I've been trying to convert the nine Spellforce deities (technically, there's ten) to Pathfinder for a home game. I noticed that, luckily enough, each can be aligned in such a way that there's one for every alignment, though some require background info instead of just their portfolio to make sense (such as Zerbo being NE rather than CN) and even then, opinions may vary.
I've mostly finished, but I'm drawing a blank for some domains, colors, and animals, and most favored weapons. Luckily, some weapons were either used as a holy symbol or were an item in the games, namely Hirinstaff (a quarterstaff) and Ulmspringer (a bow), though the latter is useless for effective use of the deity, as the deity no longer exists in his original form/portfolio after two of them had a falling out with the others.
As for domains, I've tried to have each domain represented through at least a subdomain (some parent domains just wouldn't make any sense, like Madness, though Nightmare was a fit). However, I currently lack representation of Animal, Scalykind, and Void. I can do without the last two, but the lack of the first one hurts me for some reason, even though there is (no longer) a god of animals and the next closest thing would be the goddess of nature, who has no particular affinity for animals as far as I'm aware.
So I'm basically just asking for any suggestions that could thematically fill in the blanks (represented by ???). Suggestions for oracle mysteries/curses and inquisitions are also welcome.
