Definitely it's taking on a bit of an Anglophile feel, but I'm more interested in cultivating a Last Unicorn vibe than C.S. Lewis.<br /><br />Another inspiration that may not be immediately obvious: Rifts Wormwood. My ideas of the Church of the Hanged God is based on that more than probably anything else...including Roman Catholicism!<br />; )JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532311924539491087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-8592049117918748122010-11-04T12:28:32.245-07:002010-11-04T12:28:32.245-07:00I'm totally digging this.

It effectively signals "This is not Middle-earth" or, more really, "This is not my third-generation Middle-earth derived-setting. I get a great visual of the Elf-Prince holding court over the all the diverse fae. Kinda of Narnia-ish (in a good way).<br /><br />Hmn, that makes me think about your Bears. Narnia kind of mashed-up traditional faeries with Talking Animals and demi-folk like Centaurs and Fauns. Any thought of those or do you want to keep these more clearly Northern European.Matthew Slepinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04056247825064943944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-63293276811633846782010-11-04T12:04:42.471-07:002010-11-04T12:04:42.471-07:00I'm guessing you're not quite ready, but I...I'm guessing you're not quite ready, but I'd say let's just start now.
