05-12-07, 04:28 PM I'm looking for a diety of dreams. The only one I know of is Sehanine Moonbow from Races of the Wild. Any others?

Also, is there a list somewhere of deities by portfolio and doman?

Try the god Untamo, from Finnish Mythology.

Right now your best bet would be to look at real world mythology and create your own.

05-14-07, 11:46 AM Irmo and Lorien from J.R.R. Tolkien's books. If someone worked a bit to convert them to D&D.

Actually Sandman is clearly stated as being Morpheus but remember the old sandman quote: "I'll show you terror, with just a pinch of my sleep dust!"

Vara is a NE (LE) demigoddess of a regional pantheon and also had dominion over fear and nightmares.

05-16-07, 01:28 PM Thanks everybody. What are the best source books for these?

I don't have Vara in any of my books, and the only info on Incabulos, Zuoken and Tharizdun I have are brief descriptions in Complete Divine and (for Tharizdun) Lords of Madness. Is there much more detail in say, Living Greyhawk Gazetteer?

Thanks again!

05-16-07, 05:45 PM Incabulos, god of nightmares, disease, drought, famine, pestilence, and woe. Mentioned in Complete Divine (only in his disease aspect) and http://www.wizards.com/rpga/downloads/LG_Deities.zip.

Vara can also be found in the http://www.wizards.com/rpga/downloads/LG_Deities.zip document.
