Faiths of the City State: Forn Sidthr Available in PDF

[jamesmishler]

Faiths of the City State Forn Sidthr: The Old Custom is a 13-page PDF detailing the City State of the Invincible Overlord's civilized religion dedicated to the Aesir, centered on the Temple of Odin on the Square of the Gods. The 12 pages of game text provide Judges with all the information needed to immerse players in the primary faith of the City State, including:

Religions and Cults of the City State

History

Worshipers

Pantheon

Worshipers Alignment

Clerical Alignment

General Pantheon Cleric

Pantheon Symbol

Hierarchy

Patriarch

Temple

Holy Texts

Liturgical Tongue

Sources of Power

Rituals and Holy Days

Sacrifices

Canon and Dogma

Peculiarities

The Faiths of the City State line includes a major aspect of game play that has not been explored in most games: the fact that character death is not the end for that character! Faiths of the City State Forn Sidthr: The Old Custom provides all the information needed to determine the fate of a faithful Forn Sidthr characters soul after death and in the afterlife. A characters virtues and sins during life determine whether she feasts among the honored dead in Valhalla until she fights alongside the gods at Ragnarok, wanders through the cold wastes of Niflheim until her soul is burned away when the fires of Muspelheim spill over at the end of the world, or even worse, is condemned to wander the mortal world as a draugr, an undead creature accursed by the very gods!

THE AFTERLIFE

Table I: Disposition of the Soul

Greater and Lesser Sins

Virtues

Table II: Doom of the Draugr
WARNING: THIS PRODUCT CONTAINS MATURE SUBJECT MATTER. Faiths of the City State Forn Sidthr: The Old Custom does not hold anything back in detailing the sins and the penalties associated thereto. Reader discretion is advised.
Faiths of the City State Forn Sidthr: The Old Custom describes an imaginary religion in a fantasy campaign setting. Any resemblance to real world religions, historical or modern, is purely coincidental.

Designed and approved for use with Castles & Crusades, Faiths of the City State Forn Sidthr: The Old Custom adds a whole new level of detail for religion in a Wilderlands of High Adventure campaign or any other campaign setting.

A whole new religion for the City State for only $3.00.

Just grabbed a copy. Very nice work. I really don't know much about the Wilderlands, but I keep grabbing the stuff I can convert to my own campaigns. this one will fill a gap in my Yggsburgh campaign left when Lejendary Pantheons was pulled from TLG. Seeing as the City State and Yggsburgh both worship Odin, Thor and company, there is some great stuff in here I can use and pass on to my cleric player to flesh out Yggsburgh's religious community.

Thanks for the great work. You're rapidly convincing me I'll have to have the Southern Reaches Gazetteer when its ready.

Thanks Dachda! Glad you enjoy it!

Ideally, I will have a companion to the Forn Sidthr piece out early next week, Lore of the Aesir, which describes each of the major and many of the minor Aesir deities, and their clerics (as opposed to the general pantheon cleric), in detail (two pages each).

This is offered separate from the Forn Sidthr article as not everyone needs yet another description of these gods; but for those who want them, they will be available. All is, as usual with the Wilderlands, optional at the Judge's discretion.

A third volume, City State Temples: Temple of Odin, will map out the actual Temple, the dungeons beneath it, and list the major figures and treasures of the location in detail.

Great! I could adopt the Temple of Odin, to Yggsburgh, which already has a grand temple, that was supposed to be of Odin. (If the expansion was ever released, which seems doubtful now). The Aesir lore will also help me flesh out the gygaxian tenoric pantheon. Looking forward to seeing these!
