Here are listed The Valentic Order's views on other popular teachings in Beluaterra (last updated 11/18/06).
Contents
The Path of the Great Dragon
Variant
- After speaking with their priests and studying their sacred scrolls, I have come to the conclusion that "The Great Dragon" they serve is actually a physical form taken by Rin, Ancient of Fire, to gain followers for himself. They are opposed to all forms of evil, and strive to do all they can to protect others from it as well. The followers of The Path should be treated as brothers & sisters. - Darrin
Qyrvaggism
Evil
- Based on my studies of their manuscripts and my discussions with their priests, I believe "Qyrvagg" is an ancient name for Xed, spirit of Hate. I have brought the word of Komar to them, but they did not accept him. Soon, it will be time to bring the sword. - Darrin
Order of the Druids
Variant
- I have yet to encounter any of their priests, but from my studies of their literature, I believe these Druids to be followers of Quil, Ancient of Trees. They are opposed to all forms of evil, acknowledge the Highfather (though not by name) and are devoted to the study of the Highfather's creation. The Druids should be treated as brothers & sisters. - Darrin
Hemaism
Evil
- The official religion of the Theocracy of Sint. Not much is known of their teachings, but they are insistant on persecuting our followers, and harass/attack our priests whenever we enter their lands. We have agreed to leave them alone for the time being, for our own safety. - Darrin
The Church of Estahsism
Misguided
- Most of the principles of this church seem to be in line with our own. They strongly support the advancement of humanity, and show a vauge disdain for evil. However, they seem to be more focused on personal advancement of their own empire, rather than the betterment of society as a whole. - Darrin
Omniovoism
Misguided
- Their religion is based on the worship of "The Egg" as they call it. Their published texts make no references of the Ancients. They seem to be committed to slaying the undead that still walk the lands of Beluaterra, which means they are opposed to some kinds of evil and are somewhat interested in helping their fellow souls. - Darrin
The Old Gods
Variant
- Their beliefs are very similar to our own. Of all the faiths on Beluaterra, this most closely resembles the goals & teachings of The Valentic Order. We consider this to be a sister faith. - Darrin
Hedonism
Evil
- While not inherently evil, this religion is solely focused on gratifying carnal pleasures, whatever they may be, and shows no regard for the rest of mankind. I have been beaten many times by their followers, and have come to think they view us as "Evil" for some reason.- Darrin
Ragnarok
Ignore
- Not enough information has been gathered to make a proper decision. - Darrin
Divine Order of Mentism
Variant
- This religion is dedicated to a supreme being it's teachers call "The Creator" (who we recognize as the Highfather. Though they reject the existance of the Ancients, all other spects of their teachings are in line with our own. - Darrin
Yggdrasili
Ignore
- Not enough information has been gathered to make a proper decision. - Darrin
Eretzism
Variant
- They have a similar view of the hierarchy of Ancients, and acknowledge a "higher power" ruling them (The Highfather). I believe the avatar they call "Laceus" is the Ancient we call Rigan. They are opposed to evil of all kinds and seem to be interested in helping their fellow souls. - Darrin
