Persistent Religions...

[Shrikey]

I just had an idea today while doing some RP at the event. We persistant guilds and factions, and lots of rules for them, but what about religion? It was a very important aspect of medieval life, lords often consulted priests and the like for advice.

So why don't we start persistant religions? it would be brilliant for RP and consistency. Is it because people think it would be boring? or that they just aren't needed?

We could have hundreds of the much loved heretic hunt, and other mini events. This is an effort to improve our game play, because at the moment, we can all agree that randomers are becoming more and more of a problem.

What I propose is its own rule system, like the persistant guilds, and actually having permenant members.

Ah, cheers for the link. But I think we should actually develop them a bit more. ATM they are just referred to, and have no real weight. Still, this is a discussion, not a proposition.

I rp'd a priest of Laszlo in the International Event. The Tidwells are devoted Laszloists.

 

[Reykjavikdragon]

I was also Rping as a Laszloist, Father Dragon Seaforth of the Order of St Laszlo (basically Militant Priests). In the morning I will write up some RP history for the Order and perhaps what I imagine to be the Structure of the Church of Laszlo.

 

[hirovard]

i think the structure shoule be like


                                                                  Laszlo
                                                                      /\
                                                                  Priests
                                                                  /        \
                                                          EVERY BODY ELSE

included it in my 1st post

It's really already been implemented. And believe me religion does carry weight. You don't want to know how many people have been arrested/killed by Tidwell alone for going against the will of St Laszlo. Although, Tidwell doesn't get agressive if you believe in another religion (we just think your wrong) it's only really if you are anti-Laszloism. I don't know much about other religions in PW. But they all seem to work very similarly when it comes to whether or not a religious conflict will occur.

 

[Eragon91]

The order of the Holy Branch never persecutes believers of the false faiths. We tend to our own, and only take to violence if the heretics interfere in our rituals.

Blood God Worship is mine

 

[Reykjavikdragon]

No The structure I was going at was more like this:

                          High Church (Cardinals, Lectors etc. and the Cathederals)
                              /                                                                                    \
                    Low Church(Local Shrines/Churches/Lowly Priests)      The Order Of St Laszlo [Excomunicated]
                      /                                            \                                      (Militant sect "Warrior Priests" Aka Witch Hunters)
            Plebians (normal people)            Shrine Guardians/Doctors                /                  |                    |                      \
                                /                                (Who follow St Laszlo)  White company  Red company    Black Company    Servants
                                /                                                                                                                                      (Armourers, cooks etc.)
                  Standard Feudal System                                                                     

 

[Lord_Ryizine]

There are many diverse religions within PW, like Blood God worship, the denizens of which belong to the Blood Empire

 

[2ndGrds_Ghost]

Dragon! It's me Julius Aventer. Tell me when the orders made and I'll kinda sign up as a battle priest for the Tidwells. 

 

[Reykjavikdragon]

Well The order is made, make up your own background and away you go but remember this the "High Church" is corrupt and the Order Rebelled but was defeated and exiled from all of swadia, and its now beign hunted down company by company. Oh and White company only has one survivor, I think you can guess who. Thats the Orders lore in a nutshell.

Speaking of Heretics so far my Heretic count is at 34 and that 1 week and a half of work.

Did you just Excommunicate Laszloism? 

 

[2ndGrds_Ghost]

No, he's saying certain heretics excommunicated the Laszloists. He's a laszloist.

Gaham we should murder.

 

[gaham1]

Gahamism has done nothing wrong except cause about 15 geoncides and its not our fault 14 of them were in lazlo nations.

 

[2ndGrds_Ghost]

......

Your screwed.

 

[gaham1]

I mean nations that belive in lazloism we were just getting some land executing everyone. The 15th one was on a gahamian city because of miscommunication they thought it was also a lazlo nation
