In this case, you should choose 5 domains, which must include the appropriate alignment domains - Lawful and Good for a LG god for example - and a favored weapon which may not be exotic. You should also describe a holy symbol, or holy symbols for your god and provide at least a brief description.

- Karran, God(dess) of Love, Frivolity and Art (CG, consort). It is not known if Karran is currently active, dormant or dead, but the divinity dates back to before the end of the Golden Age. Documentation on Karran's gender is vague and elusive, but people seem to see the divinity in their own terms. Although nominally good, there is some inclusion of proper recompense for jilted lovers; Karran seems to encourage the injured party to get some form of symbolic revenge for relationships turned sour. Karran also seems to be no stranger to combat, and is depicted in battle with demons multiple times. The holy symbol is two small circles, interwoven, inside a larger one. At least one religious artifact, Karran’s Lance, is known to exist (it’s actually a longbow, Karran's apparent favored weapon) and is presently in the possession of Samad Salil.
The Nature of Divinity[]
There are seven beings, great beyond the comprehension of mortals,
The archetypes are loosely organized into three archetypes of civilization (the Ruler, the Consort, the Counselor), three archetypes outside of civilization (The Storm, the Stranger, the Destroyer) and one archetype in between (the Wanderer). Not all archetypes are present in all pantheons and some pantheons may have several deities that fill a particular archetype within their pantheon.
The Ruler[]
Aspects of the Ruler are frequently the bringers or founders of civilization. They often control of Rulership, Crafts, and Fertility.
The Consort[]

The Counselor[]
The Counselor is one who knows the Future and the Past and claims dominion over Knowledge, Wisdom, Divination, and Madness.
The Wanderer[]
Aspects of the Wanderer are often caught between the gods of civilization and those wishing to destroy/dominate civilization. They frequently bear the title Lord of Things Between and are masters of Travel, Change, Humor, and Trickery.

Storm aspects are the Uncontrolled and portfolios often include: Weather, Nature, Emotions, Change, and the Sea.
