This server is overrun with erudites who foolishly picked quellious over Prexus. Do not add to this problem.

In a sense it is like that but taken with a fantasy setting and we end up with stuff like Pratchett envisioned ... Where the gods went to break the windows of the only known agnostic of Discworld just to spite him hehe 8) [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] So here being agnostic is more like a MEH dont care attitude regarding divine beings more than atheistic beliefs. EQ lore is quite complex, when you mix the Ethernere in it. This is the copy paste of Vhalen on the Ethernere> Death is but a doorway in this universe just as it is in many others. Ethernere is in a sense, an anteroom or vestibule to the realms of the afterlife. Norrathian, Trorsmangling, Cordanian, etc, all souls must pass through this dimension before going on or in some cases, returning. As with most dimensions, the gods have no influence here.[/p] [p]In the past, I have shared information about the little known realm of Ethernere. Here in this limbo, billions of souls can be found waiting to move onward. But there are forces native to Ethernere that have a life all their own, forces that may have existed or may have sprung from the lives that pass through here. These forces have come to claim the universal vestibule as theirs. Chief among these entities is the Harrowing Horde, the guardians of Deathtoll Bell Tower. These forces manage the existence around them and often have created laws that bind souls to the Ethernere for longer than any should be. We Norrathians will all see Ethernere in our time, but will we ever escape it? Most do, but some are held back by the forces of Ethernere.[/p] [p]Are the native forces of Ethernere the only obstruction that may keep a soul from passing on? No. There are powerful entities that can sometimes breach Ethernere and exist for long periods of time, unnoticed by the Harrowing Horde. These invaders come to the gray fields of Ethernere in search of notable individuals whose souls await their afterlife. Here is where such souls can be subjugated far more easily than within the realms of that afterlife.[/p] [p]The subjugation of souls in Ethernere can be performed in numerous ways. The reasons for such captivity vary. The Harrowing Horde has stopped such actions where souls have been used as such things as vaults of knowledge, spiritual batteries and in some cases simply to spite the soul from a glorious afterlife. There are many reasons for soul subjugation and not even the Harrowing Horde has seen them all. Pray to your gods that your time in Ethernere is brief and without complications. So believing or not does not deter you from an Afterlife in Norrath, so agnostics perhaps do not care for an specific afterlife offered by their racial god for example,

Matches some of my own beliefs on the issue of religion in Norrath in P99. Very nice! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

To answer one of your questions; Prexus is a neutral god and Quellious is a good aligned god allied with several other good gods which makes her an enemy of the evil gods. In the game followers of Prexus are tolerated almost everywhere, even Neriak while followers of Quellious will be killed on sight by all worshippers of the evil gods. On the other hand followers on Quellious will have good faction in places where they worship other good gods while Prexus followers are just tolerated. The difference between picking a neutral god and being agnistic is that followers of the nutral god will have better faction in places where that god is worshipped if there is one and they will eventually also have access to special imbued gear (Not anytime soon though). Besides Prexus, Solusek Ro, Brell and Veeshan are other neutral gods that will eventually provide a faction advantage in certain places even though that advantage isn't always useful. | |||

I really don't think ive ever encountered a gnostic atheist, but I wish I have. That would be an interesting point of view.
