[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7698100, member: 1"] Back in the early days D&D 3rd Edition, Green Ronin released two books for the game which I adored and still have to this day. One was the [I]Book of Fiends: Legions of Hell[/I] (a supplement which was followed up by[I] Armies of the Abyss[/I]). The other was Aaron Loeb's [I]Book of the Righteous[/I], an enormous 300+ page tome crammed full of religions to use in your D&D game. It detailed the churches, the rituals, the beliefs, and more behind a detailed pantheon of over 20 churches. [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK][CENTER] [ATTACH=FULL]110475[/ATTACH] [/CENTER] [HQ]UPDATE: [/HQ][URL="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1780208966/book-of-the-righteous-for-fifth-edition"]This Kickstarter is now live[/URL]. So the book is coming to Kickstarter soon, and the new rules material will be written by Robert J. Schwalb, one of D&D 5E's designers (Schwalb produces his own current RPG, [I]Shadow of the Demon Lord[/I]). Green Ronin, of course, is the company which brought you [I]Out of the Abyss[/I] for D&D 5E. This book definitely won't be lacking in 5th Edition pedigree! The original version contained these religions, each detailed with a half dozen pages on myths, workings, churches, orders, and more. [B]The Old Gods. [/B]The Eyes of Urian, The Foundations of Rontra, The Basins of Shalimyr, The Druids of Eliwyn, The Followers of the Nameless One. [B]The Gods of the Tree. [/B]The Healing Halls of Morwyn, The Temples of Terak, The Vineyards of Zheenkeef, The Scriptoriums of Tinel, The Sacristies of Mormelcar. [B]The Gods of the Womb.

[B]The Evil Gods. [/B]Asmodeus, Canarak, Hellos, Naran, plus some evil and heretical cults. The original book also contained an overall cosmology, using religions in a campaign, and a bunch of rules including feats, spells, domains, magic items, artifacts, and creatures. Below is a peek at the [I]D&D 3rd Edition[/I] version, detailing one of the churches in the book. You can look at the [URL="http://freeronin.com/gr_files/botr_web_pre02.pdf"]whole 11-page church here[/URL] (PDF); below is just a couple of excerpts. Obviously the 5E version will be redesigned for the current game and if Kickstarter does it's usual thing might have awesome stretch goals for new colour art and cool stuff like that (just conjecture on my part).
