Jan 22, 2004 15:10:30 I don't know about all the rest of you, but I was a really big fan of the Specialty Priests of the 2nd edition. The detail and customization that went into each god's priests, it made them truly unique and stand out from worshipers of other gods.

I even went so far as to make them mandatory: if you were a priest of a god, than the specialty priest info is whta you got for your abilities.

Now, the 3rd edition came along and took a step backward in this. Domains are cool, but they STILL don't do true justice to what powers and abilities the clerics of a particular god should and shouldn't have.

So, presented for your enjoyment (hopefully the format comes out well!) is my personal write-up for clerics of Trithereon. Much of this info was borrowed from here and there, and all of it came together into a very gratifying whole:

Trithereon: The Summoner

The Summoner, The Hunter, the Inescapable, the Vengeful One

Intermediate God
Alignment : Chaotic Good
Portfolio : Individuality, Liberty, Retribution, Self-Defense, Protection, Revenge
Pantheon : Common (Oeridian?)
Aliases : None
Domain : The Beastlands of Aborea
Allies : Kord, Rudd
Foes : St. Cuthbert, Bralm, Allitur, Wee Jas, Hextor, and Iuz; slave-owners, dictators, and those who deprive others of their freedom
Symbol : The Rune of Pursuit

Trithereon “The Summoner” is shown as a tall well-built young man with red-gold hair, clad in a chainmail shirt and blue or violet clothes. His symbol is the Rune of Pursuit , representing his relentlessness in hunting oppressors and tyrants. He is famous for his three great magic weapons (the shortspear Krelestro, the Harbinger of Doom; the sword Freedom’s Tongue; the scepter called The Baton of Retribution) and his three summoned animal allies (Nemound the Hound, Harrus the Falcon, and Carolk the Sea Lizard). He fights evil and opposes law, so he sometimes opposes other good-aligned deities such as Heironeous and Pholtus.

Scholars suspect that Trithereon was originally of Oerdidian origin. It is thought in learned circles that his worship stems from the time of the Bakluni/Suel conflict from which the Oeridians fled into the central Flanaess. Some scholars go further than that: theorizing that Trithereon was at one time a hero-god who ascended to godhood through the merit of his deeds.

Trithereon’s faith is currently the fastest growing in the Flanaess, apart from St. Cuthbert’s, which is also enjoying a considerable influx of converts. His worship is concentrated in disputed areas and borderlands such as the Geoff/Gran March border, the Sterich/Keoghland border, Sunndi, the Highfolk, northern Furyondy, and in the Ulek states where humans fight alongside dwarves and elves to hold back the might of Turrosh Mak. Most of these converts are found exiles displaced from their homes. Inhabitants of Bissel, Geoff, Sterich, and the states of the former Iron League can all be found within the ranks of the priesthood. Many former inhabitants of the Shield Lands also worship Trithereon, and their dispersion throughout the Flanaess has further spread his worship. He has even found converts in the Yeomanry, an extremely lawful land. Most of these are individuals who oppose the slave-holding tactics of the Sea Princes and the Scarlet Brotherhood.

Although open warfare between Trithereon’s followers and lawful good sects is unknown, isolate acts of violence against those to be tyrannical or overly oppressive are not uncommon. His priests are renown for whipping small bands of followers into a frenzy and then turning them loose to find those who oppose their deity’s values. Among the faithful this is referred to as “Street Justice.” Authorities of areas this is practiced almost always take a dim view of this form of justice. Indeed, in the City of Greyhawk the faith is on the brink of being banned unless it modifies its activities quickly.

The only lawful sect that priests of Trithereon are cordial to is the fledgling church of Mayaheine, demi-goddess of protection, justice, and valor. This sect has done much to defend those in peril in borderlands, and this has impressed man priests of Trithereon into giving them the respect they deserve. In disputed areas these sects have actually allied themselves with each other in times of need. In the northern Sheldomar Valley both priesthoods have been working together on a continuing basis in order to free Geoff and Sterich.

Trithereon’s Clerics

Alignment : Chaotic Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Neutral
Race : Any
Armor Permitted: Any
Weapons Permitted : Any
Raiment : Blue or Violet Robes
Holy Symbol: The Rune of Pursuit
Domains : Chaos, Good, Protection, Strength, War (longsword or shortspear)
Forbidden Domains: Evil, Law
Forbidden Spells: Spells with the Enchantment descriptor (mind-affecting spells that deprive the target of its free will).

