[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 4861803, member: 64945"] Interesting contrast here between Valhyr and Surtyr... as Don notes the people in Valhyr would likely view the gods as betrayers. Folk in Surtyr know about what happened in their ancestral homeland, so the gods would likely have taken a popularity hit there, too. However, now in Surtyr they are under threat from Far Realm sources, which is traditionally something that primal types have defended against. So followers of the gods there might see an opportunity to gain back a little ground - "the druids haven't been able to stop this, now it's our turn!" It wouldn't be as clear cut as all that in all cases, and the primal types are still fighting back. But still, could be an interesting theme! Religion and the "Seaborn" on the refugee ships could also be interesting. They may not really remember what they are fleeing from, so they might not have the same bad feelings about the gods... but then again, they might not really remember the gods, either! They might have made up some of their own... aquatic representatives of Poseidon would probably also have done some evangelizing. An invoker of one of their old gods born into that situation would be a cool background. "No really, there's this god Thor we all used to worship, and... no, really, Thor is real! You don't believe me? Stand back!" ***BOOOM*** "Ok, that was a polite cough from Thor, now do you believe?" [/QUOTE]
