[QUOTE="DalkonCledwin, post: 5901215, member: 6680145"] You do of course realize that Oracles don't explicitly HAVE to worship a deity? If I really wanted to make a case for playing a Dark Tapestry Oracle I could simply say the character worships the ideals of Insanity itself and have him be aligned as Chaotic Neutral or heck even Chaotic Good. This said however, my question was geared more towards the existence of the Dark Tapestry and how it affects the Religions of the world setting, and whether there were any way to justify having player characters of such an affiliation. Outlawing the Deities while limiting people who have access to the Cleric Domain of the Dark Tapestry, should not however be able to limit the Oracles who have access to the Mystery of the Dark Tapestry for the simple reason that unlike Clerics, I don't think Oracles are actually bound to be the same alignment as the deity that they worship at all. For example, it is from what I am reading in the SRD, entirely possible to have a Lawful Good character who worships Cthulu and has access to the Dark Tapestry, so long as that character is an Oracle and not a Cleric. Though with regard to your points about those Source Books... I am pretty certain that 99% of the source material is actually derivative work based on H.P. Lovecraft's the Call of Cthulhu Mythos and as such the whole "ban it simply because it is in a Golarion Specific Book" just simply does not apply here. And there is actually at least one instance of a Chaotic Neutral Deity (who actually happens to be one of the stronger deities in the pantheon) worship of which would open up the possibility of being Chaotic Good in effect!
