Opening The Black Road: Blood Curse vs. Blood on the Pattern

[Tolknor]

I ran Julian as a falling into a religious fervor after a meeting with the Unicorn.  Like a Paladin for  the Church of Amber, but a flawed one in that he had the same ability to be hard and cruel as he did before.  But since even in the thick of things he supported Amber he still became something of an Idol for the religious in Amber.  The players in my game also had a interesting time dealing with some of Julian's Amber Cultists as they attempted to defect from Chaos to Amber.

That's funny; for me Gerard is the religious one.  Julian will only ever use religion if it suits whatever he wants at the time, in the best style of the most hypocritical Tv-conservative sophist.

I ran Gerard as being faithful, a reasonably honest son of the Church as it was.  Julian i ran as fanatical, the fanaticism of the convert. No zealot like a convert. Guilty about his past, feeling freshly forgiven,  a born again  Unicornist!    Of course his faith was sorely tested and he occasionally needed forgiveness as well as a good slap in the gob.   Amber Cultists from Chaos hunting PCs who were not following Julian's brand of fanatic Unicornism made Julian particularly tense.
