Church of Traladara

The basic philosophy of the church of Traladara is that people should not harm one another, and that when they do the community should punish the wrongdoer in proportion to the degree of their sin. This isn't much more to their philosophy than that, and so the Church is ideally suited to the cheerful and whimsical Traladarans.

The role of the Traladaran cleric is to provide advice for younger people, based on his own experience and in the examples of behavior given in "The Song of Halav." Traladaran clerics advise the young, perform marriages and officiate at the other ceremonies, peach the church philosophies, and promote goodwill. They also fight - to save lives or to defeat evils.

Approximately 70% of the population of Karameikos belongs to the Church of Traladara.

Beliefs
These are the beliefs of the Church of Traladara:
 * 1) That the acts of assault, abuse, murder, theft and lying are sins, brought on by weakness or the intrusion of bad-will from evil or animal spirits;
 * 2) That the sins described above should be punished, in the manner that parents punish children: Physical punishment, imprisonment, and the withholding of rights (even deatn, in the case of extreme sinners who endanger others);
 * 3) That the role of the individual in the afterlife will be determined by the individual's state of wisdom, strength of character, and good-will at the time of his death;
 * 4) That the relationship of man to woman is a personal matter; not involving the philosophies of the Church unless one of the above sins in involved;
 * 5) That common magic ritual such as the use of lucky charms, tea-reading, palm-readings, card-readings and so forth are all declarations of man's curiosity about the world and determination to preserve himself from evil, and are often rewarded by the Immortals with the gleaning of facts about the future or nature of the world; and
 * 6) The events of "The Song of Halav" are absolutely true; that King Halav, Queen Petra and Zirchev are now immortals guiding the righteous and punishing the wicked in Traladara/Karameikos; and that the Golden Age of the Traladara will one day return to this land.
