teh bunneh Posted December 1, 2005 Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Thanks to mayapuppies' paladins thread a few weeks ago, I've been inspired to do a little work on my world's holy warriors (note to self: rep mayapuppies for the inspiration). Roughly, my concept is that most of my world's pantheons have warriors dedicated to the highest principles of their faith, and that dedication grants them special abilities. Each holy warrior's powers are specific to the principles of their god(s), but there's a fair amount of overlap between their powers (since the powers are all divine in nature). Anyhow, I thought I'd post my ideas up here for people to comment on or steal. ---------- Holy Warriors Holy warriors are brave men and women who do battle in the name of the gods. Trained in the arts of war, they have been given powers by the gods in order to fight against evil in all its forms. Holy warriors are neither priests nor fighters, though they may combine aspects of both. They are the front-line defenders of the faith. They epitomize that which the gods favor, be that strength, passion, honor, or some other noble calling. They are more pious and devoted than ordinary worshippers; indeed, they have dedicated their entire lives to a higher calling. Not all gods have holy warriors in their service. Those that do include the Trinity, Adrom and the Mother of the Druidic faith, Tribune of the Cold Gods, the Elvish Pantheon, and the Dwarvish Pantheon. Each god or pantheon grants her followers different abilities, based on the god’s portfolio and dogma. Holy warriors are generally given formal training in a temple or monestary, but oftentimes they are ordinary people who are "called" by the gods to serve. Holy warriors tend to think of themselves as the bulwark of civilization, standing up against a tide of evil and protecting those unable to protect themselves. Sometimes, they serve on the frontlines in the army of some noble king or high priest; other times, they protect pilgrims crossing dangerous lands, or defend temples against thieves and heretics. Frequently, they are sent on quests to further their god’s causes. And often, a holy warrior takes on a personal quest, which she sees as an opportunity to demonstrate bravery, to develop martial skills, to learn tactics, and to find ways to do good. A holy warrior must select a god to follow; this will determine what her skills and powers will be. Once her faith has been selected, a holy warrior may not choose to worship a different god. Doing so will cause all of her holy warrior powers to be stripped from her. Holy warriors are as likely to be male as female. Holy warriors may all select spells as an option path. Spell casting requires the holy warrior to take the Faith skill. All holy warriors also have the Defender of the Faith option path, which allows them to smite the foes of their faith. The types of holy warriors are: Custodiae: Servants of the Elvish gods, these holy warriors defend the sacred places of their people. Feisenkrieger: Dwarves who have dedicated their lives to service to the gods. Feisenkrieger are the bulwark of Dwarvish society and strive to epitomize all the virtues of their people. Judges: Servants of the Tribune, these holy warriors roam the Uruk Mountains in search of those who defy the law. Oglach: Holy warriors in the service of the Mother, they attempt to spread compassion and understanding across the land. Paladins: Powerful servants of the Trinity, Paladins seek to emulate the greatest hero of all ages by destroying evil and helping the helpless. Wardens: The greatest hunters in the world, the Wardens serve Adrom and do his will throughout the wilderness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teh bunneh Posted December 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2005 Re: Paladins, take 2 Custodiae The Custodiae ("Guardians") are servants of the Elvish gods, holy warriors who are tasked to defend the sacred places of their people. The highest calling of a Custodiae is to defend the innocent, and they can often be found fighting on the front lines against those who would try to invade or despoil the Elves' sacred lands. Though the Custodiae honor all the Elvish gods, they hold highest in their hearts Pallas Areia, the goddess of protection, wisdom, and victory. It is said that Pallas Areia taught the art of warcraft to her earliest followers, and they in turn founded the order of the Custodiae. The Custodiae are among the most honored and admired Elves, and they are accorded much respect wherever they may travel. There is only one place where Custodiae are trained, and that is the Tree of Life, hidden deep within the forests of Pasion. The Custodiae 's most sacred task is to defend the tree and those who tend it, and there are always at least 50 Custodiae on guard here. Young Elves are instructed in the mysteries of the order, and when their training is complete they are sent out into the world to hone their skills. They may roam the world, battling evil in all its forms, for years, decades, or even centuries, but eventually almost all of them feel compelled to return and take up the sacred duty of guarding the celestial tree. Elves take the oaths of the Custodiae quite seriously. Once an Elf makes her bond, she will not break it; to do so is a great dishonor and will incur the wrath of the gods. Only Elves may join the Custodiae, though they welcome into their ranks every type of Elf.

