    Help me develop my world religions

    As of now I think their necessary. I would be willing to work down or up with some of them though. The main thing is though what I'm planning is a more loosely connected series of stories set within the same world then the more traditional method.Because of that the audience won't be interacting...

    What are the limits of bronze weaponry/armor

    Hmm. About the axe I'm looking for something that would be dual use. Like something that could be used to chop wood but also would do decently against basic armor in cases where a sword is unavailable.

    Help me develop my world religions

    Organization for Aluni-Illun Mostly decentralized. Each practicing nation has its own high priest and many nations also have their own patron god that is worshiped above other gods. Nominally the High Priest of Alask in Dumar has the right to call a council to decide matters of law and faith...

    What are the limits of bronze weaponry/armor

    Ok thanks a bunch for the information. In your opinion how effect would a weapon like this be against iron or bronze lamellar or against chain mail? Also do you think it would be realistic for a band of warriors living in an area that has yet to develop iron working having a mix of mostly...

    What are the limits of bronze weaponry/armor

    Im working on the Orc societies for a story I'm currently writing and I was wondering if someone could help info me about how good bronze weapons and armor could get. For example is something like bronze mail possible. And how hard would it be to produce bronze scale armor. In terms of...

    Help me develop my world religions

    Last few human religions. Aluni-Illun. (Gods of light) Summary: A counterpart to the more northern Visno faith. This faith has a similar hero worshipping element as it's more nothern cousin but due to the midlands much more pleasant climate the gods of mature now play the role of the...

    Help me develop my world religions

    I was thinking of making Jinrus, the head god, the god of fire. I'm being intentionally vague with the exact names of alot of the gods right now though so these pantheons will be expanded upon in the actual story. The big differnece between Celestial Order and Sacred Divinity is that in...

    A world with very little metal (geography, society)

    For armor you could look into bone or tusk armor. Like in this picture of a cooper age Siberian warrior.

    Cannibalistic Character Irreemable?

    Perhaps you could make him regret doing it. Or at least over the course of the story he could come to the realization that what hes doing is wrong but necessary. Perhaps you could work in a religious justification (ie. faeries may not have souls in his world view.) I think, though, that...

    Human Religion 5 Name: Celestial Order Summary: Based off very ancient human traditions from before the arrival on the continent. It worships in a henothestic fashion the Celestial Dragon along with an entire catalog of spirits, demi-gods, and heroes. It is mostly practiced in Hsing, a realm...

    Help me develop my world religions

    I do agree with the Narosos and the Communion of the Gods thing. Having them be a sub-religion of the Communion would probably be better then having them as a religion onto themselves.

    Help me develop my world religions

    I was thinking of something along those lines for religious groups (for example Lothil-Ra and the heartland elfin religion are related and therefore more or less share gods with different roles for each god of course.) As of this point many of the human religions will also be somewhat related...

    Help me develop my world religions

    So I'm working on a story were the basic idea is that Elves once dominated a large area of a continent. Then several thousand years ago some cataclysmic event resulted in many elfin settlements being overrun by orcs and other creatures. In the mist of all this Men arrive over the mountains that...
