Each faith has a large number of doctrines. Doctrines determine what is allowed and what is forbidden within a faith.
Main doctrines
Main doctrines determine the rules of the faith itself and have a considerable impact on how the realm is governed.
Marriage doctrines
Marriage doctrines determine who a character can marry, when can they marry or divorce, and the status of children born out of formal relationships.
Crime doctrines
Crime doctrines determine whether certain acts are accepted, shunned or
crimes. Shunned activity gives rise to secrets that can be blackmailed for a
weak hook, while criminal activity gives rise to secrets that can be blackmailed for a
strong hook. Exposing such a secret gives the relevant characters a negative fame trait, and causes them to lose a level of
devotion and
opinion with all characters who consider the activity shunned or criminal.
Clerical doctrines
Clerical doctrines have various effects that only apply to court chaplains, realm priests, temple holders, and characters with the
Monk trait.
Special doctrines
Special doctrines are encountered on some faiths as an additional doctrine.
| Doctrine | Effects | Faith | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Teachings of Jesus |
|
All Christian | There are those in the world who adhere to the teachings of Jesus without acknowledging his divinity. Though blasphemous, we should still show compassion to these misguided souls, as they may one day become converts to the true faith. |
| Teachings of the Prophet |
|
All Muslim | Although they do not follow all of the laws of the Prophet, there are some in this world who are more guided by the will of Allah than they know. With time, these half-converts may even give up their evil ways and become true members of the Ummah! |
| Teachings of Moses |
|
All Jewish | Not all among the gentility dwell in sin. There are those who respect God's chosen people, and these deserve a measure of our respect in turn. |
| Naked Priests | Our priests know that clothes entrap the spirit and prevent us from achieving true enlightenment. Only by shedding our garbs can we awaken our souls and experience The Tirthankaras' love. | ||
| Rightful Rulers of the World | Dharmic religion that enacts the Unite India decision | We are those who will usher in an era of peace and prosperity for all peoples. We are the rightful rulers of the world. | |
| Full Tolerance | All (requires the Faith Tolerance game setting set to Full) | Everyone is free to choose their own faith. Our differences do not divide us, they make us stronger. |