Forbidden Domains and Spells: These are spells that are unavailable to clerics of Trithereon. If a spell falls into one of the domains or types listed then the cleric cannot memorize this spell. Likewise, clerics of Trithereon cannot make use of magical items or scrolls that cast or duplicate spells that fall into these domains.

Trithereon’s clerics are rugged individualists, never afraid to question authority. Those in cities instruct commoners in self-defense and recruit like-minded rogues and rangers for the cause of individual liberty. Those in rural areas act as scouts and pies against despotic lords or murderous nonhumans. Both sorts keep a close watch on Lawful religions lest they become too powerful. “The Summoner’s” clerics travel far and wide in search of those in need of their help.

The hierarchy of the faith is informal and made up of four basic levels. “Hopeful Initiates” (1st – 3rd level) make up the lowest and largest tier. Next in the hierarchy are the “Sacred Sons and Daughters of Trithereon” (4th – 6th level) followed by the leaders of the individual temples devoted to Trithereon who are known as “High Fathers or Mothers of Trithereon.” Finally, there are the “Master Priests or Priestesses.” These powerful folk lead the worship of Trithereon across whole countries.

Trithereon’s followers are viewed by the general populace as hot heads with ready swords and tongues. Although not evil they can cause considerable disorder, making those in authority wary of them in their practices. The bell ringing and constant weapons practice means that only followers of Trithereon tend to live near the temple, as unbelievers are driven away by the almost constant noise.

Temples of Trithereon are built of durable stone and are well able to resist attack. They are always built with an eye for defense, and all contain a bell tower from which the faithful ban be called to worship or warned of danger. The bell in the tower is made of solid gold and is the most valuable item in the temple unless the church is extremely poor. In this case the main goal of the temple will be to accumulate enough money to commission such a bell. Trithereon’s priests are always battle ready, and his temples always maintain extensive armories with which they can arm the faithful in times of need. Many worshippers are trained warriors and so many temples also boast weaponsmiths and armorers dedicated to making weapons and armor for the faithful.

Dogma

“All deserve life and the ability to choose their own place in the world, and those who would place others in shackles or control them with oppressive laws must be toppled. Train the common folk to defend themselves and their property should another wish to take their freedoms. If you are wronged, you are right to exact vengeance, especially if none will help you.”

Adventuring Clerics

Clerics of Trithereon are always ready for action when out adventuring. They wear blue or violet chainmail with the Rune of Pursuit boldly emblazoned over their heart signifying their devotion to the Hunter. Whilst “in the field” they must be ready at all times to assist those in need, particularly those at risk from oppression, slavery, or who have suffered a great wrong. They will typically carry extra weapons to give to those in need.

Clerics of Trithereon will readily work with individuals of good or neutral alignments if they share a common goal. Even individuals of extreme lawful bent will be tolerated, though they will also suffer more than their fair share of harassment from clerics of “The Summoner.” Paladins in particular are heckled for their inflexible and stifling beliefs, though when it comes time to fight against evil, a cleric of Trithereon is more than willing to fight side by side with a paladin.

Jan 23, 2004 9:08:56 I like that write-up. Trithereon is my favorite Greyhawk God. My DMPC is a Cleric of Trithereon. I am pretty sure War was not one of the domains though. I can understand the Martial Prof: Longsword, considering the shortspear is a simple weapon. It might be a little over-powered to spontaneously cast Summon Monster spells. Those aspect animals may be a lot over-powered.

Jan 23, 2004 12:24:09 Depending on the campaign, you're absoluetely right!

I run a power campaign (heroes get good stats, above half Hit Points, above half when using healing items), so for my campaign purposes, they're right in where the other creatures/characters are.

Jan 26, 2004 8:58:45 I like the idea of clerics calling upon Aspects of Trithereon's divine companions. Did you get that idea from the Miniatures Handbook?

#3 zombiegleemax Jan 23, 2004 9:08:56	I like that write-up. Trithereon is my favorite Greyhawk God. My DMPC is a Cleric of Trithereon. I am pretty sure War was not one of the domains though. I can understand the Martial Prof: Longsword, considering the shortspear is a simple weapon. It might be a little over-powered to spontaneously cast Summon Monster spells. Those aspect animals may be a lot over-powered.
#4 bdpenney Jan 23, 2004 12:24:09	Depending on the campaign, you're absoluetely right! I run a power campaign (heroes get good stats, above half Hit Points, above half when using healing items), so for my campaign purposes, they're right in where the other creatures/characters are.
#5 zombiegleemax Jan 26, 2004 8:58:45	I like the idea of clerics calling upon Aspects of Trithereon's divine companions. Did you get that idea from the Miniatures Handbook?
