Given that I have a Priest of Shining Rael whos just made it to 8th, I felt it might be worth actually learning something about my God.

The rough outline of my knowledge is the fact that Rael is an npc blauz demigod with quite a rough outlook of the standard chaotic good character.

Anyhow, Id love to learn some background (well... that and be able to claim I actually know stuff about my God rather than blagging it). If anyone could tell me where I can find information, or, alternatively, post some info here, that would be really useful (the urge to write "Raelly useful" was so strong just then...).

Thanks in advance

Shining Rael is the mightiest of the Fire Angels, the father of Spiter. He doesn’t really care for mortals at all, which makes being a priest of his somewhat tricky.

He has been on Primus and met some of the more powerful mercenaries a few years back. They agreed to differ in the end and went their own ways (he had a 99% damage reduction to the back, damn him!)

There’s an enclave of Blauz that worship him in the Sunless, protected from the Soulwind that otherwise blisters the land.

For a priest of his it would probably all about emotion and sensation, really. Good and evil are concepts of no consequence – you feel things or you do not, and it’s always better to feel something than nothing.

It’s worth speaking with Christine Gentry too. I think her Blauz worship him in some form?

As Stuart has said the best person to speak to is Christine Gentry, her Blauze Ilorn, set up the enclave of non-Spiter Blauze.

As Stuart has also said worshipping Rael is to follow a being who really pays no attention to mortals and is alien in his concept of morality. For him there is no Good or Evil only feeling, sensation. He, as a Fire Angel, is essentially a being of pure energy and emotion.

He is one of the more "Up Himself" sorts of immortal being out there smile.gif

Thanks for the responces guys. I like the way this gives me pretty much free will. He doesnt care for mortals, so Ill just interpret his actions as appropriet (and maybe path to red wizard).

Well you should direct your praise at Alan Morgan (he who runs Heroes) - for the description was and is his (may interest you to know also that the Empress looks a bit like Liv Tyler).

Alas the only time Shining Rael was played as an NPC, was by Jason Hamer, who unfortunately is not known for his striking resemblance to Mr Morrison. Anyway Shining Rael - think Jim Morrison with fiery wings soaring through the ether - thinking about how good he looks
and you ain't far off.

I'd agree with some of the above, but not all. Based on the information I have, Shining Rael is very definately chaotic goodly, rather than pure chaotic. Happy to pass over some of my old background and turns on this if I can find them if you want to send me a PM with an email address.

An NPC based on a Robin of Sherwood character is already out there... (Which coincidentally I just re-watched for probably the first time since its original showing...)

NPCs should never, ever, under any circumstances be set as "looks like XXX" - because they never do when you meet them. I don't care how many times someone tells me Elbereth looks like the blonde one out of Lord of the Rings - I've met her and she's a dead ringer for Justin Carroll in an armoury base.

Given that one of his characters is Elbereth's consort - that's a whole lot of self-love going on, eeeewwww.
Or maybe - given she's a deity - you just see what you want to see smile.gif

For those who don't know what Alan means by "Looks a bit like Jim Morrison" just type the name into Google Images.

I suppose he could have meant Andy Morrison?
