New Religion Founding Requirements

(1/1)

Anaris:
We're pleased to announce that we have introduced a new path to founding a religion, that does not require the founder to themselves be a Lord. It does, however, require some significant work on the part of the would-be founder:


* A document (~500 words at least) describing the basic beliefs of your religion: what do its followers actually worship? What do its teaching say about their day-to-day life? What meaning does it give to noble followers? How does it affect the decisions made by noble player characters? Is there a creation myth? What does it have to say about nobles vs peasants? The afterlife? Our purpose in the world? Some resources if you need inspiration:

* A basic layout of what the religion's ranks will be, and what their purposes are
* Commitments from at least 10 nobles to join your religion once it is founded. At least two of these must be committing to be priests, and at least one must be a Lord, approving the founding temple to be built in their region.It is our hope that this will allow those who have good ideas for religions to see them founded without requiring steps that are largely irrelevant to the successful founding of a religion, while also ensuring that we are not overwhelmed with a glut of empty religions.

If you wish to found a religion following this path, once you have met the requirements, please contact us at community@battlemaster.org, or message Delvin Anaris on Discord.
