There wont be a religious war, there is only one nasty religion and that are the feathers.
Which your character has been inviting over a couple of times :P

I'm not part of either of your faiths. I have found the one true religion.

I didnt know you founded your own religion, just recalling that your character used to invite feather priests to peach and cause riots in Xhaghus several times.

So tell me more about your faith, and why you founded it?

Haha, no I didn't found my own, too much work. I joined Daishi. So far its been enjoyable and it made the most sense for my character.  Hmm, looking at the official views of the faith... what is Brethren of the Light? never heard of it before.

Hey guys, I'm going to go start a war, okay?

It's apparently a religion in Rio.  I have NFI what it is either.  Tried getting realm leaders to get in in contact with them, but notta. 

And Daishi...  Giant mechs that shoot missiles and lasers, which are your gods, makes the most sense for your character?  You didn't join a religion.  You joined Robotech.

battle tech maybe?. I watched robotech and it was awesome but no Daishi there.

The actual in-game stuff seems fine for Battlemaster whatever the inspiration behind it. Certainly not worse than some other faiths I've seen.

i qoute:

QuoteThe Ways of Daishi
The ultimate vision: Giant armored gods over thirty feet tall are walking across a battlefield while the tiny humans are fighting Undead and Monsters while scurrying about their feet. These armored gods throw metal javelins and darts the size of small trees that explode on impact. Casual waves of appendages bring forth shafts of lightning that melt and destroy targets along with everything around it.

Wtf? how stoned was the dude who wrote that? (probably after watching transformers on repeat)

Fine, fine.  Robotech.  All those mech shows are the same for the most part. :P

And Nosferatus...  You and I are both in agreement on something.

Sypher

*shrugs* The external board talks of fighting against the enemies of humanity. And, it is still more appealing to my character than the Golden Feather or Bloodspeakers. The faith also makes an attempt to adapt to the history of Beluaterra with its mentions of the undead, daimons & monsters. The Bloodspeakers annoyed the heck out of Yorick during the last invasion so he joined the Golden Feather for a bit. Golden Feather was boring so left after a while with nothing said in the whole time he was part of it.

As for post invasion politics, I'm waiting for the Thalmarkin/Melhed war.

One... it wasn't a "mech show".

Two... if anyone thinks that Robotech and Battletech were anything alike, I feel sorry for them. Robotech is basically aerial combat machines (aka jets) that just happen to be able to do ground combat. Battletech is much, much more conventional, only having land battles, where the mechs are basically walking tanks.

Three, that sounds a lot like the description of the ancient greek gods going to war.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilium/Olympos

An example of a futuristic version of Greek Gods, that would still be interpreted by ancient peoples as having godly rather than scientific powers.

Draco Tanos

Sorry, but Robotech/Battletech/MechWarrior/Gundam are all the same premise.  They just had different levels of technology to drive the same concepts. 

Also, never quite heard actual myths make the Greco-Roman gods sound anything like that in battle.  Books from the mid 2000s aren't the first to allude to technology = magic, mind you.
