In developing the history of a new region of my campaign world, I'm thinking about introducing snake worship as part of the dominant religion. However, this custom would only have been introduced into this area about 150 years ago, at most. Would that be enough time to bring it into common acceptance across the population? The initial influx of snake-worshippers were twofold; one was members of an evil cult who were driven underground and are still hunted and destroyed, but the second was a group of peaceful refugees (the whole region was populated by refugees during the previous 50 year timespan), who brought important and well-recieved skills with them to the region, so their worship was seen, at that time, as being "odd but acceptable"...
What are your opinions, EnWorld? Could a whole kingdom become devout snake-worshippers in 150 years? Or would the belief still be fringe? Or something else?
