[QUOTE="Pants, post: 1420655, member: 8849"] In the homebrewed world I'm working on, there is only one god, Anauthor, who represents the purist of good (NG), Justice (LG), and Law (LN). Most people don't really believe that Anauthor exists... at all. Commune spells that are directed toward him either A) Completely fail or B) are redirected to either powerful celestials or one of the champions. Anauthor is served by the Seven Champions, Barachiel, Domiel, Erathaol, Pistis Sophia, Raziel, Sealtiel, and Zaphkiel. They are not gods, but essentially powerful outer-planar beings. Clerics of Anauthor usually choose to follow one of the Champion's dogma. Those who choose to follow Raziel, for example, represent the Crusaders, those who go out and actively pursue evil. Followers of Sealtiel are usually Protectors, they devote their lives to protecting the people. Followers of Pistis Sophia are usually Monks. They seek to achieve a state of moral and physical perfection. They journey to both enlighten themselves and others. Seers, scholars, and loremasters follow the teachings of Erathaol, who seeks the pursuit of knowledge and how it can help the world. Domiel's followers are very similar to those of Raziel, however, they deal more with secrecy, rather than gung-ho crusading. Barachiel's followers seek to rally the spirits of the oppressed and the downtrodden. Zaphkiel is one of the least popular champions. The crede of Zaphkiel's followers is similar to those of Erathaol, only magnified. They usually distance themselves from the world and seem to follow a dogma of 'watch and wait.' Unfortunately, the followers of the champions often disagree vehemently on how to handle situations. Corruption has seeped into the church before as well. During a time known only as 'the crisis,' when the church began a bloody and violent crusade against the various 'cults' that existed on the continent, all clerical power was stripped away from Anauthor's worshippers. After this happened, the church was reformed, and the rule of the Empire was handed to the noble houses. Clerical power was restored shortly afterward. Druids usually either worship the Green Mother (Nature) or they worship the guardinal lords. Some of them also worship the Archomentals or Morwen, Queen of the Fey. Evil people often become cultists of the Devils or the Demons. Others favor the Evil Archomentals. Those are only cults, however as most of the populace revere Anauthor... just not very much. I like pimping my stuff ;) [/QUOTE]
