Poll: Which deity do you intend to worship now that the eight are revealed?

[VizP]

Well thats it then - we know the right.. now I want to ask you.... which deity are you intending to worship? For those that are behind on events, here are your choices:Qeynos ONLY:TunareMithaniel MarrQuelliousFreeport ONLY:InnoruukCazic ThuleRallos ZekNeutral (No restriction):Brell SerelisSolusek Ro----Developers have stated they understand the importance of a deity to a character and this will add quests and rewards/skills/items that will be meaningful for your choice. You will be able to change faction but your previous faction advancement will be erased (they also pointed out other deities will be added in the future which will follow this rule). Likewise if you wish to change to an opposite faction but 'were' allied to a deity, they wlll stop giving quests. i.e Follower of Tunare moving to Freeport = no more advancement for Tunare from then on.Anyway with those ground rules in place, who are you leaning towards?My choice - Solusek Ro - he embodies a lot of my characters personality - constantly connected with 'evil' although often misunderstood and actions seemingly erratic but in truth governed by certain internal choices, my character sadly can't follow his mother Tunare (Freeport Koada'dal) and considers that even though she has decided to turn her back to him, she can't do it forever. Until then the Lord of Flame will be the one that will assist him in his path (and the roleplay idea is that he sees a dream where a representative of Solusek speaks to him - same as with others that Solusek noticed would help guide his return and his future on Norrath again). So yes.. <font color="#ffcc33">Lord of Flame</font> here.<div></div>

If the third neutral ends up being Veeshan, i'm going that way, but Cazic-Thule otherwise.

[Tanatz]

I'm looking forward to having them worship gods that wouldn't seem like the obvious choice.  ^^^<div></div>

[Lyriel]

My main, a Koada'dal illusionist, will remain faithful to Tunare as she has from her beginnings. So will my Koada'dal templar. My Teir'dal necromancer will at least pay lip service to Innoruuk, on the theory that it couldn't hurt to cozy up to him (though at her core, she's more of an agnostic). Her twin sister, a brigand, will have to consider her options more thoroughly, though she also leans toward at least trying to get along with those who follow Innoruuk for expediency's sake. My halfling provisioner will hold out for Bristlebane, whenever he decides to stop napping and start behaving at least a little like an immortal again. The froglok paladin among my avatars will of course stay true to Mithaniel Marr. My Kerran troubador is rather unsure of what her ultimate choice will be.

[VizP]

For the guy stating that if Veeshan is the last, thats going to be their choice.. sorry thats not possible. You see developers have stated there will ONLY be eight worshipable deities and thats the ones listed. I know there are nine prophets and there is a 'lot' of debate in that huge thread in this forum on that. My thoughts is that the final deity is indeed Veeshan bringing together dragonkind to take back her world and the Eight are returning for their own agendas but most likely against Veeshan. But yes, if it is Her, she isnt a choice and as you can imagine it would be odd to worhsip a deity who cares little for your kind (no player character is dragonkin).<div></div>

[Xyran]

My Dark Elf Dirge (tho may possibly turn to Troubador) will worship Solusek Ro.<div></div>

[Troubor]

<P>I've already stated that my High Elf Paladin worships both Marr Twins with at least some nod toward Tunare, so if I'm only allowed one diety, then will be Marr.  If one can actually do quests for both (or "split worship", much like how one can do more then one AA line) then I guess I'd focus on Marr more, but do some work for Tunare also.</P> <P>My RP son is also a paladin, his RP sister a ranger...I play the son, suspect he'd go more strictly Marr.  Daughter and RP wife is of course up to the person playing them, but almost sure my daughter will do Tunare, not sure on Casey...as posted in the elven fertility thread, she's actually someone who was accidently gated into Norrath, so not sure if she will even pick a diety, follow whatever her husband picks or decide to pay some homage to one in game, while in RP still giving some homage to a diety from her old homeworld.</P> <P>Other alts...Noote is a Froglok, adopted son of Troubor, my main..so probably Marr.  Not sure on the others yet, although most of my characters are good alligned....mostly don't play him now, but do have a low level monk I could see worshipping Quellious.</P> <P> </P><p>Message Edited by Arvig on <span class=date_text>07-28-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:05 PM</span>

Since my char is a Halfling Fury... I don't know if i want to worship one of those 8 gods = I mean Tunare would be a close choice but i still wanted Karana to be put in :smileysad: Karana just fits better with a Fury instead of Tunare.

