[QUOTE="John Dallman, post: 9478540, member: 6999616"] The dominant religion on Avalon is Mammon, god of economic success. It has the most worshippers by a very long way. The quantity and level of clerics, paladins and other clerical spell casters that a religion can empower in Avalon is dependent of the number of worshippers. The Church of Mammon rents out part of its clerical capacity to other religions. This is used by spell casters who have achieved higher levels than their religion's worshippers can empower. It also makes money for the Church of Mammon. You can't rent a clerical power level higher than the level you've achieved via earned experience. The five party members worship, respectively, Mammon, Mammon (lapsed). Artemis, Aldrya (from Glorantha) and the somewhat strange Knowing God. The characters who worship Mammon and The Knowing God were created, back in spring 2020, so that the players could learn more about those religions. Some players are interested in the Avalon background. All of those religions except Mammon need to pay Mammon for clerical power. The costs are starting to get significant, and the Paladin broached the idea of going out to try to get some converts. But that involves splitting the party, one way or the other. Our priest of Mammon would obviously rather his comrades didn't try to convert followers of Mammon tol their religions. There are areas on the continent where there aren't many Mammonites, but going out converting people there with a priest of Mammon along carries political implications that the Mammonite countries want to expand there. So we're doing a fetch quest to avoid splitting up, and the priest of Mammon is looking for a smarter solution. [/QUOTE]
