[QUOTE="seasong, post: 1057216, member: 5137"] [b]Re: It was the time of..................[/b] Technically, She [i]requested[/i] a shrine, but Merideth [i]built[/i] a temple ;). Hsethmah didn't actually ask for a temple: "I ask that my children be given the dark places, the cracks and shadows of your world, that they be respected, and that the darkness is given to me to watch over." In non-divinese, He was essentially asking for dominion (within the Theralis region) over the dark places of earth and stone. This is an age-old compact between Hsethmah and the people in the past, when the people would give him those places he needed to hunt the Dark, and in return he fed upon those things that plagued the people. This compact has a powerful impact on the war with the orcs, oddly enough. I loved roleplaying this out. Aside form Greppa looking shaken and disturbed, playing Luccas gave me the excuse to leaven my voice with barely contained passion, and to look the players in the eye and say in a dramatic voice, "On this I shall not bend" and "I will not bargain with a traitor". [b]A few other notes[/b] When I introduced Corvidae, I deliberately catered to much of what Merideth wanted. She was beautiful and serene, and standing in a heroic pose while Her million-raven posse blew by like a hurricane. Her entrance was dramatic, Her eyes were fierce and black, and She radiated as much [i]presence[/i] as I could muster. Plus, with the hints of what She was goddess of (war, wisdom, prophecy), it was like pounding the keyboard of Merideth's buttons. On top of that, gods are just Awe inspiring, and you know Merideth wanted a piece of that. After they'd met Corvidae, I don't think Allas was really an issue for Merideth anymore. Regarding Dianas: The priests initial words were actually "Those who stand in Her [Allas'] path have a history of losing." It was as close to complicity as the priest was willing to get (essentially, if you win, we'll support you, but there's no way we're risking it otherwise). [/QUOTE]
