Aredel

Gods and Religion of Aredel

Overview

This is a list of the known Gods of Aredel. They are refered to as the Lords of the Higher Worlds or Higher Lord for short. Corison is the only kingdom where religion is part of every day life. Over the past century, people have started to lose their faith, which has made the Higher Lords a little weaker, but also not as active/interested with their followers as they used to be.

Religion

Religion in Aredel was once a part of just about everyone's daily life. The temples of the Higher Lords flurished around the world of Aredel. Many people depended and trusted the Lords of the Higher Worlds for guidance and support for every day things. About a century ago many prayers started to go un-answered, communication with the Lords became weak. While worshippers were granted spells and gifts still by the Lords, they could sense the Lords had withdrawn from Aredel a bit. Soon people started to lose faith, thus making the Lords influence of the world weaker. They are now very few who activly worship a Lord who are not in temples or orders. Many priest believe that the Lords power in Aredel is fading and will soon be gone.

Godly Influence

The Universe is made up of five forces of Influence: Law, Chaos, Good, Evil, and Neutrality. Each of the Higher Lords follows one of the five Influences, this is known as their Primary Influence. It is by their Primary Influence that they live and pass wisdom on to their followers. However, there must be a means to the end and the Higher Lords may or may not use another form of Influence in order to get what they want. This is known as their Secondary Influence. Generally, as long as the follower is devoted to the Higher Lords Primary Influence the Higher Lord doesn't care what the followers Secondary Influence is.

The Houses of Universal Influence

Higher Lords that share a common Primary Influence make up a House of Universal Influence or The Upper Households. The Higher Lords work together in their household to give their path of Influence more power in the Universe and to gain more followers to their path. Households rival against each other for major influence in the Universe. In the past the households were overall evenly matched but in recent times the households of Good and Chaos have seen little power due to Higher Lords that have died. It is also common for a member of the Household of Neutrality to aid another household that is has a Secondary Influence in. (ie Loyl's Primary Influence is Neutrality while his Secondary is Good. He would lend aid and powers of influence to the Household of Good.)

Specialty Priests

A priest in Aredel recieves all the bonuses and abilities outlined under the Cleric class in the PHB. However, at 5th level a Priest may choose to become a Specialty Priest of their Lord. A Specialty Priest is more powerful then a regular Priest. The Specialty Priest is granted extra gifts and spells by the Lord and is often called upon to do the Lords bidding. Specialty Priest are basically Prestige Classes. They range from 1st-15th level, they still use the Clerics HD, Saves and base To Hit. Those abilities progress just as if the player was just playing a regular priest. Specialty Priest all can 1 extra spell per level.
