Paladins all worship the One God who created it all (Lawful Clerics)
Clerics may worship the One God or demi-gods (Chaotic Clerics may worship a demi-god, but not the One God)
Everyone else may worship the One God or demi-gods or even powerful Immortals, some worship under pagan philosophies and beings that may or may not exist.
Those who are evil worship those from the Infernal Planes.
I will eventually flesh this out and likely last of all. Being specific here is not crucial to the game

I made the post to the Experience thread before reading this (since the former said it was important and this one didn't seem to concern deities directly). Since Sora is heading for paladinhood, do you have any guidance on the nature of the One God and his/her/its worship? Are we safe in assuming "medieval Catholicism" or are you aiming for something stranger? Perhaps a deity modeled on the Egyptian/Lybian/Nubian/Greek Amun-re [or Zeus Amun as he was known to the Greeks]? |

. . . Amun-re [or Zeus Amun as he was known to the Greeks]? Just had a thought: in my Traveller games, I feature the widespread and rather powerful Church of Stellar Divinity. This religion believes that all stars are sentient, serving as the gods of their particular solar systems. The CoSD is a very syncretistic religion, viewing all the myriad religions of the various races as simply different faces of the stellar god of that race's home system. Given that Amun was for most purposes identified with the Sun (his symbol was the sundisk) - and that this is a fantasy game world - maybe we can say that the Sun of the game world is a sentient being, the One God of everything known? |

Are we safe in assuming "medieval Catholicism" or are you aiming for something stranger? Quasi "medieval Catholicism" with perhaps some inspiration from Katherine Kurtz and the Deryni books and also from David Eddings and his The Elenium & The Tamuli books. |