teh bunneh Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Paladins, take 2 Here's the second holy warrior package -- the lawgivers of the Uruk Mountains (roughly equivalent to the Slavic or Russian countries) known as the Judges! ---------- Judge The three-aspect god known as Tribune of the Cold Gods counts holy warriors among its followers. They are known as Judges (or "Sudita" in the local language), and they are champions of justice and law and are tireless in seeking it. They are seen as cold and humorless warriors, and their opinions are highly sought-after and rarely questioned. As with all holy warriors, a Judge's code of conduct is strict and absolute. If she dares to deviate from it, she risks losing all of her gods-given special abilities. Judges seldom stay in any one place for long. They roam their homelands seeking injustices to right and criminals to punish. A Judge is an implacable foe, one who will track the wicked to the ends of the earth to make sure they receive their just desserts. Even kings fear falling under the unwavering gaze of a Judge. No evil deed ever escapes their sight, and they are rightly feared and respected for their single-minded devotion to their cause. Judges are almost always trained by another, more experienced Judge. There are few temples or monasteries among their high mountain homes that have the capacity to train one of these holy warriors. Almost all Judges are from one of the Uruk states, and they are seldom found outside these mountains unless they are on some quest or tracking someone who has tried to escape the long arm of their justice.

teh bunneh Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Re: Paladins, take 2 One more for the week... Thanks to Amadan for the idea behind this one. Einherjar A mysterious order of holy warriors found to the north, Einherjar literally means "One who has died." According to Northman mythology, Einherjar are the spirits of the fallen warriors who inhabit Valhalla. The order of the Einherjar are holy warriors who have chosen this name to indicate their separation from the world. They are fierce combatants who have sworn powerful oaths to stand against evil, and are considered "slain" upon taking their vows. They completely abandon all ties to the world, assume a new name, and take up arms against the evils that trouble mankind. Einherjar are the servants of Tyr, god of justice, courage, and warfare – just as Tyr leads the armies of Valhalla, so to do the Einherjar follow his teachings on earth. Einherjar are generally trained in one of the temples of Tyr found throughout Valorsheim and Boresheim. They forever wander the earth, sometimes alone and sometimes with groups of like-minded adventurers, testing their skills against all manner of adversity. Einherjar are regarded with superstitious dread throughout the northlands, as they are thought to be dead men walking. Despite this widespread belief, they are defenders of the people and will gladly risk their lives to help the innocent and defenseless.

AmadanNaBriona Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Re: Paladins, take 2 Nice work there Bill. With the exception of the special powers, my Eiherjar, Grimwald, would fit this package perfectly. Not that he was lacking for special powers, mind you... Runecrafting, the ability to sense evil magic, mystical strength when fighting the undead and the ability to interpret omens were his thing. But undead hunting was his schtick... He was largely inspired by my reading Grettir's Saga. He was also Hel-Blar... a draugar (the nasty norse undead version, not the black skinned D&D dark dwarves) had eaten his fate before he destroyed it. 5d6 unluck, Hunted (anything supernatural in the vicinity), and Distinctive Features (black skin... looks like terminal frostbite, causes extreme reaction... foks either mistook him for a wight, or knew that he was doomed, and that he wasn't safe to be around) Anyone planning a Norse/Viking style campaign or session would do well to looking into the Norse undead... they are a LOT nastier than most RPG's give credit for. Major magic powerrs, more contagious than your average modern Zombie movie zombie... just nasty. I introduced him first into the campaign as an NPC when the players came upon an entire small mountain kingdom that had, in one winter, been undeadified.... only the fact that the mountains had become impassable kept the contagion from spreading. Once again, very cool Bill... Great minds think alike and all... (p.s. I did, for the same campaign, a mortal version of Valkyries as warrior priestesses of Freya and Odin who would "choose the slain"... they were part of the rites that an Eiherjar enacted to assume the mantle of the walking dead, as well as inciting heros to death and glory on the battlefeild, and who had sedir powers related to both healing and death... being healed by one of the Valkyroi was often considered a mixed blessing... it meant that your performance on the feild of battle wasn't worthy of a valiant death... they saved you from Hel, but you'd be considered something less than you were till you could again prove your valor. This concept was also based on a conglomeration of a number of sources in my library... right now I have a stack of about a dozen books relating to Norse Myths and Paganism sitting next to my computer, and I didn't bother grabbing any of the full size hardbacks or poetic translations. I just wish I had an English to Old Norse/Old Norse to English dictonary.

