Re: The Emerald Conclave (Score: 1)

The Emerald Conclave came about because I realized that for various reasons (Alignment, Politics, etc) the Old Faith and the Principality of Ulek (PoU) didn't mesh very well.
I was looking at the major religions worshipped in the PoU (as listed in the LGG), and noted that Ehlonna and Phyton were present. This seemed odd, since Ehlonna is typically venerated as the goddess of woodlands, and the PoU has precious few trees. Looking at her portfolio, I noticed that she is also the goddess of Fertility, so I guessed that this was the aspect that was worshipped. This seemed to be confirmed by the worship of Phyton, who is a Chaotic Good deity of nature and farming. I also noticed that "foodstuffs" was one of the exports of the PoU, which presumably meant agriculture and meat.
With this in mind, I did some research, especially on the "Old Faith" and "Colleges of Old Lore" sections of the LGG. I also found lots of good stuff in the "County of Ulek" description from the LGG. This led me to realize that the Sheldomar valley Druidic Circle is fairly political, and that the Old Faith are very Neutral. Given that the PoU worships Ehlonna and Phyton and is primarily Good in alignment, this seemed like a minor conflict.
Therefore it seemed unlikely that the Old Faith would be active in the PoU, and yet with a strong focus on Nature related deities, I postulated some type of druidic organization likely existed in the PoU region. Everything else just sort of fell into place.
