Religious Background of WoRPA

[Imp]

Certain spells (http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?p=738197#post738197) have strong holy and dark magic (summon demon, Holy light for example).

I feel to obtain such power, one should be either heavily influenced by the Dark or Light Gods. If one dedicates a life to either side, then they are granted the ability. Obviously if someone is on the Dark side, they can't use the Light side spell 'Holy Light'.

People can also be neutral or partial to either Light or Dark for some spells if they wish.

So main question(s) is, should we have this concept and if so, how can one go about acting in such a manner to prove their worth to the Dark/Light Gods?

(We'll discuss the various types of Gods in another thread...)

If we let everyone create their own race chances are they'll add their own religious beliefs to the chars.'s background. Who will these Gods be and how will they influence everything and everyone?


As for proving their alignment you use the usual do good deeds for the Light Gods and bad deeds for the Dark Gods

The Gods could be limitless like those of the Akkadians (or some other old civ group from the middle-east). This allows for both Dark and Light to be favored in ways that aren't limited to certain aspects.

Ok.

END RESULT - so far
The history on the God's will be built up over time and characters are free to worship whatever if they want or just state they are part of the Light/Dark/Neutral side.
