The Viking version suits them as a faith because of the widespread belief that the Vikings believed in runes, and this is sort of one of their origins, as far as I understand? I think there is a difference between Scandinavian RUNES and Asian HIEROGLYPHS? Although it may be similar in essence, in any case, neither one nor the other had anyone like Catholic priests.makazuwr32 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 4:08 amWho said that dwarves have viking version of faith?Anchar wrote: ↑Mon Sep 19, 2022 1:33 am
If the example is unsuccessful, then give me examples in which universes do dwarves have priests and what kind of faith? Dwarves are always more like atheists as they are closer to science and technology.Yes, they have magic, but only as a science. Their only version of the faith is the Viking version of the faith, which does not have white-robed priests with healing.
If it’s a human being about dragons and drakes, then it’s possible, from the point of view of common lores, that it’s really unsuccessful. However, against the backdrop of a whole race of dragons and lizards, this looks strange.
Viking version of faith will fit more for orcs due to being very savage and barbarian.
As for dwarves — they might have a faith based on mix of Christian religion and taoism (for example).
Another example of universe is "Heroes of Might and Magic 5".
That world has multiple dragon gods and dwarves as exceptional blacksmiths have faith in dragon god of fire. With white robed rune patriarchs as well.
As for dragons — IF scalefolks had 1-2 dragons in plans than it actually was a possibility. But since scalefolks will have a bit more than 2 dragons (for now around 10 at base and more in subs) it is not crucial to remove dragons from other races. Especially since dragons also have big differences.
(Also removal of all dragons analogy is not right example since for orcs i want unique type of unit — jumping cavalry — while in case of dragons and scalefolks it is a whole race and removal of dragons would be more correct to compare with for example removal of all archers from all non-elven races or all ships from non-human races as class or all summons from non-undead races.)
As for taming of humans — dinosaur-like drake is a completely different being from "animals" and is predator for humans. Humans tame as mounts in most cases either herbivores (horses, elephants for example), intelligent animals (gryphons, drakes and imperial dragons) or elemental beings (upcoming leviathan). Not man-eating dinosaurs.
I googled the dwarf priest from Heroes of Might and Magic 5, their whole appearance again resembles Vikings or mages, not Catholic priests, or I did not find them, which indicates their popularity. The religion of the Vikings is not a barbarian tribal, but just the same belief in runes and the ability to get to Valhalla for military exploits, it is of course similar because of sacrifices, but not the same as far as I understand. Another version of their religion is the Celtic religion, which also has runes, but there is no single deity, much less a bright healing. Worship goes to nature, making this aspect more suitable for various druids.Also, I don't remember that in Catholicism or Christianity something was based on runes. Taoism is actually a Chinese doctrine.
As for dragons, I am also against removing them. You never said directly about the plans to add a jump-based sub-race to the orcs. In any case, no one wrote that dinosaurs of people would be predators, not herbivores (there were herbivorous species among the dinosaurs), and also that they were dinosaurs, and not a mixture of any sled birds. I think nothing prevents me from giving a small analogue for a human by analogy with dragons.
