Rather than explain what Solace is, I think the Rokari would be more concerned
with showing people what happens to them after they die. They can't show them
Solace but they can show them visions of other places and there are two other
planes which can be shown.
/// Ah, so you cannot SEE Solace, you cannot imagine it, you can build no mental
representation of it. Mmh. It' a hard sell to common folks then.
One could borrow from Dante's Paradiso which has the heavenly citizens based on
certain planets according to their station in life as well as the highest
heaven. So if a Rokari wants to provide assurance to his congregation then all
he has to do is cast a spell and show them a vision or the virtuous dead and
even speak to one of them about how life is in the afterlife (stained glass
windows and ornate frescos will make the job easier).
/// But surely these shades wouldn't be in / of Solace then ? And didn't we
agree that malkioni dead cannot be contacted at all ? I like your imagery but
cannot reconcile it with rokari creed.
And then as the stick, there's numerous representations of Hell in which various
sinners (Orlanthi, Loskalmi etc) are shown suffering the most horrific of
torments.
/// Oh, I was always pretty sure rokari churchmen were big on showing terrifying
shots of un-solace afterwards. It's their notion of Reward I'm trying to
visualize !