Hmmm...considering the ones I was hoping for aren't confirmed yet...My wizard - Solusek RoMy monk - QuelliousMy assassin - Cazic-ThuleMy inquisitor - Brell (she drinks hehe oh and she's dwarven)and then there's my Ratongan Ranger...I believe she will remain atheistic until someone finds Bristlebane. I <i>really</i> don't see her worshipping Tunare. For one, even though she betrayed quite young in life, well let's just say you can take the ratonga out of Freeport, but you can't take Freeport out of the ratonga.

<P>Stupid question...I'm a Ratongan Swashbuckler in Qeynos, but my deity is Brell. He's listed as a neutral deity. Aren't the Neutral deities only for Exiled?</P> <P>Kind of presents a challenge...</P>

[VizP]

<div></div>No - neutral deities are available to ALL regardless of faction. The number of permanent exiles is very very small, most are in transition from one place to another so it is highly unlikely that 'exiles' would ever be considered a seperate faction on their own. Developers are indicating that they are drawing towards exiles will be able to worship all deities (as opposed to being limited to just neutral deities) but if they later choose to move to a city and it conflicts with the faction requirements of the deity they are following, they will cease to advance with the deity from then on. Considering exiles are severely disadvantaged not only by lack of direct brokers (must play fence tax on both cities) and no city writs (which is rather big) AND no housing except Maj'dul. its not exactly a very popular choice except for a diehard rper that has worked it into their story to the point that they will suffer the ingame hardshop for the sake of their characters choice.. noble <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Anyway a couple of posts in this thread has really made me change my mind on my deity choice. I sometimes read that people would find it hard for a Koada'dal to worship Innoruuk but it seems to me that the Koada'dal would actually make the best followers of Innoruuk.. even better than the Tier'dal. Why? Because the Koada'dal HATE Innnorruk the most - for taking their royalty and turning them into the Tier'dal race. And what does Innorruk enjoy? Those that hate him above all others, an emotion he happily returns.There is this very interesting piece of lore in which Innoruuk boasts about the fact that he never actually did anything directly to the Koada'dal King and Queen after he abducted them except letting their own hatred fester and consume them so completely that they turned into a perfect manifestation of hatred and pretty much tormented and tortured each other. Sounds horrifying but sounds just about right.For my character, the fact that Tunare shuns him will be a very hard blow to take - the knowledge she 'will' forgive him if he gives up the dark mystic arts but he can not understand how his mother could 'ever' forsake him. After all, isnt the ultimate duty of every parent to forgive their children? And even if she is willing to one day, he doesnt understand what he has to be sorry for when all he sought was to use knowledge and power for 'good' and the concept of 'evil' was highly subjective in the first place!Innoruuk on the other hand likely simply wants followers who can fan hatred within - regardless of race and background. So if his representative contacts my character one day in a dream as one of many other 'prominant' characters that have had impacts on events, I can imagine this exchange:----<font color="#ccccff">Silthian: 'I hate you Innoruuk, all you represent, what you did to my kind - how dare you think I would follow you?'</font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff">Innoruuk: 'Indeed, and just how much do you hate me?'</font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff">Silthian: 'More than you can imagine - if I could, I would show you torment beyond you imagination, more than you ever did to our King and Queen. Immortal or not, I'll show you what real darkness is'</font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff">Innoruuk: Show me.... yes... let that hatred fester. With it will come that power you have always craved.</font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff">Silthian: If I ever have the chance, you will regret the day you ever came to me. </font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff"></font><font color="#ccccff">Innoruuk: And I hate you too just like I hate every one of your kind, every pitiful sniveling thing.

