Usefullness of Faith and Fervour

[Lagavulin]

I am in the process of setting up a new campaign, mostly set in Shem and Zamora and am thinking of buying faith and fervour for some background material.

Looking at the Shem sourcebook religion is key to understanding that part of world. The sourcebook has details on some religions but not really enough for my taste - lots of gods are missing etc and I could do with more input on the operations/organisations of the respective cults.

Would I gain anything from faith and fervour or will I just get another cut and paste of the standard Ishtar cult text ? - the same one you get repeated about 10 times in the road of kings and main rulebook.

If faith and fervour has new useful information about religion then I will buy it. If it is simply a rehash then I will save my money and make stuff up.

Faith & Fervour has new material in it. Shem was actually written right after Aquilonia and the Hyboria's F. Series. By the time I got to Faith & Fervour, I had figured out what I wanted to do with the Hyborian age religions. It has new gods in it for Shem (such as Kiririsha, Lahar, Nabu, Lugal-irra, Nahhunte, Namtar, and Napirisha, to name a few) and information on the priesthood and temples.

Thanks for the prompt reply - I suppose I should add it to the list of purchases.

F&F is one of my favorite books. I find it useful.
