Temples in Counties
I'm somewhat confused over how Cedrism operates in various counties. Does Shireroth treat each county like a Christian diocese, with a bishop each, or are they all treated as subject to a chief temple of the duchy they're located in?

Re: Temples in Counties
Eh, if it were up to me it'd probably be the former, I really don't think Cedrism would be organised enough to reflect the feudal structure...

Re: Temples in Counties
Sooo... doesn't Cedrism have an organised hierarchy?
Please note that although I am interested in Cedrism, I do not wish to get involved in its complexities as an ordained member of its priesthood or whatever - far too much of that in Matbaa for my liking
Anyway, I've dedicated Brookshire Hamlet's temple to Malarbor himself.

Re: Temples in Counties
You don't really have to get that involved. All you really have to know is that it is great to make things go BOOM. So, take any handy grenade or firecracker, pull the pin or light the fuse, and throw it in joyful celebration.

Re: Temples in Counties
The only organization to the religion on the mortal level is the main Temple in Mirioth, and the High Priest, and the main priests of the various gods there.. Myself being the Priest of Mors. Outside that, there is no organization. Kinda the point.

I see. Doesn't explain why the Shirewiki page on Cedrism seems so complex tho...
B'caw must be the best Cedrist deity out there!

Indeed. This story, too, can be found in Microscope.... it's a very short one, though. See page 61.

No - didn't know Mors was a god anyway - but I think Erik's been obsessed with death and the like since before Cedrism... or the time at which all the divine census-ness got underway.

Those who are new here may not even realize there were a bunch of Kaiseresses with names other than their own, but they were all actually males hiding behind the female personna.
