FYI there's different friar orders from saints in the material.
Order of St. Jorrael
(God friend) beggars
(poor friars)
ie like Franciscans.
Order of St. Faxis
(The Penitent)
witch hunters
(Black frairs)
ie like Dominicans
Friars
Wandering ascetics who have vowed to leave the austere
life of the cloister and take to a homeless existence on the
road. Friars are tasked with bringing the good word of the
One True God to the poor, downtrodden, and disease-ridden
in borderlands at the edge of the civilized world (such
as Dolmenwood). Friars maintain only a loose affiliation
with the Church proper, being granted the fiat to carry out
God’s will as they see fit, without recourse to the ecclesiastical
hierarchy. A large number of saints lived as friars.
I was wondering if it would be ok if I created a new order using one of the existing saints.
It would be known as the Clavists, or the Mendicant Order of Saint Keye the Chronicler. They are a small (minor) order who tracks down lost or missing historical information or artifacts. They are history buffs and relic retrievers for the church.

Yeah sure! I just posted 2 that I "created" based on existing Catholic orders.

I think I have a minor hook.

Lucky me I am a wood grue subscriber for Dolemwood and get all the cool updates. I was just looking over the religion section trying to decide which group I might want to join!!! Thanks for the recap. Will try to get it all done today and a post in on the game page.
Awesome, I'm looking forward to the Kickstarter. I was a subscriber for a while but just let the Pateron lapse.
Thanks for running this. Looks like a great setting and I too am looking forward to the kickstarter.
Dm - I want to broach something with you before moving forward. I would like to play Hex “against type” in that he would be an outcast from longhorn society.
He will not have the regular anathema of treating with Drunes (though they may still expect him to hate them and act accordingly).
He will have his longhorns, but runs the risk of having them removed by longhorn law/society if dremed sufficiently criminal or by an overzealous official.
He will never acquire his house plate armor, though I was thinking at 3rd level he might choose other armor, even plate though that might cause more societal issues.
He has no apathy toward bows nor preference for lance and sword.
Other than that he would be a biological longhorn, though perhaps at some stage, shorn of head and thus lose his butt attack.
I was thinking of calling longhorn pariahs “scurs” as this is a term for horn deformation in goats. Just why he is a scur would be developed and divulged over time.
What do you think?
Woot! So everyone is in - happy days :)
Huzzah...

I was looking around for an image of the holy symbol of the One True God, but could not locate one. Therefore, I propose the following...
the key at the bottom is specific to the Clavists, or the Mendicant Order of Saint Keye the Chronicler. I would propose that all the sects use the main symbol and then have their group's specific emblem placed somewhere within the cross.

Eh, never mind. I’m going to bow out of this game.

Bummer. I was looking forward to your take on the goat man.
That leaves us with a classic party of 4:
Lachlann: human bard
Brother Theodor: human friar
Raff: human thief
Medraut: human mage
I think I should rebuild into a more martial class.
Thoughts?
I have some time on my hands today so I will rebuild as a Dolmenwood Knight of House Harrowmore
If we would rather keep the bard that’s fine too.
chainmail & shield
mace
A bone statuette of a mermaid with prodigiously hairy armpits.
This the player formally known as Lachlann. Yennifer, Squire of House Harrowmoor.
Okay, I posted in the gameplay thread. I am assuming we already know each other.. at least in passing. We can work out connections to each other here if needed.
I was hoping for some sort of intro from Qstor about that, to be honest :)

Probably a good idea. I’m just a bit excited to play something in this setting and jumped the gun a bit.
me too...so no worries!!!
Hex dropped out. Not sure why.
I don’t thinks so. I think they were waiting for some direction from the GM about how we know each other and/or what brought us together in this town.

I am here.
Woot
Let's say you all worked on a caravan. either traveling with it or guarding it.I don’t thinks so. I think they were waiting for some direction from the GM about how we know each other and/or what brought us together in this town.
Works for me. Thanks.
FYI - I will be traveling December 22-27. I should be able to post most days but apologies in advance if I can’t.
Hey everyone.
Wanted to let you know I will be traveling from the 19th December through the 3rd January, visiting family and so forth. I expect to have some time for posting but... It is completely unpredictable :D
Feel free to bot me as needed!
Merry Christmas everyone!!
I’m posting this in all my games. We are expecting a major snow storm tomorrow. While I don’t expect to lose power or internet service it is always a possibility. If I don’t post tomorrow apologies in advance.
Just a heads up, I will be traveling today and I will probably not have time to post. Apologies.
Hoping the best for you mate, but rest and hydration are both solid choices irrespective.
Sorry to hear that. Take care!
Sorry to hear about it Qstor - wish you a quick recovery!
