Thanks. I try to do my part. The descriptions of the gods of Edrae are somewhat scant to say the least. (No favored weapons, what the holy symbols the disciples use, the color of the clergy etc.) So i added a few things without being a god mod. (i hope not to supersede anything the DM has created, so far i think i didn't do so) I needed something for my cleric to fall back on when rping what is exactly a cleric of the goddess of healing. light and life is supposed to do.
Sure, its a ice breaker at parties to say "Hey i worship the god of light!" but what happens when a farmer who just lost a loved one from a wagon accident comes to you in need of spiritual guidance? Just saying to the poor sap "Light is good." is not enough.
I look to the gods Pelor (from the PHB and the core beliefs of greyhawk articles in Dragon magazine), Sarenrae (from Pathfinder) and Elishar (from Deities and Demigods, 3.0 edition) as inspirations just to fill in some of the gaps of the Adarian religion. I use the likeness of a young woman as Karina's holy symbol (from the info on Adaria in the general information forum)which was loosely based on Sarenrae's own symbol.
Admin, let me know if i am doing anything wrong and i'll gladly erase the post.
actual holy symbol used by the Disciples:
