Noden's deeds of good

As a god I have influence over many things and many powers. I am the god to choose, because I have power over things that are important to society like Healing, water, the ocean, fishing, the Sun, sailing, childbirth, dogs, youth, beauty, smiths, carpenters, poets, historians,  writing, and warfare. I should have the honor of ruling because I am not lecherous or psychotic like my Greek counterparts, or so limited in power as the Native American deities like Nanook. I shall display some of my deeds below and you shall see that having a god of many abilities as chieftain is essential.

A display of my power over healing and dogs. Above is a man who had leprosy, but after being licked by my deer hound, he recovered quickly and was allowed to return to a normal life as a carpenter.

  Since I am a god of water as well, I created a spring to provide those who worship me with fresh water infused with my healing powers while giving them success and talent in the professions that I  represent (smiths, carpenters, poets, historians, hunters, fisherman, sailors...). Also, I am an awesome hunter and can do so much more than the polar bear, I'll just hunt him.

The spring that I created which will never carry disease and provide recovery from illness.

Coyote's Crib

Coyote's crib, so to speak, is a vast expanse of desert and grassland situated in a massive valley between the two tallest mountains on his planet.  Coyote's crib is unique due to the fact that Coyote occupies multiple forms depending on his mood; in addition to his common animal form, he may resemble a handsome young man, or an old man, withered but wise.  Coyote's crib must accommodate all of his various forms, and as such it resembles both a creature's habitat and a man's abode. While in his animal form, Coyote spends most of his days exploring and hunting for food, and since he is capable of traveling at great speeds, this calls for a vast area for him to traverse.  Coyote is very sneaky and mischievous, meaning that he sometimes needs places to hide from those he has tricked in the past.  Because of this, Coyote's expanse is filled with secret caves and hidden, underground passageways, and only Coyote himself knows the layout of these caverns.  When Coyote chooses to take his human form as a young man, he keeps himself at peak physical condition by working out and traversing various obstacle courses which he has built for himself. When Coyote chooses to take his human form as an old man, he spends much of his time refining his keen wit and superior intellect by performing many of the challenging puzzles that he also designed for himself.

Thor Odinson's Crib

Thor Odinson’s Crib

Thor Odinson’s Crib

I, The Almighty Thor, Son of Odin the All-Father, was born and raised in the Kingdom of Asgard. My father built the kingdom centuries ago. I need only the essentials. I have a bed to sleep in, food to eat,  ale to drink, and my almighty hammer to fight with. That is all. 

Norse Mythology

Thor is the Norse god of thunder. He is the son of Odin and Jord, and one of the most powerful gods. The norse believed that during a thunderstorm, Thor rode through the heavens on his chariot. Lightening flashed whenever he threw his hammer. Thor wears the belt of Asgard which doubles his already considerable strength. He later mated with a giant named Jarnsaxa with whom he had a son named Magni, but his wife is Sif, whose hair Loki cuts. Thor's appetites are gigantic. He once drank from a horn that was emptying the water from the ocean. He is described as huge, red-bearded, with burning eyes who could defeat giant or troll in a test of strength, although he was much smaller than a giant and once slept in a giant's glove. He has an adoptive brother named Loki.

No one can understand the longevity of this suffering like the fire and lava that surrounds my throne. Welcome to “The Fortress of Instability.” It used to be called “The Fortress of Fire,” until the light of my life slowly died in my arms. Now I’m alone. It seems like yesterday that I waltz throughout this abode with my lover. Now I only seem to stumble about. Fire brings me no pain, quite the contrary. It’s a reliever. It’s the only element I can trust. This is where I conjure the fire elements around my body to sooth this everlasting pain. This is where the fire puts me to sleep or wakes me up. This is where I am growing into what I used to be: content. Welcome.

Ra's place of rest

My favorite place in Heliopolis

 During midday, when I am not flying around in my manjet-boat (a.k.a. 'Barque of Millions of Years') around the sky, I reside as a human in Heliopolis, known as the City of the Sun in Cairo, Egypt.  I am always extremely busy, therefore I am usually found in my boat. However, when I do want some down time, I’ll visit my favorite place, Heliopolis, where the tower of my era still stands, the Al-Masalla obelisk. It reminds me of the time when things were simple, giving me a certain peace that I can’t find anywhere else. It is a part of what Cairo looks like now (see picture below). This is a nice place for me to go and relax, forgetting all of my stressors for the midday. I love to walk around and feel the stone from so long ago, thinking of new ideas to create and transform this world into a better place. Usually I do not stay here long, as I have much other important business to attend to, bring the creator of all.

Poseidon Card

Child of the Titans Cronus and Rhea and brother of Zeus and Hades, Poseidon was the Greek god of the sea, earthquakes and horses. Mythology depicts him as being a temperamental god, who often plagued those who angered him with storms and shipwrecks. His precise powers and weaknesses depend on the particular story in which he appears, but like the other Greek gods, very little can harm him. His only real weaknesses lie in tricking or deceiving him, and woe betide the trickster if Poseidon ever learns that he's been duped (Robert Vaux).

Strengths:

As the god of the sea, Poseidon has power over all forms of water, as well as the creatures of the sea such as fish and dolphins.  He carries a giant trident, which is so powerful that it can shake the earth.  His powers can be used to cause tempests and earthquakes, drown lands, shatter rocks.  He could call up storms and typhoons out of blue skies, drive ships into rocks with terrible waves, and create new land formations by unleashing great earthquakes.

In addition to oceans and earthquakes, Poseidon was the god of horses, and held influence over all things equine. He rode across the sea on a golden chariot drawn by hippocampi (aquatic horses), and myths tell of him fathering numerous magical horses.

Weaknesses:

As a god, Poseidon possessed very few tangible weaknesses. The most prominent was his comparatively limited influence. He had no power over the air or land (besides being able to cause earthquakes), and if he intruded into those realms, it would draw the ire of whatever other god held sway there. The best way to protect oneself from his wrath was simply to stay away from the ocean.

Like all Greek gods, Poseidon was petty, given to fits of temper and capricious whims which left no room for the opinions of others. While it made for quite a pinch if you were his target, it also meant that he could be distracted fairly easily.
