I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment the moment with my fantasy world at the moment because it is the first one I am building with this much detail. I want to try and make sure my world makes complete sense. This means getting my map to fit geographical law. My population to expand at a reasonable rate ext. So I am trying to start with factors that will effect all my nations. Like the magic systems. I have made my magic system so the next thing that I want to do is make a religion.
I want to combine the following things in the religion.
God similar to the Greek gods. Immoral and act like humans.
Equality of the sexes is a part of the religion as I don't want much sexism in my story
The religion is organised very much like in medieval Europe with convents, monasteries small "churches all over" and a head of the religion like the pope. Except their are about ten of this each for separate gods.
In my magic system people have to go into trances in order to use magic this can take up to three hours.
The most logical people to have discovered magic then is the priest. So part of thier religon must be to go into trances probably through many hours of praying.
how should I go about combining these ideas.
