What Ba Chim's spy tells you about Il Tasi'in Il Tasi'in, a thick-walled town of 3000, is the seat of power for one of the the most isolated of the borderland satrapies of the Scarlet Sultanate. Located on the east coast just after the shoreline turns south, it is a bare 60 miles from the Xobi, the cold rocky southern desert in the Weird. The town which is dominated by the two raised quartz-dome hills called the Teats of Manat was formerly called Manawat and was deeply associated with the worship of that chthonic goddess (who is said to have ruled over fate itself and “sapped the self-will and value of Men”). The ruling satrap is like other borderlands satraps both a highly-positioned courtier and necromancer, an important role in the maintenance of the undead-worked plantation system (more about Industrial Necromancy in a blog post). Ul-Namihirra is generally considered to be a deeply incompetent in both his expected roles but survives politically by his ability to shift...
I am doing write-ups for all the religions currently. The Celestial Lady, depending on who is talking, is either an unjustly spurned former co-deity on par with the Sun Lord in a dual-membered pantheon or an old goddess that was a "bad match and beneath the station" of the Sun Lord. If you believe the former than you consider her the representation of the female ruler of ALL DOMAINS human. Others believe her to be a relatively minor goddess of the Pahr that dealt with herd animals.
ReplyDeleteHer followers are considered heretics but the more mainstream Morning and Evening Star societies are fairly well tolerated in the borderlands. The aspirational alignment is CG, but most people who follow her are Neutral. Some say that the mystics of the Starry Void society are demonic.
Most of the Pahr Old Gods followers aspire to be Chaotic Good in keeping with the Holmesian pagan gods schema. Radagast being the one with the strongest contemporary following.
Also I am doing a write up for special powers of non-Cleric priests (and for special spells for Sun Lord clerics by sect).
