LORE: Toran is posted.

This one had a complete overhaul, yet the principles behind this deity remained so have a look.

Whoohoo! Toranites are now a bit less frumpy and more compassionate! About time they worked on their Public Relations!

hey now, we were always compassionate, but at least now it says very plainly: Seek out the servants of evil and rid the world of them. No more of this namby pamby pseudo az'atta! woo hoo! Compassion is one thing but if you're a servant of evil you better beware! Evil: meet Temperance!

Eh? That "seek out the servants of evil..." is the part that didn't change from the old version...

Does that Mean Tyra has to worry about catching Sion again?

Alatriel · « **Reply #12 on:** May 20, 2009, 12:28:04 pm »

Oh, I did think of something. Because of the section on the Order of the Longsword, and the official name of the Blade of Toran, Erath would have to stop calling himself Blade of Toran, as would any other fighters simply fighting for Toran, but not paladins. Got any suggestions for what they could call themselves instead? We used to refer to all fighters that were Toranites, fought with a longsword and shield, but not paladins (Erath, Arthur McStorm, Aarcus) as the Blades of Toran. Is there a sect of Toranites that are simply a form of non-paladin militia?

Also: is the current Hand of the Shining Hand still Theodosia Varamost, or is he still just the Hand elect, intermediary, etc. or has someone else taken over? Will there be further information on the Shining Hand put out?

And as far as the Champions of Toran. Is it supposed to be that they are named Champions because of great services to the church? Shouldn't it be that they are chosen by Toran because of great services to Him?

Toranite? Fighter of Toran?

Not as part of the church, no.

It is still Theodosia. Further information is in the book and will not be released at this time I'm afraid.

The great service to the church is correct. It is the church that bestows the title. Please note that the book is written with the MMO in mind, not with NWN in mind, so that's why there is a mistmatch between the Champion PrC in NWN and the title of Champion in the church.

in that case, I'll take Sion's "Immunity to crappy roles on the final rush".... *grumbles, rubbing his head where it smashed into a wall*
