 The Church of The Old Lords is a relic of an earlier, simpler, time and the faith that went with it.  The Church of The Old Lords promotes a simple rural philosophy that promotes concepts of community and respect based around village life.   The Church of The Old Lords is a relic of an earlier, simpler, time and the faith that went with it.  The Church of The Old Lords promotes a simple rural philosophy that promotes concepts of community and respect based around village life.

 {{ :consolidated:religion:homebrewpantheons:fivefoldcross_old_lords_.png?100|}}There is no formal hierarchy to the church – it is a community religion.  Each village will have its own Wise-Woman or Elder-Man who are guardians of the lore, tends the local shrine, knows the festivals and prayers, and is favoured by the gods.  But communities are more than villages, and there are shrines high up in the mountains and deep in the forests where shepherds and woodsmen tend to meet – and even shines at the side of the road.  {{ :consolidated:religion:homebrewpantheons:fivefoldcross_old_lords_.png?100|}}There is no formal hierarchy to the church – it is a community religion.  Each village will have its own Wise-Woman or Elder-Man who are guardians of the lore, tends the local shrine, knows the festivals and prayers, and is favoured by the gods.  But communities are more than villages, and there are shrines high up in the mountains and deep in the forests where shepherds and woodsmen tend to meet – and even shines at the side of the road. 
-Shrines are often just a rock or small monument with the Five-Fold Cross on it, and aren’t really places for religious gatherings, they are there as a reminder.  Most people glance at them and smile a silent prayer to their gods, other times might touch the shrines lightly.  Sometimes a minor offering might be placed by the shrine, often a small piece of food from a recent meal, or a small amount of a drink spilled on the ground.+Shrines are often just a rock or small monument with the Five-Fold Cross on it, and aren’t really places for religious gatherings, they are there as a reminder.  Most people glance at them and smile a silent prayer to their gods, other times might touch the shrines lightly.  Sometimes a minor offering might be placed by the shrine, often a few crumbs from a recent meal, or a small amount of a drink spilled on the ground - never anything tangible.

 Occasionally a more outwardly focussed cleric will come along - either with a desire to see the wider world, or to take the faith back to the rest of the people.  The Wise-Women and Elder-Men nod their heads wisely as they help the young ones prepare to leave.  But are just as ready to help welcome them back home again, once they have discovered the error of their ways.   Some never come back, of course.  But that might be because they have found another community to serve … Occasionally a more outwardly focussed cleric will come along - either with a desire to see the wider world, or to take the faith back to the rest of the people.  The Wise-Women and Elder-Men nod their heads wisely as they help the young ones prepare to leave.  But are just as ready to help welcome them back home again, once they have discovered the error of their ways.   Some never come back, of course.  But that might be because they have found another community to serve …
  
-===== PC Clerics ===== 
- 
-All PC priests of The Old Lords are Shaman (No Clerics, Druids, Inquisitors, Oracles or other priestly class).  The clerics represent the whole pantheon at once, even though the separate deities are described individually, they do not have clergy of their own.
