Azwan, God of War and Nobility

Ok, added a little bit of the dogma regarding personal freedom.

As this stands, I vote Yes.

In older polytheistic religions, the gods were open for interpretation because often they were interpretations of natural phenomina, so allowing for some variety among worshipers I don't think is too bad.

Indeed, most religions embraced and accepted different tellings of certain myths, or differences in worship, and they would tack on descriptive or place-name adjectives for the new aspects created, like the Greeks. Only an incredibly evil and controlling religion would label the differences as a heresy or schism and proceed to kill the new guys, and fortunately, Aswan is Lawful Good. Now, for a Lawful Evil LEW deity, beware the mark of heretic!

Indeed, most religions have god(s) who are only "known" through stories retold through the generations. D&D gods, however, make themselves much more evident. I therefore think it a mistake to use the real world as an example for a D&D pantheon in respect to heterodoxy.

In a D&D pantheon, all branches of a faith would be accepted by a Good religion unless the god himself showed his disfavour. That's what makes it easier--instant feedback

I think I can stamp a Yes on this one too

Only an incredibly evil and controlling religion? I could name a few major RL religions that have done so... and I doubt you'd go so far as to name them 'incredibly evil and controlling'.

Oh, you'd be surprised, I think, but I won't do it on this board. I only talk about fantasy religions here I don't have a Circus Maximus account, but if you'd like, we could both sign up and talk about it over there
