Hi there, Happy New Years. It's time for the third annual Mything Links story contest. There's only 71 stories this year so it'll take you next to no time to...

Back in RQ days, there was a rule that initiates did what Rune Lords told them. Is there any such rule, social convention, or anything else, that defines the...
From what I remember even in Old RQ is that the Hierarchy of many a religion is not based on Devotion to the god you serve but on politics. You might be the...
Greetings and Salutations 2005-01-05-1335. ... Lords ... Devotee? I believe that is still true. Devotees can order initiates around, *to some extent*. They...

I tend to rely more on personality and roleplaying to decide how to go. There is a natural deference to a devotee on the piety scale but how much that will...
