Religious iconography?
Posted: October 7th, 2019, 3:44 am
Type: lore/religion
Summary: Have each icon and eidolon have their own symbol
Reason:
1. This would let adherents of one icon/eidolon find, and commune with, others more easily. There's also the issue of possible discrimination against those worshipping a particular icon/eidolon.
2. In medieval Europe (which Khy'eras is loosely based on), pilgrimmages were the de facto vacations of the time. The main souvenirs were pilgrims' badges, which identified what location the pilgrim had visited. Adding iconography to Khy'eras would allow for:
a) greater visibility of the icons/eidolons and through them the lore;
b) possible in-game industry for creators and for those who enjoy running inn-keeper type stories;
c) make travel more attractive (although not easier).
