10-05-06, 09:55 AM Here's the thing, I'd like my human cleric to worship the devourer mainly because I'm interested in the domains of Destruction and Weather (harsh forces of nature that also brin destrcution)

I don't know much about Eberron and I wanted to know where he could possibly have been born and raised. I've heard that the Devourer is mainly worshipped by Sahuagins, goblinoids, and sailors would often make an offering to him by throwing something of value off board before a rather promissing storm of destruction and mayhem.

My cleric isn't inherently evil, he believes that by harnessing the destructive powers he can direct them to a better (his) cause, and he can learn to protect himself from such disasters.

Now where could he come from to have learned of such a harsh way to live and think?

He could have learned those teachings everywhere (well, except Thrane), though the churches wouldn't try to call attention to themselves, as the Dark Six are frowned upon/assaulted by most.

It's easy to be good and worship the dark six, just follow the teaching that "through hardship shall we prosper and become strong"

Perhaps your character's father was a sailor, gone for weeks/months at a time, who taught your character what he/she knows?

Perhaps your character lives in a village/town on the outskirts of a volcano/faultline/floodplain?

Perhaps your character's childhood/adolescence was marked by a single disaster that shaped his/her life when a hurricane/forest fire/drought destroyed half the community?