<div></div><div></div>Yes I understand that - well... in terms of my character its always been an attempt to hold onto the hope that he keeps on trying to be good even though its quite clear that he is losing his soul on each and every step. By his hatred of Innoruuk, yes that one step in itself may not be enough, its likely just the first that will lead onto many more. After all it all starts with wanting power and when one realises that 'hatred' allows power by Innoruuk's blessing, then why just hate him when there is an abundance of things to hate (and thus gain more power from)? At least for my character who has been pretty much prejudged from the moment he chose the dark mystic arts (koada'dal defiler - yet one could always argue that paladins seem to always have the right to be judge, jury AND executioner and never gain criticism yet why can't a defiler choose the souls of evil people as an energy source to do 'good' in the world? Suddenly that is a taboo.. interesting arguments), Simply he has been through enough to pretty much hate his own kind for judging him, every other race for being 'inferior' yet daring to convey the fact they are the same and heaven forbid even Tunare for forsaking her own son?Hatred breeds more hate. I think to follow Innoruuk all you ever need is to hate 'him' with all you have. Once you take that first step, tis pretty much a slippery slope from then on. I really am beginning to find the whole Innoruuk lore and concept pretty alluring - it is definitely a really interesting idea and perfect especially for playing characters that become tragic villians. The above examples of people that Innoruuk has trapped such as the war widow follower of Erollisi and the paladin are great stories to say the least <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Im sure one can add my character to the list by the time its all over but it'd be nice to know he wasn't bad from the start but you could see the journey that took him way into the darkness...<div></div><p><span class="time_text"></span></p><p>Message Edited by VizP on <span class=date_text>08-02-2006</span> <span class=time_text>10:02 AM</span>

quote: 'ALL PRAISE INNORUUK. OUR LORD AND CREATOR'---I am pretty sure that is exactly what Innoruuk trule dislikes - unless praising him involves stating how much you hate him, how much you despise him, how much you despise everyone including your fellow followers and even yourself <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> If praising him involves cheering his name and running through the streets rallying everyone to do the same, I think Innoruuk's response will be of pretty much sending you to oblivion <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Which reminds me, I think Innoruuk has always found it deeply amusing when the Tier'dal have regarded him as the 'Father' and creator when all he has had is complete disdain and mockery for his own 'children' <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> And expects nothing but the same if not more in return!Truly - the beautiful part of anything Innoruuk is the hate-hate-hate relationship. Im pretty sure that the only followers he has any respect for are the ones that curse his name every day and curse the world and everything in it. There really is no 'praise' involved whatsoever. And if there is... well, I think you'll find you have a problem if you ever have the misfortune to gai audience with him <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /><div></div>

My alts are going to be a LOT easier for me than my main. My High Elf Templar will be Tunare, my Dark Elf Paladin will almost-certainly be Mithaniel Marr, but I'm having REAL problems deciding what to do with my High Elf Necromancer. Innoruuk won't work, since unending hate isn't the main part of his personality, but rather cold calculation (my character's story is in my sig). Also he DOES feel things like Love, loyalty, etc, and other things that Innoruuk is against (love at the least any true follower of Innoruuk sees as a "weak" trait (look it up in the eq1 lore, it's right there in Inny's description)). But above all, hate is NOT a motivator in my character's life any longer (only in his borderline-insanity did it have sway), so Inny just doesn't seem to fit in an RP fashion.So basically I'm torn between Cazic Thule (my necro uses fear to his advantage continually) and Solusek Ro (a calculating, power-hungry god). The problem with Cazic is that his followers are ruled by fear in every aspect of their lives, fear of him, fear of others, instilling fear in others. While he does use fear to his advantage towards others, fear isn't something he himself feels easily, and thus is not ruled by it. It is a tool, little more. Solusek Ro seems a possible alternative, as he exemplifies power and control, though with a fury that is also threatening to break loose at any time.So Sol Ro I think, but honestly, none "fit" perfectly IMO.

