[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 8420150, member: 42582"] You're just making this up. It's got no textual foundation. I've quote the relevant texts over close to 20 years of publication. None of it supports this claim. It creates a picture of a land ruled by domineering priests who force obedience from those who don't obey willingly. Again, you're just making this up. In Nyrond they pray to Heironeous. In Urnst (if I'm remembering rightly) they pray to Tritherion. Some warriors will obviously pray to St Cuthbert, others to Pholtus, others to Mayaheine. Your claims have no textual basis, and in fact run contrary to what the texts state and imply. And again, this is all just you making stuff up. Nowhere does the Greyhawk material say this. None of it suggests that people pray to Nerull to prolong life. He is the Foe of all Good and the Hater of Life. To prolong life people pray to nice gods like (again) St Cuthbert, or Pelor, perhaps Rao, or even Istus. Similarly when it comes to disease and famine. Furthermore, it's contradictory. People pray to Incabulos to relieve disease, and Nerull to hold off death, you say, but no one prays to Iuz to ward off pain and oppression? Your own theory is incoherent! [/QUOTE]
