Thank you for the quick answer.
The diety in question is "Pale Night".
EDIT: She is on the amia wiki, so i guess she is part of the canon

| Post subject: | Question: Faith without diety system? |
Evening everyone, have some question about faith. I found a canon diety that i want my character to follow, but the diety is not in amias diety system. So the questions are: 1. Can i rp that i follow a diety even if its not in the system (as a pure wizard, no cleric/pally levels)? 2. Is it possible to get a diety in to the system without causing the devs hours of work? I had hoped to later get the diety in to the game, but dont want to cause devs, DMs or players any problem, so i thought it would be best to ask before i do anything. Havent seen a thread about this yet, but has anyone done this before? |

It depends on the deity and whether or not it is a part of our cosmology. No, it isn't hard to get a deity implemented into the system but it does require roleplay. Non-divine classes can follow non-system deities fine, but I'm not too sure about divine classes. |

It's canon if and only if it's from a book or a web article with the Forgotten Realms and WotC/TSR logo on it. Amia Wiki is player mainted, full of errors, and not canon. The article in question doesn't cite its sources. She's not a goddess anyhow, according to that wiki entry. She's a demon. But yes, you can worship demons. I suggest finding the original source and determining whether it's an FR product or not. My guess she's from one of the fiend books (Fiendish Codex I and II or something?) which aren't FR-specific but probably applicable insofar as they don't contradict specific FR lore. Demon lords are dime in a dozen so my completely uneducated guess would be that one from a core D&D product would exist. |

Pale Night can be worshipped. And yes she's part of our cosmology. |

The problem would be there if a divine caster worshipped a diety considered a part of our cosmology but not listed in the diety domain choices. Clerics of uncategorized dieties wouldn't be able to cast. |

I would say worship a deity with the same domains as Pale Night, but don't take me at my word just yet. Wait for a few more DMs to pitch in. |

I would say that if you wanted to follow a deity not supported by our current system, post a quick request and we DM's will let you know how that deity's portfolio translates to Amia. Then just find a god/goddess that fits that portfolio in so much as domains go and poof.... you're good to go. |

Why worship a white exhibitionist milf when you can worship Graz'zt?!

Would it be hijacking the topic if I asked if it's able to get followers to follow a PC and with enough support gain demi-god-hood? |

I recommend you look into how divine ranks work a bit more. Besides that, I think it should be obvious enough we're not going to let people play demigod characters. |

I didn't imagine you would, I just recall someone mentioning that was one way to gain some level of it and I wanted a lil' bit of clarification. |

You also need AO's direct permission and some sort of portfolio to take over that isn't already proscribed to another deity. Thereotically it is possible with 'a few hundred to a few thousand' worshippers, along with the above. Just not on Amia. |

Cheers for the clarification, knew it wasn't entirely farce, was just curious for curiousity sake. |

You're welcome to try! It could be interesting to see a bunch of PC's extolling some bizzare godly character. |
