Whoa! You've got many characters Fayt. Maybe I could make more (don't worry no gods)

[Mad Mask]

The wiki has a page for gods that are specifically mentioned at points, but I tend to consider all of the D&D 3.5 gods as present in one form or another. The very nature of ABR means that there'll be someone somewhere in the Avbaroy multiverse that worships something.

In Avbaroy, most humans worship either the Supreme Being, God the Father Dragon, or are pagans and worship D&D or other gods.

There's probably a sect of the Cheddar Lord fighting a losing war against the Brie King cult somewhere.

Until the Brie have outgrown such silly superstitions and go out in space to fight cheddars with rubber foreheads.

In Avbaroy, most humans worship either the Supreme Being, God the Father Dragon, or are pagans and worship D&D or other gods.

So they either follow one of those two religions, or a polytheistic one? I'm fairly certain there would be a couple of other monotheistic ones.

[Nameless]

Would following the Dragon God involve going to a building every Sunday?

Besides... Wulf-Graydon is a double Barreled name

Actually, several religions are based around the worship of the Supreme Being and God the Father Dragon, about three for each god. For the Supreme Being, there is Toclism, Bluism, Samianism and several less important sects, lumped into a group called the Percillian Religions, for God, there is Traditional Draconism, Orthodox Draconism and Koboldism, lumped into a group called the Hordian Religions.

The Percillian Religions are based on dualism and the Supreme Being, but they have key differences. Bluists believe that two demiurges created the world, one good (the Supreme Being) and one evil. Toclists believe that the two demiurge don't exist, and the Supreme Being exists as two persons (one good, one evil) but one being, symbolising the good/evil struggle in mankind. Samianists believe the above are all wrong and the Supreme Being created the evil aspect, originally good, but it rebelled against him. But these three religions all say that mankind has a good side and a dark side, and to attain the Heavens, you must cast out your dark side, whether it is by a religious ceremony or going on a crusade.

[Keris]

So, if the religions you described are polytheistic, then they are all pagan, which means you contradicted yourself in your last post.

[CrimsonAngel]

Time for Chris's second character! *alarms*


Name: Jauce
Class: Bard/paladin
God: Sune
Race: Human
Abilities: He charges in on his holy paladin mount* and the enemy either gets eatin, or chopped in two. His bard music boosts the energy of everyone around him and also makes him stronger.
Backstory: As a paladin of law and order, He decided to join the UNA in hopes of ending the chaos.He came from a castle were there were other Sune worshipers, but sadly, it was taken over by an army of almost every monster ever concieved.

* *Goes of to make holy paladin mount. Any suggestions on what it should be?

May I ask what role the Toves played in this battle?

[Mad Mask]

The "pagan" religions are called so because they originated before the Percillian Religions spread to the world. And the Percillian Religions are more dualistic than anything, while the Hordian ones are monotheistic.

[Shades of Gray]

Hey Crim, when I said "Paladin of Sune" in SMBG, I was referring to an actual D&D god... Not sure if you know. Linky.

Paladins and servants of Sune are usually very attractive. Hence why in GB week I said it.

[CrimsonAngel]

They threw stuff at the south wall. Eggs, rocks, mud, and what not.

@SoG: He's a bard, he's gotta be hot.

So basically, it's a reference to what we have in the real world?

Just the Crusades and schism parts. But almost all religions do that...

Ah, now we're getting into a semantics discussion! Excellent.

"Pagan" is a term used to describe non (Judeo-)Christian religion, and was derived from the Latin paganus, meaning "peasant".

While it may be plausible that a comparable term arose in Avbaroy, it was not unreasonable for me to assume you meant pagan in the English usage, and so any polytheistic religion is pagan.

They threw stuff at the south wall. Eggs, rocks, mud, and what not.

How? They have no manipulatory appendages, being quadrupedal.

[CrimsonAngel]

They realized this later and ran away, only to be roasted and eaten by a paladin.

Thanks, I didn't know that. Must be the thing with being a non-native English speaker.

Now that this matter is cleared, I'm going to make a Fat Fish Fury comic that will really advance the plot.

[Szilard]

So... when was it decided to have these gods? What happened to Plotus and that other one?

[Mad Mask]

So... when was it decided to have these gods? What happened to Plotus and that other one?

All the other gods still exist. It's just that the majority of human worships either one of those gods.

[Szilard]

Okay, but when was this decided upon?

[Shades of Gray]

Well, Lying's character worships Boccob. And Fayte has been deity of fate for a while... Ovu Monobi is a demigod, I think.

Plotus and Plot are still there.

[Nameless]

Just the Crusades and schism parts. But almost all religions do that...

And there being three majour religions following the same God.

[Green-Shirt Q]

@Kpenquin: I'm a tad more uncomfortable with Homosexual people than Q. *Continues looking for Tom Shaer, with a sniper rifle*

I'm not uncomfortable with homosexual people. One of my best friends is homosexual, whom I've been great friends with for years.

I'm only uncomfortable with people who annonce I'm their boyfriend.

For example, if Lying announced he was homosexual on these forums, I wouldn't be uncomfortable or even surprised.

If he said I was "interwebz boyfriend" I would seriously random kill him with everything I could.

Nameless gets off without a random kill because I like him a little.

Yay I'm kinda liked.
Does this mean you don't like Lying? Huh? HUH?!? O_e
