[QUOTE="Psychotic Jim, post: 5160145, member: 547"] Hmm, Kinship and Community, and an astrologer... Hmm. Maybe one night while stargazing, the priest stumbles upon a child, perhaps someone who came from a falling star?. Due to some strange whim of the eccentric priest, he has seen raising the child as his duty, at least until he can find a safe place/family for the child to live. However, the rest of the community would not approve of the priest raising the child. If they found out, they might have the child banished from the village, taken away, or worse. This could be for a number of possible reasons. Perhaps it is because the strange child just appeared out of nowhere, and is not part of the recognized kinship networks or social castes. Or maybe the child fell from the sky and signals the end of the world. Or for something truly twisted, the child may have some truly alien ancestry like something from the Far Realms or the Cthulhu Mythos. Then again, perhaps the boy is perfectly normal but was abandoned. Or perhaps the child is a product of the priest's or somebody else's affair. This irony here is that these more "realistic" options don't have to keep the community from thinking any of the ideas in the paragaph above apply to this child. [/QUOTE]
