Stephanus

Post by Ninjar » Tue Feb 17, 2009 7:42 pm

Given that Stephanus was a weretiger and spent a fair amount of time living on avlis, along with the fact that there is a major temple to Xenon in Grantir, could that be considered sufficient information to infer that he was a follower of Xenon prior to his ascension to the status of Demigod?

Edit: As Grantir seems to consist of a rather lawful society due to Angadar's influence and a noteworthy temple to Xenon (noted with with one in Malekia in the wiki) would seem terribly out of place without some sort of reason for it being constructed.

Just found this in the general world information forum:
Grantir wrote:However, there are two races that are welcome in Grantir, so long as they do not cause trouble: minotaurs and lycanthropes. Though their numbers are not huge, they are the second largest population in the city.

Temples to Paragus the minotaur god as well as Xenon and Wilsash can be found there.
So I would guess that there was at least some acceptance of Xenon. Though would it be true that Stephanus converted to worship Angadar, assuming he was a true lycanthrope and wouldn't be able to control his lycanthropy thereafter. Unless lycans born true lycans need not worship Xenon, unlike those that become true lycans through other means?
Xenon wrote:Most true lycanthropes worship Xenon, just as many members of the major races worship the god who created them.
This is on the general world information forum as well. Another thing that just occured to me is Stephanus' position as an offworlder(I would think), and whether that would influence anything.

Or maybe I'm just overthinking all of this? :flucht:
