Temple to Gorm Gulthyn in Felbarr?

Post by Hyme »

I would like to know if we could get a temple to Gorm Gulthyn build in Felbarr? Maybe a P-Storage too. Also could we change some of Runegate guards to Vigilant Host guards.
I would be willing to pay in game for this if need be. Should be one of this two:
Simple House/Apartment: 1000-3000 GP One to Three Rooms.
Sturdy House/Small Farm: 5000 GP Four to Six Rooms
Temples of Gorm are always plain, unadorned stone caverns or rooms quarried from solid rock. The altar is a stone bench in front of a closed, locked door of massive construction, representing a location that a dwarf might have to guard. Instead of a stone bench, a temple might use an old tomb casket; if occupied, it must be by a fallen, not undead, priest of Gorm. Such chambers are often adorned with visored helms, or if particularly blessed, a shield or breastplate with twin eyeholes burned through, as discussed above under Other Manifestations. The Sentinel's chapels are typically adjacent to an armory, a training hall, and barracks, and most such houses of worship are located amidst fortifications that guard entrances to the halls of the Stout Folk.

The clergy of Gorm are collectively known as Guardians or Guardian-Priests. Novices of Gorm are known as the Watchful Guards. Full priests of Fire Eyes are known as the Vigilant Host. In ascending order of rank, the titles used by Gormite priests are Lockout of the First Rank, Scout of the Second Rank, Sentry of the Third Rank, Sentinel of the Fourth Rank, Defender of the Fifth Rank, and Guardian of the Sixth Rank. High Old Ones have unique titles but are collectively known as Lord/Lady Protectors. Specialty priests are known as barakor, a dwarvish word that can be loosely translated as those who shield. The clergy of Gorm includes both shield dwarves (48%) and gold dwarves (52%). While there are no formal barriers to either gray dwarves or jungle dwarves joining the ranks of Gorm's clergy, none are known to have done so in recent history. The Sentinel's clergy is dominated by specialty priests (41%), with the remainder nearly balanced between clerics (22%), crusaders (20%), and fighter/clerics (17%). The clergy of Fire Eyes is 95% male.

Day-to-Day Activities : The Vigilant Host guards most clanhold entries, the Gates on the borders of The Deep Realm, as well as all temples of Gorm. Priests of Gorm serve as protectors and bodyguards for all dwarves, especially the young and childrearing parents of both sexes. They instruct dwarven warriors fulfilling such roles in the arts of alertness, blindfighting, and weapons-skills (in other words, in campaigns using proficiencies, the priests of Gorm can tutor dwarves in all proficiencies useful to guardians). The foremost aim of any lesser priest of Gorm is to protect the dwarves assigned to him. Veteran priests of higher rank may choose whom they protect. If this involves sacrificing one's life, so be it; that is "Gorm's greatest price," as every priest of Gorm knows.

Priestly Vestments: The clergy of Gorm favor red and black cloaks and helms, worn over armor of the finest metal and type available. The holy symbol of the faith is a miniature bronze shield that is usually worn around the neck on a burnished steel chain as a medallion.

Adventuring Garb: When adventuring or on guard duty, Gorm's priests always wear and wield the best armor and weapons available. Members of Gorm's clergy never remove all their armor or lay aside all their weapons unless sorely wounded or in need of care. Members of the Vigilant Host often mark their status with red and black armbands on the left and right arms, respectively.

As of now I/we play it as the Felbarr Elders are the ones having access to the temples as any other way will result in us be forced to tool up ALL temples. We are discussing adding a few altar-rooms which might be what you refer to but when this will happen I cant set a date on.
One single hall like Felbarr dont build a fullblown temple to each of the true gods and the two first altar-rooms will be to Truesilver ofcourse due her dogma and then Moradin, third most likely should be Clangeddin and after that I would believe a common praying room would be built if we dont go crazy and give each their own grand space.
However, should a player approach the Felbarr elders and say he plan to pay for a dedicated temple it Im sure Felbarr wont say no :P

I can say for a fact there exist atleast one altar to Gorm in TSM, there exist a prayer-room covering ALL of the "true"- mordinsamman but few know if it and even less can direct you to it, but its out there, I spent some time in it :P Then we do have Dugmarens temple ofcourse, Moradin have one (if not more), Dumanthoin is extremly represented with his natural crystalcavern
TSM ofcourse have altars to both Ladugaer and Abbathor which are dwarven gods aswell

Could i get this to move to 03 The Silver Marches forum?

Well i am close to having ~500 gold, so it will be some time before i have 1000 to 3000 gold for a Simple House. I may just ask if i can get a Cottage/Peasant Hovel/: 500 GP One room, No Locks.

I i am not asking for a huge temple here. Just a one room shrine with unadorned stone caverns or rooms quarried from solid rock. The altar is a stone bench in front of a closed, locked door. Oh and maybe a P-Storage too. Oh a priest of Gorm Gulthyn so i can get full serves. It would help with my RP alot. Anyways how much do you think this would cost? Please let me know so i can start saving up for it.

As I said...
Altar-rooms in Felbarr are beeing discussed and are on the "to-do-list" and these will get in once we are happy with the look and layout of ALL the altar-rooms.

Rooms in Felbarr with Pchest is allready beeing discussed and will make it in as soon we are done tooling the stuff that a larger group of people will gain from but ofcourse dwarfs should have a Pchest to store their valubles in. :)
The designated toolset-hours just as DMing however are when RL permit as that is the only way ALFA can work and continue as a free comunity.

If anyone feel at home tooling up Felbarr areas with all it means plz feel free to contact HDMcurm or myself, that might speed things up abit.
