Re: Religion descriptions

I'd like to see some posts explaining various religions in the medival time period. Ideally, it should be fairly condensed, with links to additional information, so that players interested in starting an in-game religion have some good source material.

Druids, for example. Anyone have good information on them?

Give me a few days and I could put something small together regarding the Byzantine Church and perhaps its relationship with the State (they don't call it Byzantine politics for nothing!) however my reading into that area is really only a hobby so there are probably others far more knowledgeable on the subject here in BM who would do a better job.

Also if I remember correctly the Druids were not a religious force in the Middle Ages; indeed its highly questionable whether any existed at such a time at all. After the conversion of the British Isles to Christianity any traces of British polytheism (including the Druids) could only have survived in a much diluted form in local folk-lore, and even that is debatable.