teh bunneh Posted December 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Re: Paladins, take 2 One more holy warrior, for those of you keeping track at home. This one is for the Dwarves... Eisenkrieger Those Dwarves who have dedicated their lives to service to the gods are known as the Eisenkrieger ("Iron Warriors"). Eisenkrieger are the bulwark of Dwarvish society and strive to epitomize all the virtues of their people – hard work, dedication, loyalty, honor, and steadfastness. Even among this stoic people, there are not many who have the dedication and devotion to follow this path, but those that do are granted great powers and are given the highest honor by their people. Eisenkrieger are trained by the Iron Warriors Clan in one of several temples found throughout the Dwarves' homeland of Retor. Like Dweommercraefters, Eisenkrieger abandon all ties to their previous life when they join the Holy Warriors – the Iron Warriors, in effect, are their own Clan, related by their unbreakable oaths rather than ties of blood. An Eisenkrieger who breaks her oaths loses access to her special abilities, and worse, is cast away from Dwarvish society forever. Only Dwarves may become a part of the Eisenkrieger, though this Clan welcomes into its ranks every type of Dwarf.

Adrom was a mortal who became a god; it is his example that all Wardens seek to follow. Adrom is the god of hunters and protector of those who move through the wild places. Wardens are the masters of those wild places, men and women who tread where others fear to go. They are the trailblazers, explorers and pioneers who roam the ancient forests, swamps, mountains, plains, hills, and badlands, protecting those who work, live, and travel in these uncivilized places. Wardens may be trained in one of the temples of Adrom; more likely promising students will be taken under the wing of an experienced Warden and brought up the ways of the wild. Like all other Holy Warriors, Wardens must obey a strict code of behavior or risk losing their special connection with the natural world. Wardens are thought of as the greatest or all hunters. They often seek out and kill creatures or men who despoil nature. Wardens are most commonly found on the island of Kalon, though the order has spread out through most of the West so it is not unusual to encounter a Warden from any of the four corners of the earth.

Mother has a small number of followers who dedicate their lives to the principles of peace and justice. They are warriors who are deeply respected for the sacrifices they make to protect and preserve their island home. They call themselves the Oglach (which translates roughly as “children†or “servantsâ€), and they are given powers and abilities to do their Mother's will on the earth. Oglach rarely have any formal training. Instead, they are called to serve through a series of visions (which may begin at a very young age). Their code of behavior is every bit as strict as that of the other Holy Warriors, though they are usually much more part of the local community. They are highly regarded by the people of Kalon, who believe they have a personal connection with the gods; such that even kings and chiefs often seek their advice. Since Oglach are independent agents, they are not bound by the hierarchy of the druids. Oglach seldom seek adventure, but they will defend their people with a fury unmatched by any. Oglach are seldom seen outside of Kalon, though one might be given a vision-quest that requires her to travel to strange lands.

