[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 936843, member: 151"] Not being very FR-knowledgable, I have a question. I was playing a NWN campaign called Shadowlands (a fairly good module, though it's not as good as Dueleez's work). During the second module, you come to a town that has two temples...one is the goody goddess, LLiiraa (or something similar) and other is temple called Fist of the Future, dedicated to Cyric. The author appears to know a good deal more about the realms than I (the first module being a conflict between the Zhents and Red Shields). So here's the question: Cyric is a god of murder, correct? How does reach anything resembling respectable worship in a community? I can understand an evil, underground cult...but I gather that a public 'temple' to Cyric is not uncommon, or at least unknown. Why? Do you pay tribute so Cyric will ignore you? I assume it's just my lack of FR knowledge that explains how he fits in. Oh, and I'd appreciate if we could stay on the topic, here. If you don't prefer FR as a setting, that's fine...but I don't really need an argument over the merit of settings, here. FR isn't my first choice for settings, which is part of the reason I'm asking for folks to enlighten me. [/QUOTE]
