men (Gearforged from Midgard) and gunpowder exist... rare but they exist. I sorta want a pulp tone to the fantasy.

The Parliament Funkadelic. They all live together on an inaccessible pocket plane called the Mothership.

In that case: The Far-Out-ers
