[QUOTE="Nephtys, post: 3375567, member: 31780"] I simply assumed that just like Thef'chu Nefut with the Domain of the Dead was unable to take the followers of other deities to her afterlife so would Bea'ral be unable to affect the divine magic of other deities. If Llama decides otherwise I can only congratulate you, because all other deities are then almost completely powerless. You'll notice that Voidrazors followers resisted all the effects of your action, for both arcane and divine magic as well as their own spell like and supernatural abilities. And I doubt that the other deities will simply accept your power over their followers without discussion. After all, the elves and elementals are as dependant upon magic as the goblins if not more so. So we should not contradict one another IC? We should just go along with any action any of us decide no matter how outrageous when it directly concerns our own followers. So if I was to write that one of the fragments of the moon was to fall to earth and just happen to crush the Elven city and everyone in it you'd all be ok with that? You'd all simply continue the story from that point? - My point about the Goblins is that even if you could shut down both arcane and divine magic for 100 years the politically dominant priesthood would still be in charge of things locally, and since the priests can still communicate with their deity trough prayer they will still know her will. They know that when they die they will still belong to her, so they wouldn't disobey her. Just think of how powerful the idea of God is in the real world, where the existence of the divine is unproven. And then consider how faithful people who have been living in a theocratic society for a thousand years in direct contact with their deity would be, when they know she will show no mercy for any failure to obey her will. Consider how obedient those little sheep would be, when in the real world people blow themselves up for far less. [/QUOTE]
