I noticed a temple in a town I was walking through, and decided to explore it. (It seems like no two temples are alike; I'm surprised I haven't seen reports of buggy temples caving in the moment you look at them!) Anyways, as I approached, something called a "Holy Zenith" introduced himselfand advised me to prepare for death. Oookay, sounds like a monster I can slay! I climbed to the top, with Mr. Zenith re-introducing himself and reminding me of my preparations for dying once along the way. I was pumped, intending to wrestle him and try to throw this haughty zenith off the roof (I'm playing as an ogre from my Savages' Stronghold mod, so it would have been feasible). When I got there, there was nothing. I looked around, and noticed a one-year-old ogre child in the bottom of a pit in the middle that I had been unable to find an entrance to. (Side note: the child must have been the youngest in the family, as he had nieces and nephews.) So...No sign of the guy who threatened to kill me, and a young child trapped in a pit? What gives?

EDIT: The sacred zenith was right at the base of the temple (he died with one headshot with my bronze mal), and the pit had an entrance to the child. Still...threatening travelers and trapping children? What kind of religion IS this?

DOUBLEDIT: Now there's a human "High Bristle" in the keep coming for me! Why?!?! ...Could it be me? But the shopkeepers and such didn't hate me!

TRIPLEDIT: Now an "Exalted Control" wants to kill me! What did I do to deserve this?
Oh, and a human administrator wants to kill me, although since he's imprisoning a three-year-old ogre child (also with nieces and nephews), I might have anyways. The kid was glad to hear about all of the suicidal leaders I had slain. Oh, and said kid helped me kill the administrator. I wonder why they weren't fighting before.

QUADRUPLEDIT: Wha, why didn't the game WARN me that I had just accidently told myself to attack the badass kid? I broke his spine, causing him to suffocate. Yay...And now I can't retire; I'll probably have to fight my way past the crowd at the market.

QUINTUPLEDIT: Hoo, boy, I watched my ogre get batted around for a minute, during which my title expanded from the counterstrike-deaths. Let's see how this goes...

HEXTUPLEDIT: Oh, not so well, it seems that a butcher got a lucky shot. I'll upload the save...

OCTUPLEDIT: Nope, DFFD doesn't like my save's .zip.

I knew that, but the thread title doesn't mean "WTF, whats a sacred zenith?", it means, "WTF, a sacred zenith attacked me! Why?"

Suffer not the unclean to live? 

In all seriousness, I would be asking "why doesn't this happen more often?".

...Because if religious leaders attack random armed passersby when they are unarmed and unarmored or, in one case, a human, your religion is not for long in this world? Especially if you keep children in a pit.

Is it something to do with you being an ogre?  Otherwise they could have loyalties to some other civ which already hated you.

[Flying Dice]

That's what I'm assuming, as well. If the ogre civ has conflicting ethics, that would probably be grounds for attempted murder.

It was an ogre-tun town. I discovered shortly thereafter what happens if you're an ogre in a minotaur town...(It involves several dead dogs and getting killed by bogeymen. I REALLY hate bogeymen.)

[Leafsnail]

Bogeymen?  I find as long as I'm faster than Bogeymen and am wearing enough armour that they don't deliver fatal wounds to the lungs they aren't too bad.  Just make sure you're never, ever fighting more than one at once.   I mean, they can occasionally get lucky shots, but I find anything with a boning knife gets lucky shots more often.
