For you, it makes sense for the gods to punish the faithless with the Wall, even if only as a deterrent to keep their system going. Basically to say, worship at least one of us, or else it's the Wall for you.Which is all well and good. I think the question that [MENTION=2067]I'm A Banana[/MENTION] had was how the good deities of the Realms could support such a system. For purely good beings, would worship be required? Wouldn't they prefer you choose to believe in them or worship them because you believe in the ideas that they personify, not because you don't want to wind up in the wall.A character would worship Torm because that characters believes in the cause of justice, not because the character was afraid of the Wall. And you would think that as a Good deity, devoted to the causes of justice and loyalty would not allow souls who furthered their cause to suffer for eternity just because he did not do so in Torm's name.It seems a very flawed system and as interesting as it is, I'd much rather read about folks challenging the system rather than simply accept it as being correct and just, whether the characters are the likes of Torm and Kelemvor, or simple  mortal adventurers.</blockquote>
