艾奥梅黛:在切利亚斯,对于艾奥梅黛的信仰有一个漫长而曲折的历史。实际上,在切利亚斯的某处,一个特别狂热的追随者团体正团结在格拉利昂光复军的旗帜之下便是明证。她的信仰从传统上来讲并不是很强并且事实上也没有献身于艾奥梅黛的神社或者寺庙。尽管从技术层面上来讲,她的信仰并不是非法的。居住在金塔格寥寥的几个艾奥梅黛信徒会经常聚集在公共场合温和并安静的进行他们的仪式。但是随着巴基莱•斯戎来到这里,甚至这些小规模的活动也被终止了,迫使她的信徒如同那些混乱宗教一样躲了起来。金塔格大部分的艾奥梅黛信徒并不同意格拉利昂光复军的行动。并不是说他们反对挑战斯戎家族这个主意,但是他们认为现在并不是起义的最佳时间,急切的十字军恐怕行动的太过仓促了。当然,金塔格市民的观点,生活愈发艰难正是因为光复军反对斯戎家族,导致整座城市进入军事戒严。

Iomedae: The faith of Iomedae has a long and rocky history with Cheliax. The fact that a particularly zealous group of her followers have united under the banner of the Glorious Reclamation elsewhere in Cheliax stands as proof. Her worship has not traditionally been strong in Kintargo, and there are no shrines or temples devoted to her despite the fact that, technically, her church is not outlawed. Those few Iomedaeans who do dwell in Kintargo ofen gather in public to perform their ceremonies in a subdued and quiet manner, although with Barzillai Thrune’s arrival in town, even these small displays have ended, foful into hiding much like those of the chaotic religions. The majority of Iomedae’s worshipers in Kintargo do not agree with what the knights of the Glorious Reclamation are doing. It is not that they oppose the idea of challenging House Thrune, but that they believe now is not the right time to rise up and that the eager crusaders might have acted too soon. Certainly, from Kintargo’s viewpoint, life has grown much worse since the Glorious Reclamation forced House Thrune to put its cities under martial law。
义洛理:义洛理在金塔格没有官方寺庙,在公众视线中,他的信仰完全不存在于该城。事实上,一个他的广泛存在的半秘密组织——卷宗圣修会——正是发源于金塔格。始于通过搜集和保护他们能找到的幸存的少量历史文献,以反对斯戎家族对历史的篡改,卷宗圣修会现在活跃于整个内海地区。而金塔格分部,稍微有点讽刺,是一个非常小的分部,但直到巴基莱•斯戎来到这座城市前,它一直存在。他们的身份和总部仍然是个秘密,但是传言中,圣修会已经被解散,而他们的藏身处也在戒严开始后不久就被阿斯摩蒂斯教会所捣毁。
Irori: Irori has no official temple in Kintargo, and to the public eye, no real presence in the city at all. In fact, one of his more widespread semi-secret orders first started here in Kintargo—the Sacred Order of Archivists. Originally dedicated to fghting against House Thrune’s practices of redacting and revising history by gathering and protecting what few surviving historical documents they could find, the Sacred Order is now active across the Inner Sea region. The Kintargo cell is, somewhat ironically, one of its smaller branches, yet until Barzillai Thrune came to the city, they remained active. Their identity and the location of their headquarters remains a secret, but rumors fly thick that the order was disbanded and their hideout was seized by the church of Asmodeus not long after martial law came down.
密拉妮:遍观内海地区的所有神祇,密拉妮估计是金塔格最需要的那个。所谓奉献、希望、起义的女神,她的理念正是金塔格在如今这种黑暗年代所需要的——投身于自由,以期待巴基莱•斯戎可以被击败,并在切利亚斯教会和国家的压迫下汇聚力量奋起反抗。金塔格不存在密拉妮的教会,但是她的信徒们通过一个名为金塔格玫瑰的松散组织相互联系。传言称那些金塔格玫瑰中的权势人物在斯戎统治笼罩金塔格的第一周就被虐待、下监甚至更糟,而之后的时间中无疑会继续如此。密拉妮的信徒没有进行任何反对政府的公开行动。也许玫瑰已经被剪除——这种时候,需要比以往更繁盛的永绽之花的信徒!
Milani: Of all the deities of the Inner Sea region, Milani might be the one Kintargo needs the most. As the goddess of devotion, hope, and uprisings, her ideals are just what Kintargo requires in these dark days—devotion to freedom, hope that Barzillai Thrune can be defeated, and the strength to rise up against the oppression put in place by the Chelish church and state. No church to Milani exists in Kintargo, yet her faithful are present in a loosely associated group called the Rose of Kintargo. Rumor holds that many of those who were excruciated, imprisoned, or worse by Thrune in the frst week of his rule over Kintargo were movers and shakers in the Rose of Kintargo, and certainly in the days following, Milani’s faithful have yet to make any public move against the government. Perhaps the Rose has been plucked—in which case, the need for more worshipers of the Everbloom is greater than ever!
