Couldn't find anything for this so I thought, as a non-FR-lore-adept-person-a-majig, I'd ask for a list of how one would describe a follwoer of each faith. E.g. malar - malarites (i think :p)

So anyone that could provide a list that covers all the deities programmed and maybe a few extras, thanks :)

Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Spelling is not necessarily correct :)

There is also a precedent for what sounds better. :oops: Personally, I prefer "Lovites" to "Loviatarans", so that is what my character says. As long as everyone knows what you mean, I don't think it matters incredibly. Obviously, someone could say, "That's not the correct adjective, you know" in the middle of RP, and my character would be quick to disagree.

Leading to RP.

I'm not sure on this, but I think there are just more than one thing to call faith members by, isn't there? I'm just curious in FR, are these still considered correct? (Such as Oghman instead of Oghmanyte, etc.) You also gotta think if your character would know all of these correct pronounciations IC ;)

I totally agree Telk, about having more than just one thing to call faith members by. The ones that were pre-posted were pretty much just the basics. I know one of my characters always gets choked up on what to call the followers of Tempus...Tempuran Tempurian, Tempusians :lol: Its pretty much what you make it. As Lerytha and Telk said, rping like you do not know how to say the pronunciations could produce some pretty fun and interesting roleplays as well. :)

Some of them depend on the class of the followers as well. For example, worshipers of Waukeen (*wiggles eyebrows*) as a whole are Waukeenites, and priests of Waukeen are Waukeenar. I think something similar can be said about followers and priests of Torm, also.

Priests of Garl are called Glitterbrights, I believe.

Full priests of Garl are known as "Jewels", with the adjective being Garlian - in a tiered ranking that gives them a seperate title (ascending order): Amethyst, Topaz, Opal, Jacinth, Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, and Sapphire.

High ranking priests get unique titles, with the males known as Star Sapphires and the females known as Star Rubies - collectively.

Only "specialty priests", as opposed to the regular cleric class, get to be called Glitterbrights - they make up 40% of the priestly staff.

There is no I in Tempuran, it seems, when some simple research is applied. (:

Actually, every novel I have read has always included the I.

*nod* Not FR source, either. D&D Source. A pointless argument :). Clearly both are acceptable.

Were both acceptable, I would not be hounded OOCly in game for my "misspelling" of the word.

Faiths and Pantheons has a single passage:
The Tempuran church also has many affiliated orders.
However, if the game files call it Tempurian then it exists in the game. This does not mean in the least that you could not use both icly, but it does mean that either are acceptable. One is used in a cannon source, the other is part of a game helpfile. It depends on your ic preferences. The Gods and their followers go by so many names...Tormites...Termites...
Were both acceptable, I would not be hounded OOCly in game for my "misspelling" of the word.
If you feel someone is oocly bothering you over things you can always make a report to complaints confidentially...they can be sorted and often its just a minor misunderstanding.

"Tempurian" is, to my knowledge, a misspelling. I have only ever seen it used in Forgotten Kingdoms and once on the Realms-L mailing list (the author also used Tempuran in his post). Forgotten Realms, however, has gone through a few transitions in the terms used for nationalities and members of churches. I cite the difference in the sourcebooks below. The variance in these sources has led Candlekeep's FAQ to post the following with a question mark:
Tempus Tempuran Tempurans ?
Forgotten Realms sourcebooks offer the following:
Faiths & Avatars pages 158-162 uses "Tempuran"
Faiths and Pantheons pages 71-72 uses "clerics of Tempus" and "Tempuran" (adj)
