Message: <blockquote data-quote="Asathas" data-source="post: 481024" data-attributes="member: 2229">I'm running a campaign like this nowI'm actually running a campaign in a polytheistic Europe right now... based in 1514 (during the Spanish Inquisition).  For reference, I'm using the deities in The Book of the Righteous as my pantheon.  And remarkably enough, it's working beautifully.Europe in that time period had three primary religions... Christianity, Judaisim, and Islam.  To make this work for my campaign, I established Christianity as being equivalent to the Great Church in BotR (which means they observe all the "good" gods).  Judaism worships the Unnamed One (the main creator god in BotR) and claims the other deities are his prime servants.  Islam reverences all of the deities, good and evil alike (even if only to ward off the attentions of the evil deities).The variances in their observances of the deities set up the reasons involved for the Crusades.  By the way, Jerusalem is still the holy site for all three as it's the location for the Tree of Life and where the deities gathered before leaving their physical presence on the world via the Compact (which occurred at 1AD... After Departure with BC meaning Before Compact).Of course I've also done a few other tweaks such as the Huns/Mongols/Turks being predominately goblinoid; Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon, is elvish and Henry's tie to the elves of England; and dragons being both rare and powerful are major players behind the scenes who's births and deaths are known the world over when they occur (Vesuvius erupted because of the birth of a dragon on the mountain there).</blockquote>
