Nice question, btw.
: I don't know what GURPs says about Gods in Myth -(Lucan: Neither do I :) )- but I can really only think of a couple: Wyrd and Styx.
I think it's Nyx you're thinking of. Styx is a river in Hades in Greek mythology.
: apparantly the Berserks worship Wyrd and the Bre' Unor
: worship Styx (right?)
The Bre'unor worship B'y'laggo, an ethereal god who resides in the air and demands sacrifice in return for giving the Bre'unor vigor in battle, control of animals (wolves) and the like.
I believe some people on the board have made mention that the fir'bolg worship Nyx. For what reason, I can't imagine. The fir'bolg obviously have little or nothing to do with the Trow.
:The ghols obcourse have their god
You mean the stone godhead from Long Awaited Party? Because I also remember the flavor text from TFL saying that only the ghols remembered the names of the "dark gods". I wonder who these guys are, if the ghols worshipped them, and what they have to do with the godhead.
: but I don't understand a few things: one was the
: Cathedral in Homecoming in Myth 1. What was that
: cathedral devoted to? Does the fact that a cathedral
: refers to a monotheism say something about the Bruig?
: Perhaps they were devoted to one god and that was
: their religion where everyone else had their own form
: of religion. Or was it a temple? Perhaps devoted to a
: god of wisdom or knowledge considering the city of
: Covenent was suppose to be rich with both those
: things.
I don't recall if they referred to it as a "cathedral" but for all intents and purposes, I suppose it is. If it's not devoted to Wyrd, I'd say you're right, it fits to have a cathedral/temple to a god of knowledge right next door to the Great Library.
I wonder, was the Codex in the Library, and the first, ill-fated group, only got as far as the cathedral before they died, or was the Codex in the cathedral in the first place?
For the Bruig, I'm betting that since the Province, and Covenant, were part of the Empire, they let the residents worship whatever they wanted. The Bruig probably established Imperial standards for government, language, commerce, etc. but left the rest up to the local governments, thus the strong cultural, architectural social and (probably) religious differences.
As for the dwarves, I have no idea. Maybe they're atheists, hehe.
