Aug 15, 2008 11:41:46 (which I find good)...was it also your idea to create this new Torm worshipping theocracy I have read about? Or was that an independent move on the part of the powers that be?

Do you have any more info on this theocracy?

Aug 15, 2008 11:50:44 *cough* I didn't have Tyr killed. Contrary to reports, I did not put a hit out on him. *starts sweating profusely*

And nope, I got nothing to do with that theocracy. You know about as much as I do in that regard.

Torm is the Law now. This reminds me (not so dimmly) of the famed Pholtus worshipping Theocracy of the Pale in the Flanaess on Oerth.

I can't say I like that.

Thing about Torm was always his humanity in combination with his virtue. I hope he remains close to his faithful and retains this quality. I would hate to see him turn into a Pholtus like figure or even worse have an entire kingdom worshipping him in the manner of a Pholtus. If I recall correctly the Church of Pholtus was the only permissible religion in that political entity. I can't imagine Torm going that way, especially after what his clergy did in Tantras but things seem so zaney now I can't make heads or tales of anything anymore...

Greenknight, as an expert and harbinger of change, what say you?

Aug 17, 2008 4:41:28 Pholtus is more akin to Amaunator. Pelor is actually less like Amaunator - he is more like Lathander.
Torm's Greyhawk equivalent is Heironeous (with Bane being Hextor).

Aug 18, 2008 1:12:46 Pholtus is more akin to Amaunator, and I'm sorry to report that Torm is apparently working from his playbook. For more details about the theocracy (Elturgard) go here: http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=1075706

Aug 18, 2008 1:16:58 Besides, Greenknight used to be The Yellow Knight and The Blue Knight until 4e rolled them together during their 'divine downsizing'. He's still a little dazed and confused from that.

Or maybe I'm thinking of the Power Rangers...
