Greetings!
Whoring Religion Before The Throne: Religion In Bed With Politics
Real world political-religious history removed - Plane Sailing
Throughout history, religion has always had close ties with the ruling powers and government. In looking at a campaign, at your campaign—how do you develop the different relationships between religion A, and the government, and religion B, and the government? How does one religion gain precedence and favour over all of the other religions? Or perhaps they do not gain precedence or some form of official preference by the ruling powers or the king. However, do the religions in your campaign attempt to do so? How do they tempt the ruler to favour them, and oppress their opponents? Does the king in whatever corner of your campaign favour one religion over another? If the king or queen does favour one over another, does that reality have any impact on the campaign environment? How do these influences affect the local religious community in question, and perhaps even the player characters?
Semper Fidelis,
