Title: Religion in PlaneShift
Post by: SkwirlDude on October 17, 2003, 02:24:00 am
I am not talking about RL religions, so do get all worked up. I am just wondering, are there any guilds centered around the worship of Laanx or Talad? I think that that would be very cool.

Currently there are no Guilds centered on the belief of Laanx or Talad.

How would you know that there are no guilds which worship Talad/Laanx, Moogy? Just because you\'re mod, doesn\'t mean you know *everything*. That\'s my job you know. :D

No, there are no guilds \"believing \" in Laanx/Talad, as in being strong followers of the two gods, however many individuals believe in the two. At least I believe in Talad, \'cause I know he exists. I\'ve talked to him! OooOOoo! :D

I believe that\'s the first time someone\'s argued with me and agreed with it at the same time.


I meant that there are currently no guilds that have made themselves known in the forums, that worship Laanx or Talad.

heh, ryane :P

There was silverblade\'s guild, I forget exactly what it was about, but there was something about them looking for some god that didn\'t exist...too bad silverblade isn\'t around anymore to clear that up

btw grono, did you know your sig link to the bbb instead of the OI site?

EDIT: ah...here is from their page

Whether they follow one or not, all people of all races, know that there are two gods of this world. Laanx and Talad. At least this is what they think they know. There are a special few who think differently. There were, according to the hunters of hel, actualy 3 gods involved in this underground world. Laanx and Talad, who mean no harm, do what they do to gain faith and respect of their followers. The third god, hel, has a much more sinister regime. For thousands of years, while Laanx and Talad have quarreled, Hel has been waiting. Waiting and hiding. For hel did want to be found. Hel did not want followers. That would be her greatest strength. When she unleashes her power, and spreads desolation all over our perfect environment, no-one will have expected it. No-one will be able to put up any defense. Luckily, we hunters of hel know. You may say we have no proof, but we know. Our ancestors knew, as did our ancestors, ancestors. The Hunters of Hel are dedicated to finding the evil god before it is too late. We know she hides in the stone Labrynth\'s... and we will find her. It is unknown what we may do when we find her, but we will. Until then, she waits. Waits, hides, and grows in might all the while.

That is odd, i dont remeber reading anything about a fourth god named Hel. As far as I know Hel is a god from Norse Mythology.

Post by: Kiern on October 17, 2003, 10:56:33 pm
Yeah, Silverblade made it up for his guild, I guess so they could have more of a \"purpose\"

Post by: Caldazar on October 18, 2003, 11:22:55 am
Follow-up: Hel is indeed the female ruler of the underworld in Norse mythology, in swedish called Asa-tron ;)
You are quite wellinformed for an american. :P

Post by: Watcher on October 18, 2003, 05:27:08 pm
Ahh ha also the christans named there underworld after this goddess
Hel into Hell
Dont ask me why I dont know probably because satan was a bad name for the underworld.
Title: I will
Post by: Natrina on October 18, 2003, 06:25:50 pm
worship gods if temples start to exist, at least a statue. There is a kind of pedestral in the temple, I usually worship anyone whos on it. lololol. Well now Im going to post that idea on the wishlist. :)

BAH! dont you know anything about worship. i plea to you drop your false gods and worship the almighty gold cow

**bows to his highness the gold cow**

now im looking for members to help build a 600 Foot tower. of course it will mean the knocking down of the statue in the middle of the town but for the almighty gold cow all steps must be taken. :D

i thank you for your time and hope to seeyou in the golden cows communal meetings soon :P

Gold cow church leader: Seperot :P :P :P

it is good to have some religions it might even give you some advatages or disadvatanges, like:\"if you worship talad you get more for sneaking ( only a example ) and less in magic or sumthin\"

if there are more then two gods like 4 or 5 you can use this system and it add\'s a kind of flavor to the game on top of the guilds and the guildwars.

EDIT: sep i disagree with you; The Great God of Death Dorbian is still the best :P
Title: lol
Post by: Natrina on October 18, 2003, 08:15:18 pm
now, dont make a fight cause of that! Wait till the next version and show who is the best god :P (Even if that is not much fair..)

Which is the best god? The Planeshift team! Lol. .just kidding :)

guilds that has not set a religion is skin.

Post by: SkwirlDude on October 20, 2003, 01:25:12 am
To Caldazar: unfortunately i only know that because i played Age of Mythology, i have no real interest in norse mythology :(

Actualy, the flame that took control of Laanx\'s lemurs could of been a 4rth god, i don\'t know

I plan on retaining my Stupid American-ism
Title: religion is here!
Post by: Kixie on October 20, 2003, 02:35:27 am
I am starting an official guild based on relgion here!
Think of us as religious zealots if you like. Visit http://www.laanxzealot.cjb.net! We base the religion around Laanx the only REAL god. Visit my site for your nearest recruiting station now!

ow dude, your website hurts my eyes, that\'s bad

Post by: Clover on October 20, 2003, 03:48:16 am
I\'m starting a religion based on the fact that our main religious being is spread among 17 cats.  If you are to meet these cats, you must present it with a hat, and only the finest of hats will do, and the cat will grant you a wish and then die, the spirit of the cat will enter another cat and life will continue as people search for that cat.  The only hard part is that you cant tell what cats are the 17 chosen cats!

Of couse talad isnt a real god! Cant you see that?! Laanx is the only REAL god! And she always will be! Talad, hide in your fortress! When we find you, you will pay dearly for your mistakes!!!!!!!!1
Title:
Post by: Kiva on October 20, 2003, 02:22:58 pm
Easy now, kid. Talad actually happens to be leader of the PlaneShift project, administrator on the boards as well as administrator of the PlaneShift server, so getting him (and his half-god friends) upset would not exactly prove anything, except that the one who does it is a great fool. :)

Post by: SkwirlDude on October 21, 2003, 12:41:01 am
i am very, very scared. My first thread sparked the creation of a guild! i fear i might actualy play a role in the history of Plane Shift.... or i might be forgoten in the passing of time.
Title: Bah i say!
Post by: Kixie on October 21, 2003, 12:59:17 am
Talad is not the real god! Laanx is the only real god! ~rabble rabble rabble rabble~ Laanx will save me! Laanx will save us all! :D Lol i love being the religious zealot!
Title:
Post by: Kiva on October 21, 2003, 03:08:57 pm
I\'m not sure but the only place I\'ve seen Laanx mentioned was on the page describing how PlaneShift was to become, and there is, of course, a Laanx temple... But who IS Laanx? (Don\'t be stupid and say \"Oh oh Laanx is a god\") Huh? Have any of you ever seen Laanx anywhere? Talked to her? Hmm? Have you? :D

Post by: dorbian on October 21, 2003, 04:51:02 pm
Well to be honest,  no i haven\'t but i dreamt of it ( another of the ps addiction :P )
