Note. Many would convert to Christianty, and of those
many were simply pretending and still practice their faith in secret.
Keep in mind that many Jews were quite open in their faith during the crusades.
First find out where you want to be from, then pick a faith. Think of what you
could achieve if you were of that setting and faith. Choose an era, then put
everything together.
With some effort and research you should have no problem getting started.
Note. We discourage Pagan personas as they are never realistic
historically. They as an illiterate people could not record their
practices and beliefs. What little is known about them was written
by their enemies and they pretty much died out by the end of the
Dark ages and predate medieval reenactment. Those that would be
period would keep it secret and follow a "cover faith" as would most
heretics as well. So if you really must play a Pagan, keep it
general..don't invent or use invented modern
" neo-historical paganism" that fill endless shelves at B.Daltons
and use a cover faith. Research is the Key!
After all it's a Templar city in the medieval era. Keep it
intelligent, keep it realistic your not supposed to be a character
...but a real person of the era.

We do not condone nor forbid any period faith mentioned above, our
