For those wishing to incorporate the Triune Faith from The Ruined Abbey of Saint Tabitha into their own campaigns, the following table of saints may be useful. Remember, these were former pagan gods, previously worshiped and (later) converted to worship of the Triune and (his/her/its) interests:

Being servants of the Triune, all are lawful (good) or at least neutral in outlook (being saints). Future posts and products will almost certainly deal with the forces of chaos!
Saint Agnes (Angre in the pagan), from an illuminated manuscript found in the Abbey of Tabitha |
In order to make the Triune religion feel like the monolithic medieval faith while preserving the polytheism of most old-school campaigns, each saint has its own order and dedicated clerics, making the above table a useful guide. The pagan and Triune names are both included, so the players can develop clerics outside of this religious structure (something our group has done)...
