holy warriors of off world gods

Post by Madog » Thu May 04, 2006 6:48 pm

Heya,
Just wondering if any of the other greater gods such as Blibdoolpoolp,Corellon Larethian, gruumsh etc have holy warriors within avlis.
And if the gods do have holy warriors within avlis are there any plans on making PC's able to pick the class?
Thanks :)
Madog.

Each of the nine alignments has a holy warrior associated with it. This corresponds to the nine major gods on Avlis who helped to create and shape the races that exist there.

On Avlis, having the ability to make holy warriors out of your followers is a special power only given to the most powerful and heavily worshipped gods, i.e. the original nine. Thus, a holy warrior of a given alignment always worships the corresponding god. Here is a description of them. More details to follow in subsequent posts.

So the answer best as I can tell is No...

No, the Nine Gods gave their mentors leave to have influence on Avlis, but their strength and power on Avlis is certainly not enough to have their own holy warrior.

Now, this isn't to say that said gods can't have thier own holy Orders I presume?
The sweetest obession
to keep me awake
sleep loss entailed
by the love that we make.

Don't spawn me a lover
Don't spam me with choclates
just return my affections
or just set me free

Any Church can have a Holy Order. Only the Nine Greater Gods of Avlis can have Holy Warriors in Avlis.
