rest-the art of gamemastering has been described by some
as
the art of selective looting and skillful application of said loot.
In
a
broader sense, you can use everything
as
it stands.
The temple, the clergy, their interactions and agendas, the
holy days, the holy rule, the Secret Doctrine, and everything
else you see here forms
a
whole. Change the name of the
deities and the key personalities to fit your world, but the
core design can remain as presented.

What are the names of the priests your player characters
(PCs) turn to for healing? When your PCs line up for vials of
holy water, what does the temple look like? Where did your
player-character clerics and priests receive their training?
Where do they
go
when they advance
in
level and the time
comes to be initiated into higher mysteries? What temple
serves
as
the patron church for the adventuring party’s zeal-
ous
paladin? And what secrets lie
in
the catacombs deep be-
neath the temple’s cloisters, hidden from commoners and
adventurers alike? All these questions are answered in
Bastion

prayers and spells, and new relics and sanctified magical
items-all describing

is suitable for instant insertion into your
campaign world. Whether your campaign takes place on
Oerth, Toril, Cerilia, or
a
world of your own creation, this
product is designed for you to drop in and use as

Of
course, as when mending

to do

of
trimming and tailoring of the new material to
make it fit established storylines; however, you’ll find the ef-
forts of incorporation are minimal.

GReiYhAd,
Oerth
Given GREYHAWK’S
traditional AD&D fantasy focus, the Bas-
tion of Faith is particularly suited
to
Oerth and the fact that
Heironeous is drawn from one of GREYHAWK’S
pantheons. For
example, the temple can be easily inserted into the Free City
of Greyhawk itself, where
SO
many temples cluster. Other
likely settings for the Bastion include the northern reaches of
the Kingdom of Furyondy,the Shield Lands, and the King-
dom of Nyrond.
The Bastion of Faith can be renamed and used to detail an
existing house of worship that is currently undetailed except
for its name and possibly
a
few NPCs. Likely candidates for
such
a
substitution include the Spire of Glory in Chendl, capi-
tol of Furyondy, and the Shield Reclaimed, which lies at the
heart of the recently reclaimed city of Critwall in the Shield
Lands.
A
temple dedicated to Heironeous already exists in the
Free City of Greyhawk in the Garden Quarter, right off High
Street within bow shot of the Duke’s Gate (and city wall). To
use Bastion of Faith
as
Heironeous’ existing temple in Grey-
hawk exactly
as
written, assume the local clerical hierarchy
has been recently reorganized. The old abbot, JaikorDemien
(LG human male F5/C10), was displaced by
a
newcomer,
Abba Gaius. With his position he renamed the Sanctum of
Heironeous, calling it the Bastion of Faith as it had been
called in previous years. Under Abba Demien, the Sanctum of
Heironeous focussed more heavily on the military aspects of
the Heironean faith; however, under Abba Gaius, the temple
