He has several huge armies. He is the personification of Evil. People don't know his name, so forget about speaking it. As mentioned before, he can bend all magic to his own will, and cast spells without tiring himself, and he is a god, so he can't die at all.

If so, I strongly recommend you Like CreateSpace: http://www.facebook.com/CreateSpace There is a full website for it that has a LOT of great resources but I have found their daily posts on FB to be a nice introduction. Some really useful information in small, digestible bites. You assume wrongly ![]() |

I would say bravo, he appears to be Dark Lord, though if he is a god it may be problematic. Also, at first I thought you wrote that he is god, not a god, and I was thinking 'how very phillip pullman' but then i was almost dissapointed. |

Gothmog, why are you disappointed? BTW, a god in my universe is not like the Christian God, or even Greek/Roman gods, with huge power and being unkillable and isolated from men. He is more like a Norse god, though even those are distant. Think of him as very much alike to Sauron (I'll get sued if I ever publish my book, unless i name it a LOTR spinoff ![]() |

I said ALMOST disapointed ![]() I did not say Gods in your novel weren't. I like the sound of your books anyway. ![]() Quote: ...to try and use magic, which he can twist as he wishes, but he can't cast his own spells Does make sense to me ![]() |

That seems like a paradox, because if God becomes evil, he's the Devil, and if the Devil get's good, he'd be God (if I'm not mistaken, I'm not a theologist).

1) Write all your ideas in a paper or two, then put them on historical or book order if you plan writing more than one, then start by analysing each one by one from the first to the last ![]() ![]() 2) God cannot become evil, the enemy cannot become God as God is only the one that was not created, the enemy is created he can;t be God. Don't foret that before the time he was good but then he turned evil because he hated the idea that we men, lower than them would become angels when we went to paradise. 3) My main enemy will be defeated on the end of times. |

@Hilbert, concerning the second statement, if God and the Devil are fictional characters in a person's novel, they could be good or evil if the writer wanted them to be. If you wanted God to be good and the Devil to be evil, or both to be Good, or both to be Evil, God to be Evil and the Devil to be good, then its your book its up to you. Having studied philosophy of religion, I know plenty about God and Devil, and yes God was meant to be the only thing that wasn't created, he created time and space annd matter, and the Devil wa the leader of rebel angels, though I have yet to see any reason how they could exist in reality thus I do not think they are real. |

Everyone has his opinion, as long as you don;t harm others with a difference one is okay. At my novel the ONE is the creator of all, not created but creator. The first evil was one of the first spirits, the ultimate enemy... ![]() |
