Lords & Priests Combo Book
 |
Eine Zusammenfassung der beiden Quellenbücher Lords of the Known Worlds und Priests of the Celestial Sun.
Lords & Priests re-presents two classic Fading Suns sourcebooks¸ each revised and with new material... Lords of the Known Worlds Nobles are the unquestioned rulers of the universe. Few are privy to their lifestyles and secrets¸ and the great unwashed understand little of the perks (and problems) associated with rulership. There are taxes to collect¸ wars to wage¸ and rivals to crush. Indeed¸ as any noble would tell you¸ the sacrifices they endure more than justify their opulent lifestyles. Not just anybody can be such a martyr; it takes blood privilege. A privilege the nobility protects at all costs¸ even if it requires bloody duels or declarations of war. Herein are detailed the histories and sociologies of the five Royal Houses¸ 10 minor houses and alien nobility: Ur-Obun councilmembers¸ Ur-Ukar chieftains and Vorox lords. Priests of the Celestial Sun The nobles may rule the secular lives of Known Worlders¸ but the Church guards their souls - and in so doing¸ dictates to the nobility. Few lords dare to defy the will of the Patriarch and his bishops. But the Church"s rock is not as stable as it once was - new sects and orders have appeared in the wake of the Emperor Wars¸ shifting the populace"s loyalties and reawakening ancient heresies. While the Church stands united against the nobles and guilds¸ they feud within their cathedrals¸ vying for dominion over the faithful. Herein are detailed the lives of the saints¸ the histories and beliefs of the major sects of the Church¸ the heretical Incarnates and the religion of the Children of Zuran.
