A Deity's "Court"?

[RickDias]

The Solar bloodline for Sorcs includes a fun line about those who are "servants in the sun goddess' court" or words close to that. It got me thinking... what exactly is a deity's court?

Does this include lesser deities who happen to get along with them? For example, are Empyreal Lords part of Sarenrae's 'court'? Or is it purely characters and general outsiders and so on?

[CzarGarrett]

I would think it would be various outsiders who directly served the deity, as well as any souls of mortals that earned the right to assist.

I doubt it would be lesser deities, unless it was some sort of pantheon structure, although I could see other deities visiting, ala European royalty in the Middle Ages.

demi gods maybe.....

For starters, check out the unique servants listed in sources like Inner Sea Gods. For Sarenrae specifically, it also lists an entire race of beings, the Yhohms as well as the individuals linked above. It's entirely possoible that Empyreal Lords, especially those whose interests overlap hers, pass through often, but since they all have their own responsibilities, I doubt they stay there all the time. Throw in some regular angels of various levels and there you go.

[RickDias]

Those are interesting points. It makes me wonder why the Solar bloodline isn't speciifcally marked Sarenrae-specific, in that case.

Sarenrae isn't the only sun goddess. Shizuru in Tian Xia is one as well, as among others.

But what if they're a God(dess) of Basket Ball?

If it's a goddess, Wilt Chamberlain's probably slept with her.