莎伦莱:莎伦莱的信仰在金塔格相对算是新生事物,独立的信徒虽然存在,但是直到名为珊森的吟游诗人在此城定居并且成为金塔格大剧院最耀眼的明星前,莎伦莱的信徒在城里都是毫无组织。尽管本身并不是牧师,但是珊森对莎伦莱的信仰十分虔诚,没过多久许多人就汇聚到了她身边。算是一个公开的秘密,在她的店铺“银星”的地下室,是莎伦莱在金塔格日益强大的神社,或许如传言所说,这种开放性自巴基莱•斯戎到来后变成了信徒们的一种困扰。但有一件事可以肯定,自从戒严令开始在金塔格实施后不久银星就遭到焚毁,而它的主人珊森也自那时起失踪。幸存的晨花牧师们受到了莎琳教堂的庇护,没有人有胆量在公开场合露面。
Sarenrae: The faith of Sarenrae is a relative newcomer to Kintargo. Individual worshipers existed, but until a bard named Shensen settled in the city and made a name for herself as one of the most famous performers at the Kintargo Opera House, Sarenrae’s followers in town were relatively aimless. Although not a cleric herself, Shensen’s faith in Sarenrae is deep, and it wasn’t long before many others flocked to her side. It was something of an open secret that the basement below her shop, the Silver Star, held Kintargo’s growing shrine to Sarenrae, and that openness came back to haunt the faithful when Barzillai Thrune came to town—or so the rumors state. One thing’s for sure, though... the Silver Star burned to the ground soon afer martial law rose in Kintargo, and its owner Shensen has been missing ever since. Those priests of Sarenrae who survived have been granted asylum by the church of Shelyn, and have not dared showed their face publicly since.
莎琳:莎琳长期以来一直是金塔格第二强盛的信仰——并且在某些评估下,她可能一度是这座城市里最强大的信仰。当然,单看人数,她的信徒数量要比阿斯摩蒂斯的多……至少,戒严前是如此。莎琳的信仰仍然被教会和政府所允许,但是所有莎琳的信徒必须在斯戎家族那里登记在案,并且她信徒的所有的典礼和仪式表演必须有一名阿斯摩蒂斯牧师、一名刑架骑士团成员或者一名斯戎家族的代表监督。实际上,莎琳的神庙庇护了多名其他受迫害的宗教的牧师(大部分是莎伦莱的),进一步的增加了莎琳和阿斯摩蒂斯教会之间的紧张关系。这两个教会中总有一个会被迫采取剧烈行动,只是时间问题罢了。
Shelyn: Shelyn’s faith has long been the second most powerful in Kintargo—and by some measurements, it might have been, for a time, the city’s most powerful religion. Certainly, by sheer count, her faithful numbered more than Asmodeus’s... at least, before martial law was instituted. Shelyn’s worship is still allowed by the church and government, but all worshipers of Shelyn must register with Thrune, and all ceremonies and rituals performed by her faithful must be observed by an Asmodean priest, an Order of the Rack Hellknight, or an agent of Thrune. The fact that Shelyn’s temple has given asylum to several persecuted priests of other religions (mostly Sarenites) has only further enhanced the tension between the church of Shelyn and that of Asmodeus. It’s only a matter of time before one of the two churches is forced to take drastic action.
至高天神使:许多至高天神使在金塔格被个人或者小群体信仰,并且之辈供奉于小型私人圣坛。混乱善良的至高天神使会更常见一些,而所有至高天神使中,阿昕(Arshea)(放纵之魂),拉贾瑟尔(Ragathiel)(复仇战将,俗称龙傲天),赛若梅迪尔(Seramaydiel)(启迪音符女士)的信仰在金塔格最为常见,尽管如此,他们的信徒也就几十个甚至更少。阿昕主要被金塔格中渴望从斯戎家族的影响中解放的市民所信仰;拉贾瑟尔被那些认同责任概念,但对斯戎家族扭曲传统切利亚斯法律感到不满的人所信仰;赛若梅迪尔则被一小群关注乐器更甚于演唱和歌剧的音乐家所崇拜。
Empyreal Lords: Many of the empyreal lords are worshiped in Kintargo by individuals or small groups and venerated in small, private shrines. Chaotic good empyreal lords are more common than others, but of them all, Arshea, Ragathiel, and Seramaydiel are the most widespread in Kintargo—even then, their faithful only number a few dozen or fewer. Arshea is primarily worshiped in Kintargo by those who yearn to be free of Thrune influence, Ragathiel by those value the concept of duty but have become fed up by House Thrune’s corruption of classic Chelaxian law, and Seramaydiel by a small subset of Kintargo’s musicians who focus on musical instruments rather than singing or opera.
不适宜宗教:对于邪恶神祇的信仰不适合地狱义军的主题,特别是对阿斯摩蒂斯、诺格巴、宗库山以及任何大魔鬼、 地狱公爵、雄霸魔或者娼妓女王的信仰,是极其不适合这场冒险之路的!如果你希望你的角色信仰一名邪恶神祇,请跟你的GM沟通,即使如此,避免以上列出的任何一名神祇。如果你真的渴望信仰一名魔鬼或者类似的邪恶神祇,滚去下一个冒险之路,《地狱复仇(Hell’s Vengeance)》去!
Inappropriate Religions: While the worship of evil deities is not thematically appropriate for Hell’s Rebels, the worship of Asmodeus, Norgorber, Zon-Kuthon, and any of the archdevils, infernal dukes, malebranche, or whore queens in particular are incredibly unsuitable choices for this Adventure Path. If you wish your character to worship an evil deity, talk to your GM and, even then, do your best to avoid any of the faiths listed above. If you’re really eager to worship a devil or similar evil deity, you should set that character concept aside for now and bring it back for the next Adventure Path, Hell’s Vengeance.
