I liked that stuff the other day about Lodril: I think the cult would
certainly have to be different to Pelorians/Agimori (the Agimori are no
peasants). Since the Agimori are directly connected to Lodril and the fire
rune maybe the cult would look something like Kyger Litor / Aldrya- (these
involving the man rune along with darkness/plant),with Shamans, special leaders
(Gardener-types) and that type of thing.
And since I also saw a request for campaign anecdotes/ideas, here's a little idea I had for a praxian Agimori character in my campaign, who recently joined the Storm Bull cult (?!) All of his clan thinks he is absolutely insane and will have nothing to do with him. Can he find acceptance with his people? Maybe so- the Shamans talk about the sacred fire of ancestors- anyone who travels to the Elder Wilds and finds this sacred fire, then willingly throws themselves into it for a bit, is scarred for life but gains a new status among the Agimori when he or she returns home (along with special magical powers?)
Where is this sacred fire? In the side of a mountain, bound into the rock is a big salamander-thing, perpetually burning. The only problem: it is very heavily guarded by the dwarf community who use this amazing fire to heat and burn things. Maybe a specialized salamander-binding diamond dwarf was the one who bound it there in the first place. How will these dwarves react to a crazy savage throwing himself into the flame? What about the party of Pelorian Lodril/Yelm worshippers who received news of this spirit through divinations and have come to investigate/steal the spirit away? How would they react to a crazy Agimori?
Any ideas on how I could make this scenario work?
