'''Dionysus''' is the god of wine, grapes, orchards, and [[Chaos|going batshit fucking crazy]]. His parents are up for debate, but (almost) everyone agrees his father is [[Zeus]]. His mother is either Semele, [[Demeter]], or Persephone. In real life, the cult of Dionysus considered drinking wine to be a holy act, and therefore mostly amounted to a big group of rowdy drunks praising the name of Dionysus. Better than Jonestown, eh? He's very much the opposite of his brother [[Apollo]].

Shockingly, the god of alcoholics is chaotic neutral. His worshipers are just as likely to be [[Nurgle|jovial friends]] as they are to be [[Khorne|bloodthirsty murderers]]. [[Deities & Demigods]] says this is because of the dual nature of alcohol, making people both happy and insane.

His followers are all those fond of a stiff drink, a party, or raving lunacy. Players looking to make Dionysus their deity need look no further than almost every [[bard]] stereotype ever, or failing that they could go full blown down the lunacy path and make a character that is absolutely barking mad.
