The empire is tolerant of religions but it only recognises about seven (off the top of my head). These are Ishtar, Gaea, Kirva, Aden Ver, Ulcreva (sp?), Shaera and the Vulpine Lady. Maybe there's another but I can't think of it.
I have no objection to Drak Sen who follow their beliefs being bonded by the elder dragons
provided they also listened to the other side of what I said.
Each of those religions needs to define for itself what their deity's stance is on bonding first off. Then they need to define where a bonding can take place and who can perform the ceremony.
This topic was about multiple bondings. Since the relationship between dragons and Drak sen is considered a religion, in line with the web page on the subject, then the appropriate representatives of the dragons and Draks need to define their stance on multiple bondings, don't they. I made it crystal clear that I was not going to take a stance on multiple bondings as a game rule because it doesn't affect gameplay now that consequences and retribution rules have changed. I made it equally clear that it was for each religion to make its own decisions on what their deity found acceptable.
I listed the major religions that came to mind and I have no problem adding to that list when valid suggestions are made. I don't claim infallibility and never did.
But what I'm not going to see is Joe Blow, who happens to be a member of X race demanding minor deity Y be recognised when that same deity has been almost completely ignored for years because Joe was too busy fucking anything not nailed down, but it now suits his personal storyline to have that god exist within the game.
The Draks, along with the Chirots and the Vulpines have
earned recognition based on extensive roleplay by characters within the game over long periods of time. That's why I am happy to add them to the list. As for the rest - show me why I
should recognise deities that in most cases only exist in skeletal form because I asked dev to fill in some missing details to flesh out each race.