Lets see....Anoki, my HE Freeport Troubadour, will probably go with Solusek. But only until Bristlebane pops up again likely. He's looking for a god suitable for a con man, a fast talking trickster, so until Bristlebane comes in, SolRo will suffice.Saroc, my Armorsmith, is moving to Kelithin as soon as he can and restoring his connection with Brell as soon as possible, probably through a lot of application of Brell's Blessed Stout. (They need to add the beer summoning necklace again for Brell followers. <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> )Taryx, my wizard jewelcrafter is going the classic wizard route and following SolRo as well.Kroki, my woodcrafter rogue will either stay agnostic, or go along with Rallos for now.and Chariana, my fury, will stay agnostic until I get around to moving to Freeport, at which point she will heed the calling of Tunare... at least until the return of Karana.Oh and I'll probably bring my ranger back once EOF comes as a Tunare follower through and through in Kelethin.<div></div>

She would go with Cazic-Thule because he's good for goth cred, but you know, he looks like a pile of orc manure. And she's all shallow like that. Tymolin, Wood Elf monk could go Tunare. Or she could go crazy and betray to go play with Rallos as a bruiser. Either way she's sexy! Yazzi, Ratonga Ranger, would be TUnare. Until Karana shows up. BOOM! hehehehehehe! Thal, Iksar Shadowknight... Cazic-Thule. The other gods don't exist. Even if they did, they would be scared of Cazic-Thule. Saia, Iksar Coercer... What? She IS God. Your god, anyway... Krashar, Kerran Paladin, will gladly offer his worship to any diety that will make him NOT look like a heavily tranquilized Orang Utan.

