Call to the Four Lands

[Rhun]

It's a good thing you equate Vadric to Cardiel or Istelyn, cause Finnian might just be even more troublesome than Alaric and Duncan were.

That's a lot of trouble then, especially in the first three books. After that, Alaric learns to behave himself and Duncan becomes the trouble maker! LOL.

And unfortunately, there is no king to protect Vadric! Yikes!

As you've said you have read the Deryni series, I am trying to play Vadric as more like an Cardiel or Istelyn, and not anything like a Loris or Gorony (as I said earlier, I see a lot of parallels in the settings ).

The whosy-whatsie now?

No clue with that. But I have been trying to keep Modjan's allegiances on the down low, till some people have to bring it up in polite company.

But Modjan isn't overt about religion at all and participates in Light rituals both to "Do as the Romans do" as well as Pascal's Wager since he's a warrior first and takes whatever insurance he can.

A series of novels, by Katherine Kurtz. Basically, there is a race known as the Deryni who are effectively sorcerers. They are indistinguishable from humans, but the Church basically pursues them all as heathens and criminals.

Oh, sounds horrible for the sorcerers! Hey, wait a minute!....

Lets just say that in this world you guys may be in a pack of trouble...remember Istelyn was burned by two fellow bishops and that Cardinal was almost assissinated by his fellow bishops ....For reference remember that the church is controlled by a single prelate elected by a council of patariachs each with national, idealogical and personal agendas. The day to day goverance of the valley is done by bishops and that even bishops outside the valley proper weild great influnce with their local lord and king.


For Jaroth
[sblock]yes your answers were pretty much on the money, the elder druids to the best of your knowledge are trying to establish a network of advisors/diplomates in the various human and racial kingdoms in order to open communication and understanding among the races...think of the difficulties of the first druid council at panaor and all the racial problems it encounterd....you are even pre first council so the elder druids have a difficult task. The only good thing is that the elves and dwarfs have their own druid councils which maintain contact with the human ones...this is about the extent of interaction and is more than the valley and human kingdoms have other than trade relations with the dwarves.[/sblock]

Oh, I haven't forgotten.

Istelyn was actually hung and then drawn and quartered. They tried to burn Duncan, after torturing him. Alaric too. LOL.

This is definitely going to be an interesting game. I hope Vadric doesn't get burned at the stake!

Correcting the dm already (makeing a note in book next to Rhun). Your right i had forgetten that but now remeber the context and that he was strong enough in his faith to die with a smile on his face and at peace..even after the terrible suffering.....Think any of your characters are strong enough in their faith to do that .......

Then again there are still a couple of upset Elder Dragons that you guys need to meet

By the way the church does have several religious orders devoted to sniffing out magic and punishing heretics .........

Guys
If you could give me a rough idea of the times you are most likely to post (CST) so that i will have an idea as to move the action on. So far it seems to be working out with us devoting time in the day to character interaction and then moving the game on late that night so people can read and post the following day...

Thanks

I'm usually online in the late night hours Central Time. My daytime access is limited. It just happens that I've been able to spend more time this last week than normal. It is extremely rare when I'm available to go online in the evenings.

I'm also in CST.
I'll check the boards in the morning before I go to work. Sometimes I have time to send a quick post in the morning.
I generally have time to read and respond in the evening a couple of times.
I usually go to bed around 10-11pm but there are exceptions.
Weekends are open and I'll respond to posts periodically throughout the day.
