Holy War

A savage holy war is raging on this world, either between factions of locals or as a united effort against the pagans of some neighboring world. This war might involve a conventional religion, or it might be the result of a branding campaign, political ideology, artistic movement, or any other cause that people use as a substitute for traditional religion.

Enemies:

• Blood-mad pontiff

• Coldly cynical secular leader

• Totalitarian political demagogue

Friends:

• Desperate peacemaker

• Hard-pressed refugee of the fighting

• Peaceful religious leader who lost the internal debate

Complications:

• The targets of the war really are doing something diabolically horrible

• The holy war is just a mask for a very traditional casus belli

• The leaders don't want the war won but only prolonged

• Both this world and the target of the war are religious-obsessed

Things:

• Sacred relic of the faith

• A captured blasphemer under a death sentence