He is the patron god of Wizards in the same way that Rallos Zek is the patron god of Warriors, Innoruuk is the patron god of Dark Elves, and Quellious is the patron goddess of playing with Barbies. Five of the six Wizard races can worship the Great Lord (the only exception being the Frogloks, who, as a new race, have no roleplaying depth at all), and the only other class that can follow Him is the Bard. Wizards have the ability to Imbue only one type of holy stone: the Fire Opal, sacred gem of Solusek Ro. The Temple of Solusek Ro is the home to some of our greatest quests, including our epic weapon and the Staff of Temperate Flux, and is guarded by an all-Wizard Seeker squadron of Seekers and Keepers. The other deities show no such magnanimity towards Wizards: most of them only help out their chosen few - and in most cases, these few are the Clerics, Druids, Necromancers, Paladins, and Shadow Knights who specifically worship them. Why worship a diety who cares nothing for your class?<BR><BR>Solusek Ro is generally regarded as the God of Fire, Power, and Arcane Knowledge. His actions over the centuries have generally reinforced this view: he certainly enjoys fire and magma, especially when used in an offensive manner (as does any good Wizard); and he has constructed a Temple where his servants, devoted to the pursuit of Power, share valuable knowledge with those who prove their worth.<BR><BR>The other deities generally have messages that are shockingly removed from the job description of a Wizard. Wizards are supposed to be the diehard seekers of power and knowledge at all costs, caring nothing for objects and actions that do not help them attain their goal. Instead, these other dieties clog this spartan and straightforward purpose with excess baggage, such as Save the bunnies! Violence isn't the answer and Puss is sexy! Not only are most of these messages totally unrelated to the goal of acquiring magical power, they’re downright unwizardly. Wizards want to blow stuff up and get a bigger spellbook, not protect the rainforests.<BR><BR>Thankfully, that is exactly Solusek Ro's philosophy: blow up anyone who disagrees with you while you actively search for power. His actions over the course of Norrath's history reflects this mentality. It was the Great Lord Solusek Ro who destroyed the ancient Elven empire on Tunaria (now called Antonica). Tunare's children had built a sprawling realm in the forests and plains of the southeast of the continent, with outposts that encompassed almost every part of the landmass. Great marble cities did the High Elves build, and the Wood Elven tree-cities dotted the gargantuan Eldar Forest in which they lived. But these Elves, servants of the impotent demigoddess Tunare as they were, drew the wrath of the Great Lord. He drove the peaks of the Serpent's Spine mountains upwards into the vault of heaven, and brought the Sun's power down on the Elven lands. The entire empire, with all its Druids and arcane casters (including, presumably, many Wizards), as well as their goddess Tunare, fought against Solusek Ro's punishment. But to no avail. Their land, once green and vibrant and filled with life, is now the Desert of Ro: three territories of endless rock and sand, inhabited only by venomous spiders and snakes, the undead, and groups of orcs and sand giants. All of Tunare's creations were forced to flee from what had been their home for centuries, to eke out a new life for themselves on the continent of Faydwer. Such is the punishment of those who draw the ire of the Burning Prince.<BR><BR>Solusek Ro has also been implicated in the destruction of the ancient Gnomish city of Klik'Anon, and travelers from His Tower report that he is currently devising a means to turn all of Norrath into a flaming wasteland, with endless pools of lava and a sky choked with ash, with brimstone falling from the heavens rather than rain. The thought of such a world might make you ecstatic and choked up with glee. That's entirely natural - you're a Wizard, after all.<BR><BR>As you can most likely see, Solusek Ro's philosophies match perfectly those of the Wizard class, but if you're still not convinced there are other perks. Solusek Ro's repertoire of deity-specific items consists of only two items, but both of these are definitely among the best available for a Wizard at the point in time you can get them (unlike some other gods: you'll be lucky if you even catch a glance of their equipment!). The Imbued Platinum Fire Rings are undoubtedly the best input-reward rings in the game for a young wizard (arguably, for a Wizard all the way up into his 50's): combined, they give you +16 INT, +90 Mana, +20 HP, and +8 Fire Resistance. They do have the side effect of nuking your Strength by 16 points, but this really isn't a big deal as long as you travel light and teleport to banks whenever you get full. And best of all, they require only three ingredients: an enchanted platinum bar (have an Enchanter enchant a normal platinum bar), an imbued fire opal (have a Wizard with Imbue Fire Opal imbue a normal fire opal), and a willing jeweler. There really isn't any competition to this as far as the other deities are concerned, especially considering you'll never get your fingers on a single scrap of their armor unless you have platinum pouring out of all your orifices.<BR><BR>Solusek Ro also wins, hands down, in the faction department. Some Agnostics will try to win you over to the path of godlessness with the We have better faction argument.<BR>THEY'RE LYING.<BR>Agnostic faction is absolutely identical to Solusek Ro faction, with only two exceptions: Solusites are amiably in the Temple of Solusek Ro, and KOS in the Plane of Growth. The Plane of Growth is Tunare's plane: a completely useless crapheap filled with nature-loving hippies. If you're a Dark Elf, you'll be KOS in the Plane of Growth no matter what you do, so there's no reason not to worship Solusek Ro!<BR>The other major argument that the misinformed make against Solusek Ro is that worshiping some other god will get you liked more in your home city. THEY'RE ALSO LYING.<BR>The Wizard guilds in your home city will like you no matter what god you pick - about the only people who care are the Clerics, and who needs them! For Dark Elves, worshiping Solusek Ro over Innoruuk will get you accepted into parts of many cities that would otherwise beat the grape juice out of you. For Erudites and Gnomes, worshiping Solusek Ro over other, more goody-two-shoes gods will get you accepted with open arms into Neriak and the evil outpost on Kunark, invaluable tools for the intrepid adventurer - and all while keeping your ties to good and neutral cities intact!<BR><BR>So, a message to all you individuals thinking about making a Wizard - only one god is the God of Wizardry. That god is Solusek Ro, the Burning Prince, Lord of Fire, Keeper of Knowledge, Seeker of Power, and all-around badass.</DIV> <DIV> <HR> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Tyrrax on <span class=date_text>08-06-2006</span> <span class=time_text>06:57 AM</span>

