I've decided that for my next DnD campaign, I'll run a homebrew setting that has been in my head for many years. It was actually something that I co-created for a larp campaign. The larp didn't happen so I got stuck with an incredible setting in my head that I couldn't get rid of.
Most of the known world was ruled by an oppressive and excessive theocratic empire. That empire fell when the gods stopped speaking to the world and it's denizens. That incident is call the Great Silence. It's easy to believe when you can actually see, touch and feel the god's presence. But once they left, they created a void that was replaced by false prophets and funky cults.
800 years later, the old gods are forgotten.
One of my player asked to play a cleric of one of the old gods. We talked about it and both thought it would be could to discover in-game the full extent of his religion.
Since then, I had a brain fart. How do you gradually reveal the god's meaning, philosophies and practices? I'm not sure how to do that in-game. I'm accustomed to big and well organized clergies. It would be simple to give the character a mentor, but I want something more instrospective.
If you have suggestions, please send them.
