I never liked the idea of an "evil" god, who is evil just for the sake of evil instead of opposing the rest of the pantheon for more complex reasons, and has evil as an actual divine domain. How have you approached the concept or seen it approached, and is it better to have a more Satan-like figure or a more Loki or Coyote-like trickster figure, and should they be a true pantheon member or distinct somehow? What are some good domains besides war and/or the underworld (which I feel are a bit overused, at least as primary domains)?
