[QUOTE="Cyclops, post: 1048826, member: 2774"] How about an acropolis in the center of the city. All the grand temples of the older religions are sill there, but now serve as administrative buildings for the new ruling theocracy. building on previous posts, adventures could be infiltrating the acropolis at night and sneaking into an old temple and retreiving a magic item for the church. The older religions planned for the day when the city might be taken over and the greatest treasures could still be hidden behind secret doors. You could make this a Shadow Run type adventure. With hellhound guard dogs, ogre watchmen, and Gov't (corporate) mages. Of course the junior clerics will also be on guard duty. A good party could really stir up an ants nest before they are done. The early Christians met in catacombs beneath Rome. Having secret resistance meetings there could be fun. So could trying to loose city guards in the miles of twisting passageways as well. Gov't necromancers could be an excellent assassination target for the PCs. They would look upon the dead of the old religion as great recruits for the theocracy's armies. The clerics of the resistance would want these guys dead. especially since they keep sending killer zombies into the catacombs to hunt down the resistance. Of course we can't forget; The Inquisition! An Inquisitor would make an excellent foil/recurring enemy for a party. [/QUOTE]
