Message: <blockquote data-quote="Baron Opal" data-source="post: 5298601" data-attributes="member: 10433">I imagine that it will depend greatly on what Tramst and Eadric say to the laity.If I remember correctly, Tramst is the Sela, the Voice of God, and Eadric is ... Something, the Breath of God. While Eadric has been fairly hesitant on preaching any dogma, its been documented that people have been watching him and following his lead. Tramst has been pretty inscrutible, leading through koan and parable. This leaves Eadric as probably the most approachable and comprehendable religious figure.To me, Oronthon is allowing people the opportunity to have a faith that can be mystical (saizan) or one that focusses on the Now (Viridity) as well as their traditional monotheism. Wasn't it Eintharmon Thrice Magnified who waltzed into Nahael's prison, healed her and brought her to the Tree? This process seems to have been initiated by Deity rather than other powers. I don't think anyone knows that, however, except us the readers.Even so, the PCs seem to be willing to "play by the rules", whether it is for their benefit (Ortwine, Mostin) or society's (Eadric, Nwm). The Chesnite Immortals seem to have a disdain for "the rules" and opted for tying themselves to a power that by definition breaks or obviates the rules (cthonics).You know, how is the Tree's edict going to effect Ortwine when she tries to return to Afqithan or her new pantheon's plane? "Faerie" as a power or realm has only barely been touched on it seems. We know a heck of a lot more about Hell or Dream than we do about Faerie. Hmm...</blockquote>
