[QUOTE="LoneWolf23, post: 1059896, member: 643"] Haven't worked out those details yet. I'm thinking of having variant churches in different kingdoms, with at least one being a corrupt Lawful Evil variation holding power and persecuting all heretics (or just anyone who challenges the power-hungry clergy). The Supreme Creator Himself could possibly be True Neutral, leaving mortal churches to interprete the "Submission to the One God" deal according to their traditions/desires. One nation may have decentralized, Chaotic Neutral organisation while another may be Neutral Good, depending on how they interprete the religion's canon. Those are more of those "details I haven't worked out yet". Sacrifices and Worship Rites would probably be the divine equivalent of taxation. Just as the mortals perform worship on the lesser deities, so to must the deities worship the Supreme Creator. Churches/temples would be focused on the Supreme Creator first, the founding order's Patron God second and the local deities next. The realms of the dead would be operated by another lesser deity. He would be a clerical type who, with the aid of a deity of judgement, would send souls to Heaven or cast them into Hell. There would be less of an emphasis on a Blood War between Demons and Devils, and more on a war between the Deities and the Fiends who seek to usurp creation from them and from mortal-kind. They would still be an incredibly fractious lot, just as likely to plot and wage war with one another then with the gods. It's basically one of the "Evil Plane Variants" from Book of Vile Darkness p 124: the words demon and devil would be synonyms, with Clan names such as Tanar'ri, Ba'atezu, Yugoloth and other terms holding more value for fiend identification.
