yes-we still need to design a pantheon and classes

Just fine

I've been okay

Magic is considered feminine in this world

That sounds better for the god/dess of magic

Then what should we name the chief god?

That sounds like a good goddess name--she would rule over the gods and goddesses of the home, family, the arts, and wisdom, to name a few things

Still looking for names

Let me dream up names and what they rule

How's this for a compromise--there are two main deities, and many lesser deities

Why just two?

Again, the deities we make are not copies of actual deities of Indian myth, but based on them.

That said, how many gods and goddesses would you want to have?

Next is the yaja profile and the pantheon

First, here's the kavi profile:

Kavi-The minstrels of the world, kavis heep history and legend alive, and easily recognized by their colorful costumes. They train for years learning songs, stories, how to play a variety of instruments, theater, and composing; among other things. The majority of kavis travel from town to town, but a few reside in larger towns and on royal courts. Harps, flutes, lutes, and karas (fiddle-like instruments similar to the Chinese erhu) are some of the instruments kavis play, but horns, sitars, basakis (large banjo-like lutes that serve as the bass line in orchestras), and bentas (an instrument similar to a harmonica), are not unheard of.

The kavi that serves Shanti's village, Darsee, is an energetic young woman that also has a little magical skill (to protect herself from tigers and other creatures of the jungle. She cares for all the children of every village and town she visits, but cherishes her friendship with Shanti the most

Aside from designing classes, we should plan out a general idea of how the story goes

I'll have the minstrel (kavi) profile up soon

I have priests (yajas), rangers (rajikas) and some other classes on tap too

I'm working on the minstrels of this world, the kavi--the important one in our story is a young lady named Darsee (a reference to "Rikki-tikki-tavi", by the same author)

Not just that, but Kaa is just one of his many names

Design more classes and think up some legends and lore
