[QUOTE="jkason, post: 6256482, member: 2710"] Aw, my poorly concieved orc-who-acts-like-a-dwarf monk. :) Honestly, he worshipped Rogar for the same reason you said of most Dwarf characters: that's the primary Dwarf god, and Saktouk was raised by Dwarves. The Inner Forge monks weren't super religious, though. It was more metaphorical 'burning away impurities from the outside world' stuff, which had more with wanting old power than it did with any specific tenets or tendencies of Rogar. I dug out the old proposal thread if you want to take a look: [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/group.php?do=discuss&gmid=9293]linky[/url] As you'll see there, I didn't even actually mention Rogar. And since it's a monestary, actually, they wouldn't really be focused on learning hammers OR axes, so that doesn't hurt anyone's ideas. Actually, since Monks of the Inner Forge were focused on building an isolationist community for more ancestral power, that seems to fit fairly handily into Systole's suggestion to ditch craftsman/Artifice for Community. Of course, the proposal never actually got enough votes and Saktouk is a distant memory, so it doesn't really hurt anything to retcon it either way as far as I'm concerned. :) [/QUOTE]
