what if the world was a grumpy old man who looked like a black david bowie and his best friend was the angriest hobbit you've ever seen

Adelaide Tristé (wiki)

Domains: death / the afterlife

Propaganda:

The god of death was originally her father Tristero, but when her brother Angelo was killed, the throne passed to him, and then when she was killed (by the same woman) she took control. Eventually she creates a permanent afterlife for the dead to pass on to and enters a poly relationship with the woman who killed her. She's a bitch and I love her

Samot (wiki1, wiki2)

Domains: wolves, knowledge, books, wine, leisure

Propaganda:

He was originally a being of pure entropy who became a god after he stole another god's name. Also, he is so so so divorced

Samothes (wiki1, wiki2)

Domains: invention, the sun, tools, the forge

Propaganda:

The only god whose incarnations are distinguished by Doritos flavor. He and his husband got so divorced that it started a war that culminated in his son killing him with a cursed sword and taking his place

Tamarin

● Not only is she canonically in relationship with another female dragon (Anemone who may be submitted by someone else) she's also positive disability representation as a blind dragon. She has a very sweet and likeable personality and beautiful character design.

● Tamarin is canonically sapphic, due to the fact that she’s revealed to be dating another female dragon named Anemone within the book “A Guide to the Dragon World”.

Samol

● He is the oldest thing in existence. He is the earth itself and if (when) he dies it will be endangered. Sometimes he is a large purple monster. Sometimes he is a dragon. Sometimes he is a Black David Bowie. His oldest friend (the second oldest being in existence) is Death. Has no canonical romance but a) very few (if any???) Friends at the Table characters are hetero and cis, and b) he has a Thing with a player character that many interpret as romantic and/or sexual.

SPOILERS: After he dies a cult uses his bones (from his dragon form) to cause even more destruction and the players need to kill it (again).

Propaganda

The New Archives, Friends at the Table: Seasons of Hieron:

From the Wiki: "The New Archives can refer to both an organization of curators, collectors and academics (most of whom are orcs) operating in post-Erasure Hieron, as well as to the mountainous location which their main operation is based in. A vast and convoluted city carved directly into a mountain, the New Archives are located in the mountains of northern Hieron, east of Velas and the Mark of the Erasure and north of The Lost University."

Archivists can do pattern magic, where by aligning objects in specific ways they can change the fabric of reality. Therefore, archivists travel all over the continent collecting materials — especially items from before the apocalypse — by force if necessary.

Foxglove Tea, Elsewhere University by @elsewhereuniversity:

It's eldrich, it's endless, it's got a group of pages guarding it

Downing Hill Public Library, Hello from the Hallowoods by William A Wellman:

It’s the largest collection of secret and occult texts on the planet and also a school teaching those of covenant blood (aka their ancestors made a pact with Indescribable gods) to become witches. Their motivations are shady and unknown, but they seem to believe all forbidden books should be under their control and have no qualms about working with some very evil individuals to gain those books. You can check out a spell book of dark magic pretty easily but if you don’t bring it back in time, they will send a horrible raven-amalgamation called the Omen after you.

Ichneumon, Kamen Rider:

IT'S SUCH A COOL LIBRARY. it’s exclusively able to be accessed by philip, and provided you’ve got the right keywords, you can access pretty much any information in the world. considering Philip is able to pick up virtually any information super super fast too I’d assume being hooked up to it makes you able to do that. there’s a lot of stuff but im really brainfogged rn so 👍 go watch kamen rider w
