Elladan52 encouraged me to start a poll, following this discussion: lormahordes.freeforums.net/thread/6/ideas?page=8 Basically it's about this:  It also applies to Legion here, but for some reason not to Convergence or Retribution (or Circle?). |

It's Protectorate. Menoth is a god. Nobody plays Menoth.

Have you ever met a person that insisted on being called a nickname that they came up with? Exactly. Sometimes it sucks, but you don't get to pick what other people call you. You can build 100 bridges, but if you have sex with a single goat you're a goat  For the rest of your life. |

However, the situation here is more that two different groups of people enjoy using two different names for the same thing. Like aluminium or aluminum. And "how other people say or write things" is one of those things that can get some people really riled up... |

As said above. It's the Protectorate. Nobody plays Menoth. Menoth plays you!
Also check the titles in the books, none of the warcasters are menoth casters, they are protectorate casters.

It is Protectorate, but there is a case for it being Menoth.
The Protectorate is home to the head of the Menite faith (the Hierarch, well, it generally is), not to mention the Voice of Menoth (The Harbinger) and the country could be said to be moving with the will of Menoth, especially seeing as to how quickly Severius was appointed to office when the Harbinger spoke up for him.

You forgot the "I use them interchangeably" option.
Also you do play Menoth, his nickname is Avatar.

So, just pointing out: It's listed as protectorate on the actual main page. Menoth was used there to make the clerical side easier.

Its Menoth for me. Just like I can call Khador 'smelly bear men' and Skorne "not a faction".

If you're larping as an Iron Kindomer, it's "Protectorate," thankfully, as the purpose for shortening names is to say it quicker without sacrificing clarity, Protectorate or Menoth works.

So, just pointing out: It's listed as protectorate on the actual main page. Menoth was used there to make the clerical side easier. Good enough for me. |
