Nico said something about that everyone else had shied away from them, so he was excited that Sam wanted to know. So are we going to see that?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For the characters that are Roman like Van Helsing and Maximus (who both have their own altars) they haven\u2019t shied away from their Religion.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In modern terms the faith surrounding the Roman and Greek Gods are taught as myths and considered Paganism.\u00a0\u00a0So for a modern man like Sam to actually be interested in studying the ways of worship around the Roman Gods would be unique and would thrill Nick especially as it\u2019s his oldest daughter returned.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Though if you ask Romulus he\u2019ll tell you he still is a God and should be worshipped daily.\u00a0\u00a0Which of course Remus does \ud83d\ude00 \u2013 see future Smut coming his Advent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Overtime we will see Sam learning the Roman Traditions, and we&#8217;ll also see him learning other religions from a variety of Clan Members, especially when he meets \u2026 well you&#8217;ll just have to wait and see that when the story comes out &#8216;Evil Grin&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Religion is actually a very important part in Sylum.\u00a0\u00a0There are 7000+ History in the series and religion has played a major role.\u00a0\u00a0And there is a wide range of Religions through out Sylum: Egyptian to Muslim to Buddhist to Hindu to Jewish to Catholic to Anglican to Pagan to Christian to Native American and then some \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Just in the Meridius line you have Nick and Maximus that follow the Roman Gods, Aubrey was Church of England, Cort is a Jesuit Priest, Richie is Jewish, Grant believes in a God but not a religion, Galahad is Catholic \u2026 So a very wide range just there.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Let alone Mates who have different religions Beuwlf follows the Norse Gods while his Mate is Muslim.\u00a0\u00a0Tony is Catholic while Jethro has walked away from the church.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So seeing someone like Sam, especially the way he was raised, wanting to learn the Roman Gods, and yet still understand other religions will be a nice way to show how Vampires that range from 7000+ in years to a couple of years old \u2013 deal with religion and society.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last one!!