<DIV>I'll worship the god with the most benefits for my class.  Follower for hire!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

[Fayline Fyrecat]

<DIV>I'm pretty torn as to whom I will worship.  Most of my first choices aren't available initially.  My first  choice would have been Erollisi Marr, as that is who Fayline the 1st (from EQ1)  worshipped.  Otherwise, I would choose between the benefits of Povar, Druzzil Ro, or Karana.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>From those available from the outset, it's a tough decision as a conjuror.  Being a high-elf, I'm leaning towards Tunare, but I'm not really a roleplayer so the abilities that come with the god of choice is going to be a more deciding factor.  My priority in choosing a god will probably be damage prevention in the form of stuns/stifles, or even mez (mitigation and self-defense are not of much use to a pet class).  Healing would be good, but again only if it's a targetable spell that I can use on my pet.  Sol Ro?  Well, if it's a bonus to fire damage that gives me all of one spell from which to benefit; and only one of my pets would benefit if pets are included at all.  If my pet does not get the benefit of my worship, then forget it.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>So I'll be leaning towards Tunare to begin with, but put me in the "wait and see" category.</DIV>

[troodon]

<P>I'm unsure for my Shadow Knight.  He doesn't worship any of the Gods of the pantheon, but I've never been one to let RP get in the way of making a better character.  I figure I'll choose Cazic, Zek, or Solusek but just pretend he doesn't worship any of them. </P> <P>For my Guardian it will be Zek, without question.  I'll have to exile him to get this choice but that's ok; the Qeynosians never really accepted him.</P> <P>For my Fury it's Innoruuk.  I made him at launch with the intention of him being an Innoruuk-worshipping Troll Fury, something I thought would be a rather interesting combo :smileyhappy:</P><p>Message Edited by troodon on <span class=date_text>08-07-2006</span> <span class=time_text>02:24 PM</span>

<DIV>It' a very difficult decision for me, I am a Wood Elf Bruiser, that poses many choices:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Tunare - At one with nature, as all wood elves inherently are.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Quellious - A lost soul, once a monk, with rage and fire burning and consuming him but with a glimmer of hope, peace and tranquility and the yearning to be whole again.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Solusek Ro - The fire that consumes him, the rage that boils within cursed him to be cast out from the followers of Quellious after blind rage led to him killing four innocent young adventurers (one of the betrayal quests <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> lol) and betraying his once-home of qeynos.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Brell Serilis - While not as stalwart as many continued-dwarven friends, the path of the bruiser has led him to many a bar room brawl, often occasionally with friends and foe alike. While not quite Freeportian and sadly not of Qeynos, the young bruiser has ofttimes found his home, at the bottom of a dwarven ale stein.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Mithaniel Marr - Once a Paladin of the God of Valor (my character was a paladin in EQ1 who found peace and became a monk after his many battles), the young Wood Elf yearns for his former life, wondering where life would lead him. The return of the Gods signifies that maybe his chance has come at last, but will Mithaniel Marr turn his back on the one that had first forsaken him?</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Innoruuk - The burning hatred within the wood elf for those that killed his family consumes him quickly, this deity smiles and stokes the flames, growing this flickering flame to become a mighty blaze that will consume all in it's path!</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Cazic Thule - All has been lost, everything the young bruiser once loved dearly, struck down without mercy by the forces of darkness (courtesy of Cazic Thule but unbeknowest to the young elf). In darkness the elf waits, shuddering with quiet rage, his enemies will learn and grow to fear him, the sound of his name will strike fear into their hearts, the torture and agony of knowing death is stalking them, they will wait in anxiety and trepidation for their doom, not knowing when their death will come.but certain it will be upon them...sometime.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Rallos Sek - There are many wars this wood elf will see, the war that rages between his reluctant home of freeport and his lost home of qeynos, his neverending war upon his enemies, those that destroyed his life and killed everything he ever loved and cared for. Most important of all, the war he will know with all consuming passion, that which has shaped events and made him what he is today, the evershifting battle of light and darkness within, rage and tranquility...good and evil.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Hmm...now that I've questioned every fiber of my character's being I need people to tell me what path I should choose. Betrayal is still an option (or betraying back again I should say <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> easy enough to do hehe).

