High Toprak

[Ironsides]

There really isn't much to be said about politics and personalities of High Toprak (which includes Central Toprak) so I thought to maybe start up this post and get some connections going. Remember, High Toprak is not the Lurian portion of Toprak or the Occidens at all so please leave those conversations for the other threads.

So, Libero, Morek and Corsanctum, what's up? How's the slow burn going?

Geeks of Dwilight. No one pays them any attention.

And that's the problem! Maybe they need an image change?

[Glaumring the Fox]

Any change will bring a combined SA alliance down on your sorry ass.

[Tandaros]

I'm sure an image change can happen within the parameters of SA. Or not. Not my area. 

[Ironsides]

How about

How about above or parallel to Astromancy? If they are willing to try I might have an idea...or two......

Oh, you mean heresy?

I shouldn't mean that (as much as they want me to ). It has nothing to do with religion.

Yes, it would be too dangerous to meddle in creating or modifying the religion.

SA is serious about religion. Kind of like, you know, a medieval noble would be. None of this mamby-pamby "we're tolerant and welcome all religions" crap that so much of the game has embraced.

Many of the kingdoms in Dwilight didn't have the benefit of being founded with no other religions or cultures around. SA was sort of handheld in the fact that it didn't have competition when it was founded. Many of the other realms of Dwilight have had to form organically taking into account things like other religions and cultures. Plus, no other faiths can be as militant as SA because it would immediately become a threat to SA and be stomped out, so what you get is namby pamby as a survival mechanism.

Yes, we did have an advantage in that we started early. But so could any other religion. Everyone else decided to wait. Their loss.

Well it wasn't like everyone else had a plan written down in the beginning as to some sort of long term strategy made up by a cabal of elders like SA did...

I know the religion was made up with support for the religion and stuff prior to Dwilight being founded, but there wasn't the "cabal of elders"  (2, 3, even 4 is not a cabal of elders). As to a long term strategy being made up, I don't know if there was but a long term strategy is very general so I don't know why any religion wouldn't have one in the beginning.

Really?  Did you read the sermon by Mathurin for Khari and Rynn's wedding?  Where he stood shoulder to shoulder with Baal the Betrayer and complimented his religion saying it was no different or better than SA?
