Sylum Question and Answer: #21

The last one!! There were some very interesting questions and I hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I did…

 

Q: Way back in Family, when Sam & Dean were at the Manor after rescuing Dean, Sam was in the garden or something, and had a conversation with Nico about learning the history/beliefs of the Roman gods. 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?

 

For the characters that are Roman like Van Helsing and Maximus (who both have their own altars) they haven’t shied away from their Religion.

 

In modern terms the faith surrounding the Roman and Greek Gods are taught as myths and considered Paganism.  So 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’s his oldest daughter returned.

 

Though if you ask Romulus he’ll tell you he still is a God and should be worshipped daily.  Which of course Remus does 😀 – see future Smut coming his Advent.

 

Overtime we will see Sam learning the Roman Traditions, and we’ll also see him learning other religions from a variety of Clan Members, especially when he meets … well you’ll just have to wait and see that when the story comes out ‘Evil Grin’.

 

Religion is actually a very important part in Sylum.  There are 7000+ History in the series and religion has played a major role.  And 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 😀

 

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 … So a very wide range just there.

 

Let alone Mates who have different religions Beuwlf follows the Norse Gods while his Mate is Muslim.  Tony is Catholic while Jethro has walked away from the church.

 

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 – deal with religion and society.