Totally off topic but if you know R.A.

Anyway, the reason why I mention this is that in roleplaying fantasy, race can mean something or not, on the other hand class can mean something or not as well.

He was......tension...... more dramatic tension ...HUMAN!Yes, read through the SK epic from EQ1, and you'll see that Inny bestowed the gifts of that profession on humans first (and it's interesting that to show your supreme dedication to hate, you actually need to kill Inny to complete said epic). And there were plenty of human inny worshippers in EQ1 as well (and I'd guess other races, though my memory is fuzzy on who all could worship him).

Rallos Zek for my halfling bruiser (My halfling warrior in EQ1 worshipped Rallos as well).My halfling fury is holding out for Karana.  He may not be present in Norrath, but she still believes in the force of nature.  No frou frou wimpy Tunare for her!My half-elf necro (half dark elf, half human) will worship Inny, although the power of fear also appeals to her.  She may end up following Cazic.  If Bertox was an option that would be her choice.<div></div>

Innoruuk, the only true choice as you all will soon find out.

[Angel eye]

I would have to...Give the gods the finger and say this is some wacked out conspiracy bull-crap. My god is me, and me alone. Define the meaning of "God" to me. There is no god, you recieve your powers from the balance of your self actions. A god is just a statue, a figurehead that people turn to because they cant learn to live and accept their real problems, and learn to love what they have. Not power, Not some pormotion from their "god", etc. The real god here is yourself. The soul of one is the sole god alone. Not the figurehead of the one you turn to when your problems arise to catastrophic size. But anyways, as long as people remain to hide between this conspiracy 'Oh no, the gods left, what are we going to do." Some guy on the street says "Im going to sit here until the gods come back" Guess what happened to that guy? He died sitting there waiting for a "firgurehead". If you really want to know the truth, the so called "gods" were there all the time, they never left. You just lost faith in yourselves becouse your "figurehead" left, not the god. Like I said, you can find your god inside yourself. So my answer is None. I worship no god because I know the truth and what a god really is. But as long as the games mechanics go, If I am forced to pick a god, I would have to pick Cazic-Thule. Although its a shame you cant worship Rallos...

a few of you seem to have it backwards on what brell thinks of the ratonga.  brell disapproved of the first "ratonga" which were the roekillik, because they were too evil and too dangerous, so he locked them away and created the ratonga, the ones people can play as now.<div></div>

[steelbadger]

nope, brell locked up the origional roekillik but he was also unhappy with their powers of deception (had from the touch of bristlbane when they where created).  Not that he it is said anywhere that he was sufficiently displeased to destroy them again though.  But he has also been completely detached from the ratongas and has had no dealings with us at all.It is stated on the official site and in the prima guide that the ratonga show no spiritual inclinations or visible worship of any diety.About the only thing remotely resembling it is the symbol that many have tattoo'd or emblazoned on their chest, which is described in the prima guide as a series of circles, one inside the another.  Closer examination shows unaligned gaps in each circle.I think that this is probably related to the wheel of vaniki, but there the trail ends for me as I have no idea what the wheel means, or who vaniki may be.<div></div>

My iksars will worship their creater god Cazic Thule my Dark elf Shadowknight will of course worship the god of Hate Innoruk himself. And my Woodelf Ranger will probaly worship tunare but it might be funny for him to worship Innoruk and have him ear the tile Destroyer of Faries.
