[QUOTE="Blue_Genie, post: 1815906, member: 13477"] Being publicly seen as a devoutly religious person will certainly put you in better standing among the clergy and those Corvisites who regularly attend that church. There will still be plenty of folks, however, who don't know you from Adam, and who will treat you as a member of your race, not as an individual. Note that most citizens of Cygnar aren't necessarily prejudiced against Idrians, it's just that you're different. Given the fact that there are gobbers, trollkin and ogrun walking around, there are a lot more obvious people to be prejudiced against. :) Also, it should be noted that it's actually most Idrians who think they're better than everyone else. According to the IKCG, they can take the optional "jingoistic" flaw (which gives them -2 on all social interactions with all non-Idrians). You can take this if you choose. That works well. Because of recent chaos (especially among the Griffons), the criminal gangs are poorly organized and motivated, so this would be a good time to get out while the getting is good. Usually Pendrake goes himself, accompanied by a few of his best students, as welll as some men-at-arms. The rumor is that his students are tired of getting poisoned, bitten, shot, mangled, chewed, stabbed and having their life essences drained, and don't want to go on Pendrake's expeditions as much anymore. That's where you guys would come in. There are also plenty of other groups that might be interested in what you bring back. Anything dealing with the divine would be of great interest to the Church. Most of the more martial clerics and paladins of Morrow are currently dealing with countering the Protectorate in Southern Cygnar. The rest are currently rebuilding the cathedral of Morrow in Corvis which was burned down during the recent troubles, and therefore have little time to go treasure hunting. Anything arcane would be of great interest to the F.O.W. (Fraternal Order of Wizards) who have a strong presence in Corvis. Then there are hosts of collectors and scholars affiliated loosely (or not at all) with the University who might be interested in any historical artifacts you might uncover, Orgoth or otherwise. He's highly respected as the foremost authority in, and holds the Chair in the Corvis University Department of Extraordinary Zoology. Having said that, most other professors don't have his penchant for "field study," and speak of him as a bit of an oddball, although never to his face. They are content to perform experiments in their labs and give lectures. They do like him for the occasional prestige he brings them. [/QUOTE]
