Forgot to fix links when I made the proposed cities page
{{history}}
This page lists the old [[Gods]] of IVAN, which have since been removed, renamed or merged with significantly changed. One might also notice some [[angel|archangel]]s were named after one of their respective god's other gods that still exist in the current versionproposed names. <br>The information here was taken from various files within IVAN's source repository.
This is simply historical documentation for interest's sake.
The old gods worked on a double alignment system similar to D&D, with axis for Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic and Good/Neutral/Evil. This was later scrapped in favor of a singular axis system from chaotic to lawful.
Each old god here is listed under their name given in Panthenon.txtas well as the form they took from form.txt and their favored location (?) from need.txt.<br>The old gods each have a list of alternative identities formatted as "Name, gender, translation". Translations are given from both the original Latin and from the devs' Finnish translations.
