OOC Discussion for Kingdom of Ashes (Leaving Queens, Breaking Swords, & Snake Chicks)

I thought we had enough for Arfin's temple and crypt? I don't know building prices or specs though... L'Aurel's puttin' some towards it, but I just estimated costs- whatever Gertie/Xath wants to put towards whatever is fine with me She'll know the division of everything.... just what she wanted right

My point was-- with his non-weapon equpiment we should be able to MORE than pay for a very nice temple and everything to go along with it... buildings aren't very expensive... and so, Justice wasn't refering to Arfin's temple directly... but the existing temples to the Amistacia and the Apecto.

Mansblade is not available, exactly, so you'll have to figure out a different trade path, if you want to trade, at all.

It was more the joke side... just trying to let them make things more complex

hey so long as you and Gertie know where it's goin' it doesn't make much difference. just knew there where three different temple/churches in the visinity, so just wanted to make sure it got allocated the way Justice and you would want it done..... that was all.

Actually, Justice is in the midst of trying to figure out this whole not Apectan/Amistican religion thing (along with A LOT of other stuff about religion in KoA)... she does love her departed friend Arfin... but, she doesn't know anything about what was up with his religion... if it was just kind of like the Apectan/Amistican orders but with a "lesser" saint or a whole different religion...

Also-- it's time to start a new thread...

Kennon, oh masterful DM, would you do the honors?

If you could let the rest of us in on the secret too once you know... I think we were all just ignoring it or making our own assumptions.

Oh-- it's no secret at all... I just don't know the answers, yet. So, I can't post anything about any of it...

But, you shall know!

Arfin followed Dumathion, who was one of his ancestors. According to Kennon, dwarves mostly follow the light. There are some Apectans, very very few Amastacians, and a heavy dose of ancestor...homage/worship(?). There's also a group of people who follow the way of Arutha Bloodaxe. As of yet, there is no temple to Dumathion in the falcon Kingdom, as he doesn't have a huge following.

Most of what Liz is figuring out (because really, Justice knows this stuff) is the relationship between the two major churches and any minor saints/churches in the kingdom... such as Dumathion.

church

There was no Dumathionian religion. Arfin was (he says) tasked with re-creating one, to help unite the dwarven people. He sorta died before he could real far with that one, though...

The implication was that there had been a religion that revered Dumathion in the past, and that his services may have been needed by mortals, again. OOC, you can know that Dumathion hinted strongly that he was a similar being to Oberon and Tiamat.

IC, you'd only know if Arfin told you, and I don't think he did. As a result, you guys are mostly in the dark (I think) on how to build a temple to Dumathion.

Most of the dwarves are either Apectan, or members of one of the smaller warrior sects that revere Arutha Bloodaxe as a patron of soldiers and dwarves, along with the Apecto and the Amastacia.
