[FMG] Throne of Night - I'd love to see your custom patrons

Grand Lodge

I'm gearing up to run Throne of Night and hope to be creating the patron tonight with my players using mostly what Gary provided in the back matter.

When you made your patrons, did you go with what Gary wrote, make up your own or somewhere between the two? Care to share what you and your players came up with?


I recently started the AP Throne of night with 4 PC. We chose together to go for the overlord part and so, prior the character creation, we started the Patron creation.
I used the list of 20 descriptors and ask them to choose 3 of them. They were not very different as War & Conquest was chosen three times. Overall, I had only 5 descriptors. After a round of discussion and a vote, I end up with War & conquest, Shadow and Nobility.
My PC then chose 3 virtues and 3 sins, and they end up with a military god with a taste for slavery and aristocracy, and a dislike of cowardice, a shame for a drow demon-prince. But that's their chose.

At the end, I have this:
Ryl'Maliranth, Walkyrie Queen

Alignment: CE
Domains: Chaos (Demon), Evil (Démon), War (Blood, Tactics), Nobility (Leadership), Darkness, Trickery
Favorite weapons: Scimitar and kukri
Unholy Symbol: a drow face view in front, surrounded by 8 scimitars, on a black background

I chose 6 domains because I feel that Chaos and Evil are pretty redundant and I have a majority of divine oriented character so I'd like to have more diversity for the sake of the group. I also chose 2 favored weapons to not limit them to use light or one handed weapon.


I haven't played Throne of Night, but honestly, I think Nocticula is the ideal drow patron. She's a demon lord, and she represents darkness, assassination, and lust. That, and her favored weapon is the hand crossbow, which drow are proficient in.


My party ended up choosing Undeath, Slavery, and Madness. It ended up being a near perfect fit for Zura, so I went with it.
