Golarion (or Pharasma's Creation, as Chandler corrects him, but fuck corrections).
An unusual multiverse of a common pattern.
Still has a lot of subvariations, of course.
Buss only recently became aware that it exists. Though some variations of this multiverse already have a couple of his Emblems. Well, great, "they do them".
A very close variation has not-exactly-Emblem of Buss manifesting in two mortal bodies at once, one of which is farther from the template than the other. Well, have fun too, doesn't concern him either, especially as that Golarion-variation has a very low level of Metaphysical Significance (what adjacent orthies call "realityfluid").
Anyway, nothing of that matters. Only that in this one variation of Golarion, they accept divine Immigration.
And that's amazing! For the dual reason of "more cooperation with more worlds and their systems means more opportunities and economic growth" and "more people get to hear about how cool Buss is, and worship him, because he deserves it, being that cool and that's clearly a very altruistic goal".
So.
I checked and it’s not just Gruhastha. Valani has Growth without Plant. Zura has Blood without War. Etc.
Ok, fine, I wasn’t very attached to it anyway.
Though your arguments and rules are hypocritical and inconsistent, respectively.
So if I am unlimited on subdomains (both normal and floating), the best arrangement would be:
Chaos (Protean, Revelry), Destruction (Rage), Fire (Arson), Glory (Heroism, Hubris, Legend), Sun (Light, Thirst), (Arcane), (Duels), (Fur).
Or maybe Animal instead of Destruction, as I get both their subdomains anyway. Not sure. Animals are a more important part of my being, but the Destruction domain is much more useful than Animal. And the Animal domain is more about interacting with animals, while my main thing is having the traits and powers of an animal inside yourself.
And if I didn’t have any conscience, I would also ask for Imagination, and Trade or Industry, and maybe Self-Realization, to represent the rest of my concerns. And also those subdomains are very powerful, but that is not the goal of having them. But I do have a conscience, and don’t want to demand too much, and am fine with some of my areas of concern not being powers I grant to followers, or otherwise physically represent.
Well I caaan discard Arson and Thirst, I don’t need them that much. So only 10 subdomains.
If I really need to then also Arcane, though it is extremely cool, for 9 subdomains only two of which are floating.
And if you really want to murder me in cold blood, I can also let go of Heroism, and be left with 8 subdomains. But that’s completely unfair.
Also duels requires Urban Acolyte. And Thirst, Hubris and Legend are all Apocryphal. So they sort of don’t really count, right?
Urban Acolyte only works if the deity normally grants the main domain. You cannot grant Duels without having War.
And you can’t get Duels without the Urban Acolyte either, right?
Have I mentioned in the last minute you how much I hate your rules? They are so stupid. Cool, interesting, but stupid.
I don’t really want to have War.
I am a god of chaotic, glorious destruction, brought by fire and sun. With feline predators representing it, and arcane magic often transmitting it.
I am not a god of war, even if I do like some forms of fighting.
Can I at least do that trick where I don’t usually grant Apocryphal domains, but they are marked with an asterisk, so people with Acolyte of Apocrypha get it anyway?
Ok. So not Hurbris and Legend, but they are my most meaningful subdomains anyway.
I let go of Sun, have Light as floating, and Thirst as apocryphal with an asterisk.
So that comes out as:
Chaos (Protean, Revelry), Destruction (Rage), Fire (Arson), Glory (Heroism, Hubris, Legend), War (-), (Arcane), (Fur), (Light).
10 subdomains, and then Thirst and Duels come as a bonus for those. And as said previously, I can discard Arson, already having Destruction. Though the Arson ability is often much more useful than the standard Fire one, especially at low levels.
And without Sun my main domains look too similar to Gorum and Sekhmet. But that makes sense, Sekhmet is my sister.
Bastet’s the younger, Sekhmet’s the older…
There are several other things Buss needs to sort out, but he skips them for now.
Know less about the situation, because I, the all-seeing eye, see farther, but you exist on deeper levels and can interact with them better.
