Titillating! Fascinating! Splendid! - Order's Return

[Garem]

I am ever so pleased to hear of the shake up. After playing an opponent of the Pallid Mask who likewise was involved somewhat in their being made obsolete (EfU Rule #254: the Conclave always wins) I had felt that this was a unique time to make this phasing out happen. I'm glad to see that it did, and people are having fun with it (ps, I'll be back IG in about a week! yeeeea)

Although it is a loss of a certainly unique faction that in many ways stepped up into the place that the Ordered Mind played in Sanctuary, the Numinous Order of the Three has and likely/hopefully always shall play an amazing role in the server, especially because it is by no means the goody-goody group it strives to be.

My excitement aside, I hope that everyone lacking a PC right now gives some strong consideration to joining up with this balls to the wall hella awesome faction.

Need some ideas for what kind of character to play? Pick up a book on religious history (Catholic history is probably best, considering the past fluctuations in their tenacity to keeping with their own scripture and longevity compared to other major religions/denominations). Real world personalities like Crusader, Inquisitor, Papal Servant, Mamluke (Torm is a big name across Toril, iirc), Jihadist (done tastefully and respectfully, of course), Hymn writer, Tithe-taker, Street Preacher, Circuit Rider (faction to faction preaching?), College Campus Bible-basher (Conclave-relations!), Humanitarian/Evangelical Missionary (Natives and Docks), Legalistic Pharisee, Roman-era Israelite Zealot (fight the power! down with the Count in the name of Tyr!), maybe even a naturalist/environmentalist Rasta--er, never mind... but the list goes on!

So yea, go out and rock.

Garem... In my first post back from a LONG hiatus... I may well consider a new PC for this. :)

ps. Hallo!

[Lenthis]

Catholic really? *Face palm*
 
Well as offened as I should be I shall just chuckle and pretend it is in good fun :D
 
I shall see if my paladin shall return from his trip to the farthest reaches of this isle to once again rejoin the good fight.. with oddly good intentions.

If it helps, Lenthis, I think he's talking about the brutal Catholic history, not contemporary Catholics like we have today.  Most likely not meant as a slight to current practitioners!

And yes.  Bust out more paladins.  Paladins, played well, are really, really cool!

[Garem]

I was. And I was not implying that Catholics have either a monopoly on religion-gone-wild (read: Salem Witch Trials) or that all Catholics in those rough periods of time were bad people. A few rotten eggs in a long and, for the most part, awesome history are great examples for characters in our story. But so are the laundry list of nice guys too! St. Augustine and St. Francis de Assisi are two cool character parallels that come to mind.

Yes, the Catholic faith has had plenty of excellent members of the faith in its history, all of whom have made a fine contribution to world history. It has been host to many kindly and good-hearted individuals, such as Cardinal Richelieu,  Raymond of Toulouse or Pope Alexander VI.

Err..

[Thomas_Not_very_wise]

Bad Dan. Bad. Richelieu is not the premier member of the Catholic faith!

[Lenthis]

Well, Moving past catholics- The numious order is looken good and interesting I myself might join it or the bastion of light! Clearly a very large number of choices for all of us!

[Porkolt]

Bad Dan. Bad. Richelieu is not the premier member of the Catholic faith!

He is in France.
