> > that seems a little sad. practically (I cant think of any at the moment actualy) every race, in any sci-fi/fantasy book Ive every read has had some sort of religion. Im not aware of any culture on earth that dosent have religion.. every religion has people who preach the faith. > If you have looked carefully at the temple, it says outright that few felar can be seen there and the temple seems ill-attended. The altar has few items at all in it, and they are all primitive in nature. The felar are the only race on CF that were created by mortals - not by any immortal - at least in the official mythology. Of course an immortal coded/designed them, but their history has mortal origins. Is it any wonder that as a race they feel they have no patron god? Indeed, are there any felar immortals at the moment? I cannot think of a single one. > Before the wars of freedom, I imagine the felar had a worship-cult in which they worshipped the mages who brought them life. But then they revolted against their own gods, so to speak, and so now they have none. > My $.02
> > Blackclaw has a temple in the middle of it (yes its probably a human healer - he will be influencing the felar there, hes a likeable fellow, some felar/fela are maybe want to be like him). I could give other reasons from playing a felar whos hometown was blackclaw why he would want to be a healer (or shaman)
