The Female Cleric of Sarel

shent_lodge — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 18:26:09 +0000

Here is an image of the other female player in my home game. The 6th level cleric of Sarel, Sister Ana Bosbert. On retirement Ana went to Jerren to tour the tortoise cities as a healer and envoy of the church of Sarel. The many religions in Alidor are all well tolerated on the tortoises and most send clerics to act as healers and also as recruiters of their faith. Most stay for a month or so in small 2-3 room healing huts before moving on to the next city.

A home game option for clerics is that the player gets to choose a god, and may use any one weapon they want, they can still have simple weapons. The players get to choose what areas of influence that god represents also. Sarel is the god of deep winter and hope according to Elizabeth. Sarel is the light in the darkness, and is a good aligned god. The symbol of Sarel is two golden wings. Sarel’s Areas of Influence are winter, travel, honor and strength, and all churches no matter the size keep a small lit candle in their front window from sunset to sunrise. Sarel’s churches allow travels to rest and stay for free for three nights. When Elizabeth told me about the god Sarel, I was ecstatic, like cool, now I don’t have to figure that one out. I like it when my players add to my game.

Melbrindar Keep

shent_lodge — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 19:35:55 +0000

This keep is the last stop for many a pilgrim before heading out across the Valley of the Gods in search of the City of Alidor. It is the home of the Melbrindar elves and one of the few places where one can study weapon and armorsmithing. Elves come here to study the ways of the samurai under the tutelage of “The Melbrindar” a reclusive ancient elf said to be one of the oldest in the world. The laws of Melbrindar Keep are extremely strict for non-elves, but the pay off in knowledge is well worth the trouble.

Example law:
All non-elves must walk counter clockwise while traveling between buildings in the compound. Non-elves found walking clockwise will be put to death by the first elf on the seen. As a courtesy to visitors, divinations after the fact will be used to determine justification of sentencing.

Laws of Melbrindar Keep

shent_lodge — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 17:25:33 +0000

Melbrindar Keep is the last “civilized” outpost on the pilgrim trail before heading out across the Valley of the Gods. It is actually a military compound with some of the strictest laws in all of Alidor. The ruler of the keep is the “Melbrindar” an ancient elf of the purest blood. The elf lord of the keep has no love for non elves, but understands the plight of those lesser people and the ruggedness of world outside. All are welcome to freely enter the keep so long as they follow its laws. Many refuse to enter, but those who do and a live within the bounds of the elfin law are rewarded with knowledge and skill for it was the Melbrindar who first stepped forward to teach the lesser races the ways of the sword and the bow, and for this reason, the Melbrindar was banished from the elfin lands making many enemies among his own people in the Talou Forest. Those people and beasts that have been cut down by the superior weapons and skills of those who train at the keep also hold grudges against the eldest of all elves and relentlessly conspire to silence the elf lord.

The laws of the keep are stricter than in native elfin lands and are definitely biased toward elfin people. In most cases non elves face death for the simplest crimes though with a few exceptions sentencing usually includes time in the dungeon or stockades; during this time if an elf can be found to sponsor the condemned then the sentence can be reduced to community service to the sponsored elf.

Stockade time in public areas are usually conducted in 6hour shifts broken up by 1hour period for bathing and exercise. Dungeon time is dungeon time with no breaks or exercise.

All non elf visitors are assigned an elf chaperone to ensure their safety within the keep. Most chaperones are quite helpful to their assigned guests given them guided tours and teaching them the proper mannerisms and etiquette to be used among the elves, but on occasion you can get one that is quiet, possibly because she has taken a vow of silence as part of her training at the keep, or sometimes, one may have a grudge against being given such a menial assignment and will be no help at all.
