It is perfectly acceptable for your character to take a tolerant view especially as the characters are working towards what will be a common goal for the common good. Having said that rember that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. While your actions may actually further the cause of the Light or or the Old Religion, other mebmers of the faith may not see it as such. For example your tolerance of a pagan could condem you before a rabid bishop and you wuold have no recourse from his authority unless you resoted to trial by combat or an appeal to a higher authority whcih could take months to decide. Think back to how powerful a bishop or even some abbots were in medevial europe, their word was law an only subject to being overridden by a superior who more often than not did not want to pick a fight with his subordinae. Likewise, a member of the old religion could well find himself and his friend both placed in a WICKER MAN and set aflame by an equally rabid grand druid. What religious tolerance there is is more or less out of mutual necessity. The Church of the light devotes most of it's resoruces to combating the elves and dwarves and the rebellious monarch of the southland not to mention the pagan D'shai empire while the Borderlands and Old Forrest are using their strength to turn back the Northalnds. So to sum it up, it is a mess. Be carful as you never know when a nasty evil dm rolling random dice may get a great roll and give you grief over what is a perfectly innoncent conversation that happens to be overheard by the wrong ears. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I will try to and pull the notes I have on the Religous problems etc and put them in the Four Lands Document sometime soon. But for now you guys are doing a great job with limited information in a very complex world....I have not said much while it was developing as i did not want you guys to feel that the dm was being heavy handed or overbearing or dictating how you should play or develope your characters persona. As a group were still relatively new in figuring out our dynamics....but from the feedback and questions i am geeting I have the pleseant feeling that I am going to be able to make you guys miserable for a long time <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />J.</blockquote>
