Ok then I just subscribed but will need to work out the deity I worship so I can get my favored weapon. I don't think it needs to be anything grand but does need to be military as I have Nobility and War as domains.
So I was thinking of a god of Noble combat. Or the art of chivilarous war, i.e. accept surrender, never excute prisoners, and meet on the field of battle (no gurellia tactics)
What do you think? If you wish to do up your seven concept gods and their isn't one like it I can change the domains. Nothing in stone yet.

Its pretty much make up what you like HolyMan, I'm not too worried if it fits the concepts - I'm sure it can be bludgeoned into one easily enough. If your god is martial it makes sense to take a martial weapon, don't take anything exotic, but otherwise go nuts.
No guerrilla warfare I would steer clear of though, as many adventures could be interpreted that way - such as say this one. It depends on how you define it I suppose, but bear in mind you will effectively be acting within the borders of an enemy power - challenging everyone you see doing wrong to open duels will result in swift death in all probability, etc.

Not nuts it will probably just be longsword. But I thought you were working on an ideal for a country in the LPF world of E'n?
So this "plague lord" would be one of the seven right. Hmmm... Leopold could be from another land altogether. I will work on something (and need to pick spells) and post IC today and be ready for whatever is in the alley.

No, no, no going for seven in Heth, its essentially a Theocracy with everyone worshiping Xarr. I suppose that before Xarr's rise that might have been the case, but I prefer to think they worshiped an array of gods with none having a really firm foothold. I don't think the concept of the seven necessarily needs to mean every religion has a pantheon of those seven alone - to me that would be quite dull - you might have a hundred gods with several in common with neighboring nations, etc. Some gods might be almost universal, etc. I'd also imagine there are other nations which are monotheistic, etc.

Oh yes there can be lots of different religions in a region (or none) But the seven we are hoping are always the core (I think).
But if you have a region that takes and worships different aspects of the aspect you could come up with a hundred religions or more. And then there is elemental worship or minor outer planar creatures. All religions need not have clerics and such just people willing to believe in the same concept and gather together to praise their god/idol.
So the question becomes what powers do the priest have in your region and how do they react to priest of other lands - because I think that is what I am planning for Leopold.

Basically the region only officially worships the Plague Lord and all other religions are underground, more so in the capital than anywhere else. Hence the priests you are meeting are operating underground.
I would say that the typical reaction to priests of other religions is hostile, but unless they are seen openly preaching, etc., they would not be attacked on site. Priests of other gods would not be allowed to set up temples, or try to make converts, etc.

Well then this will be fun as Leopold will want to boldly show the symbols of his god for all to see. And seeing the sword, armor and shield may deter any attacks.
But I think for my opening post he will enter the city covered in a ragged cloak. They need to make contact and so he will do this for mission but once that's complete watch out... LOL
