[QUOTE="Cheiromancer, post: 2376422, member: 141"] BTW, thanks for the positive feedback. :D It is nice to get encouragement for stuff. Even if someone doesn't have anything in particular to say, a "good job" really helps. Of course, if someone just wishes I would shut up they wouldn't post a "good job" comment... :uhoh: One thing that strikes me as odd about the recent shift in the Church of Oronthon is the culture shock that must be occuring in the religious culture of Wyre. The relaxing of all the old norms about orthodoxy and discipline is like jumping from medieval Europe to modern times in what, a year or two? Simple, pious peasants must be having a terrible time processing the changes. I half expect there to be a backlash- a splinter church that claims that Tramst is a false prophet and tries to re-establish the Church. Who knows? From their perspective they may be right. Of course, the presence of celestials tends to corroborate Tramst's claims. Now if *other* celestials show up (maybe claiming to be the "real" Rintrah and Urthoon) and denounce Tramst as an imposter.... Too weird? Or an interesting premise for LG vs LG conflict? I wonder if any of this would invite new game mechanics. An "old time religion" or "orthodoxy" feat, say. [/QUOTE]
