New Religions?

[Suvok]

Also, just wondering, why have they been put into Character Creation if we don't know anything about them?

When version .20 is released you will be able to read information about all religions in char creation.

so that means that people doing the sharven/laanx quests will be laanx followers only? will there be no way to change faiths? no way to venerate all gods in even a minor way?

I mean that you won't be able to choose polytheism as a character creation choice. You will be able to gain faction with other faiths, however. Hopefully once you're able to take a look at the descriptions (which will include examples of people most likely to revere them) you'll have a much better idea of which faith is best for your character and probably won't need to change.

I was thinking that it might be possible to get some minor blessing from the gods, say perhaps the ability to cast a minor spell of a particular way but that the real benefits would come from adhering closely to the sects ways. For example I have yet to discover the healing glyph, I suspect it is given to you for delving deeper into the Laanx temple quest tree and I have not wanted to align myself too closely there. I donated my 1000 tria and delivered the lost scroll but that is about it ... old coin is one too? Anyway I do not wish to follow any particular gods at the moment but I might like to acknowledge their power and keep on their good side.

As far as needing to change faiths, it was not a necessity I am thinking of but it is possible to role play someone with vacillating allegiances or who experiences an epiphany at some point. How can a bad character ever experience redemption or a good one go bad if they cannot turn their backs on their former life?

One day when factions have more impact yes bilbous all of that will be feasible.
