AGNUS DEI

[beander2]

With all due respect, I have to concur with AC_Merc and Zelot. While the storyline is deep and fascinating, and would in most ways add to RP gameplay, using an existing RL faith tradition in so straightforward a manner is troubling (especially during what is "Holy Week" for those who actually worship Agnus Dei). It seems that given the story parameters you mention, their referents (Bible, names of apostles, etc.) would need to be more explicitly twisted in some fashion. Otherwise, it seems to just appropriate a faith tradition as-is in RL and plug in drug-enhanced delusional characters. That doesn't make sense to me.

The one other thing I wonder about is whether the faction should be so friendly toward Kusari and Rheinland authorities, or even neutral to Bretonian and Liberty forces. It stands to reason that the "corrupted" are found everywhere, not simply in officially "corrupt" factions. In fact, would your faction not assume that there is something particularly lacking in the existing authorities?

On the other side of that coin, it also stands to reason that those house authorities would not take too kindly to interference by an outside military faction, especially one so fanatical. Were I a house authority, I would ban your presence in my territory, which of course means hostility. While this is a perfectly acceptable (and even interesting) RP scenario, there is no mechanism in your proposal to account for it.

That said, my compliments on the thought and work that went into this; it is a model for the rest of us.:)

(And Ghostface, there are other trading companies in the works, which should make things a little more interesting...;))

EDIT: Oniros posted above as I was writing this, so thank you for already addressing my first paragraph here. Very good work.
