The setting of the Keep is supposed to be "on the Borderlands". Past the Keep lies Chaos, humanoids, the outlands... So it's all the wild. The Keep serves to mark/guard the borders of Karameikos.(The old road that goes by the Keep is used extensively by merchants headed to the Emirates of Ylarum, however. They must cross through the outlands to reach the Emirates. Whether we go to the Emirates or not, it's not up to me. It can be woven in, as Alfheim is through our Elven Ranger, for instance)However...It would be helpful IMO to go strictly by formula and have 1 Belief tied directly to the situation (being clear about why Constance wants to go to the Caves of Chaos, like a missing sister?) and a 2nd Belief tied to another character, as the enchanter & elf are woven together.It's not that I dislike the Beliefs you have, but without direct ties to the situation & the party, you may have more challenges bringing them into play.2. Yeah, the base polytheism is all over the place. Mystaran divinity is slightly different because of the "I" portion of BECMI (the Immortals). The Church of Karameikos is governed by 12 immortals, and I'd have to look up the names... but it's a Thyatan invention (the conquering Mannish clan), not the native Traladaran tradition. The Thyatan nobility helped to establish the Church, which seems political & tied to Thyatan governance. That's the tension I'd like to bring out... the ruling foreign nobility (Normans in England? Romans?) versus the native peoples.So I'd see the Pardoner as part of the Church, in its "conquering people" aspect of the "church from Specularum" (the capital of the Grand Duchy of Karameikos), not the native heathen Traladarans, and not necessarily related to one of the 12 immortals.Still thinking about the Forgiven...And I can think of threads to weave in Vanity as the party goes through the Caves of Chaos... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
