Question: What would happen if Cernunnos and Eshu fought against each other? Both deities have very unique reputations among the gods, and both deities have an absurd number of purviews, not to mention that they both seem to be very magic-heavy. Also, what would a battle of wills and minds be like between them?
Why not invite Tezcatlipoca, too, and make it a party?
Honestly, as usual with these who-would-win-in-a-fight questions, there's no real answer to this one. Both gods have so many powers and possibilities at their command that trying to guess which one would be used when is an exercise in futility, and why they're fighting, when and where and who else is around could all potentially make a very big difference as well. And, as is usually the case with gods who are not generally meatheads, these two would probably never actually up and fight one another. That would be dangerous. Someone could get hurt. Much better idea to just subtly ruin one anothers' lives remotely in an ever-escalating war of influence, shenanigans and Fate-tweaking.
Sorry we don't have much more for you than that. Your imagination will have to run wild without us.
Maybe it's the vodka talking, but why even ask such a question? It really depends on the game you're running, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteIn my games, Cernunnos and Eshu wouldn't be fighting, it would be stupid, they've all got Titans breathing down their necks. Neither of them is stupid enough to compromise their position by wasting energy fighting each other.
Even assuming no Titans, the two of them would not get into some Godly UFC ring and duke it out. If they had something to prove, they would, as you said, fight through proxies and pawns.
And for the love of anything holy never add Tezcatlipoca to your fights, he ruins everything for everyone ;p
