Poll #295 - The Greater Powers of Helkara (Patreon)

Wooo! The poll series for developing our Sword & Sorcery world continues. 

Here are the other polls if you've missed 'em:

• Pick the theme for the first adventure 
• Pick the name of our world 
• Pick the heritages for our world 

Next up, we need some greater powers/gods. Since this is Sword & Sorcery, the greater powers will be twisted, evil beings hellbent on destruction. The only reason they plan to keep humanoidkind alive is to convert them into thralls and/or food or use them for some other sick purpose. Alternatively, they might not even notice that humanoidkind exists, content to work towards their own dastardly goals.

But what are these evil beings like?

Pick the one that you like best. The names probably won't stick; I'll change them into something more fitting.
