> Do modern Pelorians acknowledge the 'classic' (ie God Learnerish)
Celestial Court, or only the one from GRoY?
GRoY, GRoY, GRoY. Or, maybe even more likely - the Entekosiad.
I was surprised at how close GRoY and the Entekosiad were in feel re the Creation and early deities. They just stessed different viewpoints. This could be because:
Point is - GRoY & Entekosiad match, the God Learners account doesn't. Gloranor!
> Are the Lowfires known in Peloria (Oakfed, Gustbran, Mahome)?
I haven't heard them mentioned in either GRoY or Entekosiad, so my guess is that they are not known - or at least not common. They may be known in the more Theyalan areas, but my guess is that they are imports. Those firey areas are more than adequately covered by Enverinus, the fire aspect of Yelm, and by Lodril/Turos.
>Should I take the bit about Yelorna out? The bit about her being worshipped
in Jarst is speculation from my game. She has been otherwise described
as originating in Ralios and Prax.
My impression too - she's Praxian. I wouldn't put her in the Heartlands, but she could have been imported by Arkats' troops or by the EWF. I don't think she's at all common. She may have wierd links to the Ourania cult, but only a God Learner would make much of it.
>DC: I am quite sure that Greg thinks recent Dara Happan architecture has a
distinctly classical bent (more on this in
disgusting detail if anyone cares - just let me know).
As always, please send all disgusting detail my way. (Unless it involves Vadeli.) I had envisioned DH architecture more like Persian or Assyrian. It could have evloved, I guess.
>And I know they don't worship the Emperor in quite the same way as the Romans
did, but the
Red Emperor certainly is worshipped,
Agreed and agreed. The emperor is divine, but I don't think there's evidence of actual worship of him by anything more than a few of those high in the government - and I think that's particular to Moonson, as the son of the RM. I don't think the old DH solar emperors were themselves worshipped, except possibly during a few Yelmic ceremonies.
The DH noble PC's in my Alkoth game are also divine beings - just ask them! But no one worships them. (Alas, how the world has fallen!)
Campaigns in the Lunar Empire -
Don't fall into the trap of thinking the empire is a safe and comfy place. Here is a brief excerpt from the daily log of the Alkoth City Guard, River Gate Post:
"Rounded up all foreigners appearing to be of the Kralori kind, on suspicion of spreading disease. Young Khorvenus/House Urashmallek questioned. Guilty found, taken to Erissa temple. Remainder thrown to Mob, given over to the Purifier."
(This line is the the only record of the decision by the PC's and the watch commander to appease the furious mob by handing them the innocent foreigners. All notes of safe conduct from the Etyries cult were carefully stuffed into the tunics of the foreigners before the crowd tore them to peices.)
Happy Gaming!
