[ARCHIVE][REFER] Religion and Gods

[bloberis]

Since Umune and I together are apparently an unstoppable force of new ideas, we decided to flesh out the religions. We decided to get simpler, because its easier. This is unofficial until it gets the Ash stamp of approval, but he'll probably like it.

So here's how it works: There's one pantheon, one set of gods. They are real, and proven to be so, but because there are few people in Skalas and some people have lost faith, their influence is not easily noticed. One god for each race, that race was created by its patron god. That doesn't mean a human can't pray to the wora god, because they represent more than their race. They are unnamed, but we have a general personality to each one. They are also decently cliche, but cliche works well with gods, and as Umune said during the conversation "Things are cliche for a reason."

TL;DR for the first part: These are the gods.

Jaska god: God of water, storms, and the moon.
Pesonality: Temperamental woman.

Wora god: God of sun, war, and crafting.
Personality: Violent, cunning male.

Elf god: God of nature and magic.
Personality: Wise old man.
(This one is really cliche.)

Human god: God of civilization and innovation.
Personality: Ambitious woman.

Sounds good to me. Human god FTW

[bloberis]

I forgot to explain something: Races can worship gods that aren't of their race. Sailors often pray to the Jaska god, warriors and craftsmen to the Wora god, mages and probably farmers to the elf god, merchants and scientists to the human god. Really anybody can pray to any god they want.

Sounds good, it's more organized than TJRP. I love how developed This server has already become.

[scud47]

I love how you Capitalize words in the middle of your sentences. It reminds me Of Clue. Also, this is much Less organized than TJRP.

[splamzloard]

Actually scud, considering how long this server has been around, I think it's WAY more organised. I like these gods, but because Jarvan and Garen are from Demacia, they don't believe in these gods I don't think.

Considering I was typing on an iPad, it's an acceptable mistake.

[scud47]

It would have been Forgivable if you were using an iPhone. As it Is, it fails.

Eating with one hand while typing with the other one on an iPad....

Acceptable to accidentally hit the shift button whilst typing.

[splamzloard]

Nice two fragments you got there.

I don't want all races to have gods. No gods at all is optimal. Look what happened to TJRP when we introduced gods. For example, elves simply respect and tend to nature.

Gods should be fine as long as they

• don't take part in RP.
  
• don't take part in RP.
  
• don't turn ordinary people into lords of time.
  

[catplanetcatplanet]

Um, yeah.

[purelamb]

Scud did make a few good points there.

[ashtheking]

1. If they don't take part in RP, what's the point of them existing. If you mean that they don't become actual Characters, that's fine.

3. *starts writing AWoT* ---- sandwich that, I don't feel like arguing.
