[Adonthell-general] Sects and Factions

[Andrew Michael Phillips]

One of the main classifications of factions that I've come across is the 
religious sect. I've outlined the major objects of worship for each race, 
but I realized that before I can give names to these priestly orders, I 
should probably give names to their gods. As yet, I have only titles for 
the Mighty. Eventually, I'm going to have to name them all one way or 
another, but for now my question is as follows: We've established that the 
Dwarvish folk aren't terribly religious, so are they at all religious? Do 
I need to think about priestly orders for the Dwarvish folk? I've already 
kept their list of deities to a bare minimum.

I'm making more progress on the non-ecclesiastical groups - Rangers, 
Alchemists, Half-Elvish shamanic traditions, etc. I have little more than 
names for most of them, but that can change. In this area, the main 
problem I've come across is the Elvish schools of magic. Any suggestions 
would be appreciated, since I'm not sure how many to make, what they 
should do, or even what to call them.
