New Religions?

[Suvok]

Today I decided to scrap two of my useless alts and replace them with better ones. I deleted them and went about creating my new character. When it came to choosing the characters religion, I noticed someting odd. Two more religions have been added to the selection box. Xiosia and Dakkru. I did a quick search on these names and found nothing in the forums or in the official docs.

So. Is there something I should know about or am I just seeing things?

There are quite a lot of different gods. Some are named in the settings, such as Talad, Laanx, Vodul and the Black Flame, others aren't named yet, but do exist too. The settings team is continuously working on new material, but the story is yet not finished and with time there will be some material about other gods be available in game.

That there are yet no information about these two gods means, that the information for it has either not yet been written, or has yet not been put in game (or you haven't found it, yet )

Do not think of these gods as "new" religions or "new, unexperienced" gods, but more like ancient ones no one has yet written about, or has not yet handed Jayose the books

My point was that we are given the choice of following these religions, but we are not told what they are and what they entail. I am aware that the settings is not yet complete, I was merely asking a question regarding the seemingly new addition. Obviously, we are to assume that there are more gods. In the first epoch it states that Laanx and Talad spoke to "older and more experianced gods".

It just srikes me odd that we can choose to follow these gods, but we don't know what we are following...

Well, what I wanted to say is, that the information will be added soon, just have a little patience. There will be given information either on the website, or in in-game books or both. But besides, I agree, that the information should be available before the option to chose these religions, perhaps it as enabled too early by an accident (not sure if it is possible to add it to the db and disable it with a flag until it is needed).

I'm patient  You have to be when playing PS

It was possibly an accident. I suppose the only way to find out is to wait for a member of the settings team to post here *nudge* *nudge* *cough* *cough*

Out of safety reasons I wouldn't make a character that follows that religion yet. Since we know nothing about it you'll most likely make things up that will turn out to be invalid eventually. Either way, it's not like the character creation is set in stone. Eventually you create your character however you want, the character creation just gives it some starting skills and stats. So it's perfectly possible to 'convert' to the new religions as soon as we know more about them.

Does not a blurb show up when you highlight/click/whatever the religion's name, just as you do with any other choices in the char creation?

Here it shows the cost of CP only.

Only blurbs for experiances and jobs

I agree with Zan, soon(tm) you will understand.

Xillix, the religion popups are only visible with a .20 client

Personally if I wanted to know a little more about their religion I would look to see what difference choosing said religion made to my final character, or rather what effect choosing only that option had. Whatever bonus it gives would likely give a hint as to its focus.

New religions sounds like fun. It only creates more diversity in the game which would make sense when so many races were from different worlds.
