Re: Help! World of Edean Pantheon Like I said above, most of the "Dark Pantheon" have positive reputations to some degree and have temples in almost any city. The exceptions noted above and Myrra who rules her own country with an iron, but random fist. Mandori's got a schism in his church at the moment and is...torn... You can't walk into a city and judge it's "local alignment" by the temples in it, for the most part. I suppose if there were temples to the God of Disease you might avoid the water and get out of town as quickly as possible, but a temple to the Goddess of War and Discord is common enough in any town with a military base.

Re: Help! World of Edean Pantheon That's kinda where I am going, i could have chosen my words poorly. But this guy is the "Negative" aspect of National Pride. Where as Gainer is the more encompassing side. Gainer's church concerns itself with protecting a city, state, kingdom, etc from outside threats and natural disasters. Ragnar, being a bit insane, sees threats from all over. His church is insular, watches their neighbors for signs of "dissidence". The vast majority of Ragnar's followers do so in the belief that they are protecting their community and the ones they love. And they do so. Some of his highest level priests act as a "Secret Police", sticking the church's noses into local affairs and reporting to a higher Authority or rousing bands of vigilantes to weed out the 'bad folk'. Trouble is, Ragnar's not very consistant on what his ideas of 'good folk' and 'bad folk' are, and his priests are more often than not left to thier own prejudices. He's very loyal to the Tyrant God and his "side". But his church is very popular with cities and communities they are in. I see him as a slightly Paranoid version of Helm from the Forgotten Realms.

Re: Help! World of Edean Pantheon The Patriot is how he sees himself. He's an Isolationist. His communities tend to stagnate. The Patriot is also his good points. The "Dark" gods almost all have positive aspects. Among Ragnar's portfolios is Protection. His church always take care of their community. They just prefer to do so by controlling who gets to be a member of said community.

Re: Vast Underground Make it the "Ultimate Dungeon"; use Keith's map and simply fill each room with four cages and prisoners, most dead, none having anything even remotely resembleing treasure. There are no monsters either. Just jails.

Re: Help! World of Edean Pantheon This week at work I'm going to work on Holy symbols, and God Entries (like Dieties and Demigods) however, I don't think I'll do write ups. Perhaps, but probably not likely.

Re: Help! World of Edean Pantheon Worship: For the most part the twin Pantheons are worshiped as one. The Pact has prevented them from truely revealing what is going on up in the heavens. The various churces have more knowledge than the leymen of the world but even they don't know the whole story. Natural rivalries have occured due to the "Dark Side"s covert and occasionally overt demonstrations of their darker nature. For Example there are many worshipers of Thurakles who due their own desire to win slowly find themselves acting more along Thukeal's tennants. These worshipers might suddenly be visited by the clergy of either or both gods, or have a vision of one of the gods asking them to choose where their spirit of victory will lead them. Most of Thukeal's worshipers aren't evil cheating bastards; but the best one's are. The rivalry between those two churches is fierce, volitile and often ends in violence. The Rivalry between Hyrod and Althon is different. Most rulers have advisors from both churches. They are popular gods with military leaders (along with Thyra and Rayus). Hyrod's church preaches might makes right, Althon's right makes might. Their messages often sound very similar and the two churches, despite an intense (but well hidden) rivalry, work well together. A few of the Dark Gods simply are unable to fit into society: Veshore's tenants of fostering disease and death; Pursheya's willfull and random destruction; Eruthia's darkness, fear, and insanity; Fennick's destruction of knowledge and the truth; Kothos' anger and destruction of ships, Lothoric's constant plotting and open defiance of all the gods; and Otheren's creed of taking from others. These tend to be cult like religions with secret temples and hidden worship. Fennick and Lothoric's fondness of missdirection, lies, and conspiracies lead their churches to attempt development of temples in communities claiming to be worshiping other gods. These ruses are perpetiated for generations before the true clergies can put an end to it. They occasionally help other dark gods get in on this (as open worhip at their temples is better for egos as well as divine power). These two dieties are also blamed (not always correctly) for corruption in other churches.
