[Phantasm]

A few questions I've asked when cooking up deities worshipped in my setting:

1. What are the cultural values?
2. What are the cultural vices?
3. What kind of environment did the people originally worshipping them come from? (A heavy seafaring people like ancient Greeks and Norse will have a sea god as a primary deity, but a landlocked mountain people wouldn't.)
4. How much deific incest is going on in their relations? (The gods on Olympus married siblings, cousins, nieces, and other near relations; the Aesir of the Norsemen didn't like when their sister people the Vanir engaged in the same act.)
5. Are the gods ageless or are they cycling through generations?
6. Did the gods create the world, or come after it?
