about the gods...

Post by Toes »

is there a choice to believe in the christian god, or do we have to go with the "elder gods" and "Older gods" thing?

There is no such thing as Christianity in this game. The "gods" so to speak have proven their existence and appear and do things. There is no real question to whether they exist or not for most characters.

As you can see theres younger and older, most characters worship the younger gods. It doesn't require YOU to worship this "god" (illarion is not a cult), but only your character whom lives in a fictional world and even then it is their choice. This is a fundament of separation of ooc and ic, out of character and in character. You are not your character.

The question makes no sense at all...

The calander of illarion works differently, there are feast days and the lyke... but nothing tied to real religions... just the IG one

Toes,

even if this is Illarion, it is just a game.

you would not propose, to use a real religion for gameplay, would you?

if you want to active do something for a real religion, do it in real life.

the playset of "game-gods" is just right, not to offend anybody's beliefs.
