I like it a lot. I noticed that their is no mention of the Brothers of Battle. Since the hierarchy is made up of the four groups, Red axe warriors, Order of the Valorous axe, War priests and The Tacticians. Where does that put the Brothers? Do they have no direct relation to the church its self, outside of being followers?

Quote from: Vorax
Since recent days, more and more warriors will have the Rune Carvers engraved on the weapon as well.


Given that a Rune Carver is a person, a person can't be engraved on your weapon.

Quote from: Vorax
Although many followers spend less time in armor than out of it, the War Priests are the exception, usually only taking it off to sleep, bathe, or clean the armor itself.


Is that meant to be something along the lines of priests? Or priests of other faiths? Because War Priests in themselves aren't the exception, given that many Voraxian warriors spend most of their time in armor.

Quote from: Vorax
Many smaller temples exist, including the Waurhka urwa w'aWaazw'ah deep in the Crystal Peaks.


Just checking, is Crystal Peaks the current name (sorry, I haven't heard of them)?

Quote from: Vorax
These men and women are the heart of Vorax's faith and are fighting clerics who take both the word of the Father of Battle and his healingand combat spells to the front lines or wherever they’re needed.

Quote from: Vorax
Like Dorand's constellation, Justice of Him, is highly detailed.


Should either be:

[INDENT]Justice of Him (no comma)[/INDENT]

or

[INDENT]The Creator's Hammer, (with comma)[/INDENT]

Hope this helps.

Regards,

The BoB have always been separate from the official church.

It's common for somebody to have the face of the Rune Carver engraved on somebody's weapon.

Really. It is. ;)



Allright, it should read that the Rune Carvers engrave the weapon!

The intent is to convey that War Priests are even more married to their armors than other followers of Vorax are.

Thanks for the comments!

Would it be possible to have the translation of "Waurhka urwa w'a Waazw'ah" somewhere, perhaps in the Vorax forums?

Have the Voraxians become a little more relaxed in their views of magic in general and wizards and sorcerors in particular? I remember having the impression from the previous edition of the [LORE]Vorax[/LORE] page that arcane magic was generally viewed as "A Bad Thing(TM)", and magickers were generally viewed as tricksters and not to be trusted.

Has this changed? Or am I thinking of another page? Or have I wholly got the wrong end of the stick?

It's still a "A Bad Thing (TM)"!

If you're perhaps confused by the Rune Carvers, I'll give you this snippet for the time being:

Quote from: Pantheon Book
The Rune Carvers – Dwarves and arcane magic don’t mix. This has been a given since the first dwarf was created, and most think it is genetic to the race – not a few scholars say that dwarven physiology reacts to the Al’Noth, although reasons why are in short supply.

However it is also understood that enchanted weapons are often required to defeat certain foes and this has created a conundrum within the church for centuries. Only in the last two decades has a real solution been found in the work of one Vorax-worshipping couple, Harar and Nurrian Morrload. Determined to overcome the stigma of having to use magical enhancements, the best engraver and most clever brewer of the Ulgrid Fortress set out to learn of alchemy in the year 1342, and researched all that they could of runes of old. Along the way, they discovered – they don’t speak of how – certain runic combinations that added power to whatever they were carved on. The runes had additional power when alchemical paint was added. It took them fifty years to develop and perfect their methods...



... they have perfected recipes for basic elemental damages including acid, electrical shocks, fire, and cold.

I was actually after something that said "magickers are tricksters" in order to establish a connotation for the term "tricky". :)

Ah right.

Magickers are indeed tricksters and not to be trusted.

All of LORE: Vorax is now up and a picture of the Father of Battle is also up.

In the Elections and Organizations section, I think the reference to the "Valorous Axe of Vorax" might need to be changed to the "Defender of Valor".
