+ | ====== The Religions of Hann ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Sometimes design takes a turn you weren’t expecting – well, TBH, that is quite a lot of the time for me. I was happily writing up the Green Faith, when I got caught up in the cosmology of it all (Actually there are Powers, Gods and Immortals) | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Universal faiths ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Representatives and followers of these faiths are spread all across the Empire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The Green Faith** – binds Hann together – there are druids and rangers everywhere an every other faith has come to an accommodation with them. Indeed it is a Druid, Oliver Green-Barrel who is Raven King of Heralds and master of the Hann Senate – and Chief Adjudicator of the Empire. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The Old Gods** – My early campaigns used RL deities - from the Celtic, Norse and Finnish pantheons – as interpreted by the early versions of legends and lore. For various reasons they have been replaced with this home-brewed hybrid pantheon that gives the same feel as those early deity. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Major Faiths ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | These are the primary religions of different parts of the Empire – based on the published | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Pathfinder Pantheon** – The core Pathfinder Gods rule in Telida. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **3rd Ed** – the gods from the 3.0 PHB. Simple and straightforward. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Zakharan Pantheon** - Once the Zakharan pantheon were dominant along the far cost, at their followers conquered the lands there on behalf of their Caliph. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Minor Faiths ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | These pantheons represent specific groups of people, rather than whole cultures - people who are outside of the mainstream … | ||
+ | ** | ||
+ | The Temple of the Shrines** – An eclectic collection of demi-gods and philosophies that are associated with Travel and Trading. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The Royal Ancestors** – a closed religion for those people who are direct descendants of the Founders of Porters Bar. Porters Bar has a great beginning story, which involves a Dragon and a half-water-spirit as founders. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Dwarves** - I have discovered a lot of mining settlements (of one sort or another) spread around my world – and I have decided to amalgamate them all as Dwarven Mining towns. | ||

+ | Note 1: The Far Coast is unusual – in that the four main faiths have almost equal influence, across the region. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note 2: The New World represents a number of newly incorporated, | ||

+ | **The Old Gods:** This is a faith in decline. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **The Temple of the Shrines:** A very minor pantheon serving a very niche congregation of travellers and traders, spread mainly by the FFTC. They do not have any ambition to expand beyond that following and are not seen as a risk to any of the other religious groups. | ||
