Amstaad's Religious Sects and Deities:

[inHimshallibe]

OK, if this doesn't need work, shut me down, but I want to generate 7-10 different sects and/or deities.

I like the idea that most of Amstaad believes in one god/goddess, but is split into groups that follow different deities (a hierarchical step below this god). Any thoughts? I'm sure I can add a group that doesn't follow the code of the universal Amstaad figure of worship.

Amstaadian mythology would look something like Greece's: a Zeus figure, with a counsel of lesser deities surrounding, each emphasizing a different aspect of life (the simple and practical, the magickal, luck, power, etc.) What aspects would you like these gods to personify? We could even draft (like the flora and fauna).

We'll tie these to the moons, as well. I think I'm seeing about 4 moons, and each group follows the patterns of 1-3 of these for guidance, divination, and so on.

Awesome. I thought I'd have to do this myself.

Amstaad currently is split up into three major cultural groups (with respect to religion), each with a different influence. These are Tiktuk (African ancestral worship), the Passani (Islam), and the Briaf (European Fantasy). There are a few allusions to the first two in the "Wandering the Old City" thread, but otherwise these are fairly open.

It's possible to break things down even more if desired (having an Elvish or Slith denomination/religion), but nothing in that respect's predetermined (other than that the Elves have enormous respect for trees).

So basically, that's all the information you need to avoid contradicting what's already out there. Go wild.

Hmm, would you still want me to work on this?

[Yaw]

Any help would be great, yeah.

Sorry for not working on this recently -- been way too busy. Hopefully will get back into it as we get towards the summer.

Ok, I'll sit down this weekend and work on this for sure. No procrastination.

A year later... :lol

I'll be editing some stuff in here as I get it finished.
