Hringhome was a Jotun Neifelheim Son of Neifel with 3 cold, 10 dominion, 6 water IIRC.

Anuvade was a Caelum Virtue with 3 cold, 3 luck 10 dominion, 10 air.

Abogol was an Abyssian Moloch with 3 heat, 3 death, 3 drain, 10 dominion, 10 fire, 6 blood.

All of those were created for the purposes of finding cool pretender titles, not for actually playing the game.

Some of the best titles come on R'lyeh and Ermor pretenders.

although, cranking your scales to -3 eliminates some of the cool + scale titles.

10 dominion + 6+ path/paths = best titles. Scale titles arent that exciting, really, though. So boost the paths, ditch the scales, and reroll till you get one that doesnt have "lady of turmoil" or whatever. =)

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Smouldercone/Seraphim is available to Abysia/Caelum regardless of magic: I know this because for a unit-viewing game I made, I just pushed "create god, done". With no magic, minimal dominion, and no scales, I got one title: Lord of the Smouldercone. The same thing has happened for Caelum.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah, but in exchange, you get all the - scale titles, which make you sound like some horrible, nasty person: I got "Norfleet, Lord of Terror, Prince of Darkness, something-or-other-blah-blah-blah", and a bunch of other stuff pertaining to death, disease, mayhem, and other general unpleasantness.

Assumably you are messing around, if so, just reroll, after 3-4 tries, you'll get all power titles, with no "Lord of Beggars" etc thrown in.

I just got, "God of Invincible Power, God of Gods, He Who Stole The Fire, Wielder of Every Flame, King of the Banefires, Lord of Death and Destruction" for example.

that was Abyssia, with 10 dom, -3 to every scale, 9 fire, 6 astral, 8 blood, 1 death, or something similar to that. So yeah, Lady of Turmoil, King of Beggars, Lamer of Lamers, all can happen with bad scales, and that sucks, but since these are test cases, unless you are playing Ashen Ermor http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif anyway, just reroll till its ALL cool.

The AI sometimes have interesting titles even in Normal difficulty (i.e. no bonus in design point).

Venna, Goddess of Men's Fates, Sky of all the People, Goddess of the East Wind, Lady of Courage (Pythium Virtue, 9A7S)

My favorite:
Naggor, Enemy of Reason, The Corn Lord

And that was one I designed for an actual game.

Fear the corn.

*Edit: BTW, I don't have any links or anything else to back this up, but I have a recollection of reading several years ago, a reference to an article claiming that a large intake of corn would for some reason serve to make the corn eater slightly more prone to violence. If true the corn lordship does not fit that badly together with enemy of reason.
