[QUOTE="SecondTime, post: 3597851, member: 42381"] Impious behavior could easily be considered more serious in times of war. What if it indicates disloyalty to Thrane? What if it indicates demonic interference? In which case, purging such impious elements could rationalized as a 'means' to the noble ends of the church. Again, there are a thousand rationalizations, and the book does not need to waste space outlining them all. spell them out, and has already stated multiple radical factions with their own rationalizations were probably. It is also simply possible that the Thranes did were simply being human and forgetting about their faith in the context of a specific upheaval. Really? Where in the book does it say this? Isn't it simply more likely the case that Thrane's transgressions are cited more because they are notable. Besides which, Thrane was not just in a state of war but was undergoing regime change. The lack of order and inevitable political controversies are bound to lead to increased violence all other things being equal. The view is balanced by the text in 5 nations and faiths of eberron which goes to pains to stress that most people in Thrane attempt to act in accordance with faith and tend to be tolerant. Of course, as I've states MULTIPLE TIMES, what actions are consistent with dogma are not always easy to decipher when one looks at particular circumstances. The reason why the excesses are emphasized in source books is because they are interesting given Thrane repuation for being good. It's about drama. Try to understand.... [/QUOTE]