teh bunneh Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Re: Paladins, take 2 Last one. This one is based off the "standard" D&D paladin... ----- Paladin Paladins are followers of the Trinity. Noble and heroic warriors, they follow in the footsteps of Durom I, the legendary hero who lead the armies of goodness and killed the Demon Morianis in single combat. Paladins are paragons of virtue, honor, and dignity. They are regarded by all right-thinking people as heroes, and even their foes respect their dedication and compassion. Few have the purity and devotion it takes to walk the Paladin's path, but those few are rewarded with the power to protect, to heal, and to smite. Paladins are usually trained in one of the great temples of the Trinity, or (less frequently) are taken on as students by a more experienced Paladin. They are forever seeking ways to prove their dedication to their faith, and even a mundane mission is, in the heart of the Paladin, a personal test. As followers of the Trinity, a Paladin must live up the strict laws of their faith. Paladins take their code of honor seriously. If a Paladin should ever violate the tenants of her code of honor, she will henceforth become unable to use any of her special abilities unless she properly atones for her sin. Paladins usually come from Demoria, where there is a long tradition of serving the Trinity. A Paladin might be from Shelinsibeau or Nekia as well. A Paladin from another part of the world most likely would have trained one-on-one with an older Paladin master, or immigrated to Demoria for her training.

Curufea Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Re: Paladins, take 2 I've installed 3 wiki's so far - two DokuWikis and a WakkaWiki (For Baron Munchausen storytelling game, for a SpecFic reviews website, and the last for converting my entire website). Wikis are websites that are editable "on the fly". You go to the website, and edit the page - you don't need to know HTML, and don't use any other program but your browser. Wiki sites are frequently editable by the public, or regististered users. They have huge organisational advantages over a message board - because you can categorise, use breadcrumbs and create links how you want. (edit) I did start one of these several months ago, actually. But due to lack of interest in others to contribute - and the need for a reviews website to be set up for a friend, I converted the Wiki from Hero to reviews (what little is left is here, and just consists of the "converted to" threads - http://www.curufea.com/hero/). However, now that I've moved the reviews website to a subdomain (http://www.asif.dreamhosters.com) I can convert the Hero Wiki back to its original intent (and make it open to registered users again - currently it isn't editable).

teh bunneh Posted January 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 Re: Paladins, take 2 OK, now I need a little assistance. I'm codifying the Codes of Honor for each of my Holy Warrior types. I've got the Paladin and the Warden down, but I need a little help with the others. The general themes should stay the same -- bravery, honor, sacrifice, etc, but each has to have its own cultural components. Anyone got any ideas? Here's what I got: The Paladin's Code of Honor Honor: A Paladin does what she knows is right, even if there is an easier way; even if she knows she will lose by it. She cannot hide from herself. She is free, but she knows that freedom without honor is barbarity — and when her life is over, if she holds fast to her honor, she can face her god and say, "I tried to do right." Power & Compassion: Through intense training, the Paladin becomes quick and strong. She is not like other people. She develops powers that must be used for the good of all. She has compassion. She helps her fellows at every opportunity. If an opportunity does not arise, she goes out of her way to find one. Duty & Loyalty: When a Paladin does or says something, she owns that thing. She is responsible for it and all the consequences that follow. A Paladin is loyal to those in her care. To those she is responsible for, she remains totally true. Heroism & Courage: A Paladin rises up above the mass of people who are afraid to act. A Paladin's path is dangerous, but she lives life completely. Courage is not blind — it is intelligent and strong. A Paladin replaces fear with respect and caution. Honesty & Justice: A Paladin is acutely honest in her dealings with all people. She believes in justice. To the Paladin, there are no shades of gray. When it comes to honesty and justice, there is only right and wrong. Courtesy: Paladins do not need to prove their strength. A Paladin is courteous even to her enemies. Without this show of respect, people are nothing more than animals. A Paladin is not only respected for her strength in battle, but also for her dealings with others. The true strength of a Paladin becomes apparent during difficult times. Sincerity: When a Paladin has said she will perform an action, it is as good as done. Nothing will stop her from completing what she has said she will do. She does not have to give her word; she does not have to promise. The action of speaking alone has set the act of doing in motion — speaking and doing are the same thing. The Warden’s Code of Honor Trustworthiness: A Warden is trustworthy and honest. She keeps her word; people can depend on her. Loyalty: A Warden is true to her duty. Beneficence: A Warden is concerned about others. She faces challenges and dangers willingly, without thought of reward. Benevolence: A Warden understands that there is strength in being gentle. She does not resort to violence except as a last resort. Courtesy: A Warden is polite to all. She knows that a person is measured by her dealings with others. Courage: A Warden braves dangers that others do not dare to face. She has the courage to stand for what she believes in, no matter the odds.
