Every place has its Gods. And there were four main facts about them:
● Many beings could beco Gods.
It was a mysterious process that was unknown even to the wises Wizards. Creatures, plants, rivers, places –– even objects and weather patterns –– all of these could develop divine spirits over ti.
● Gods are tied to places.
Once a spirit becos a God, it is restricted in its movent to its sacred place – a forest glade, a cave, a bend in the river, and so on. They could not leave this place and, thus, called on mortal agents to enact their will in the world.
● Gods barter with power
Since they were confined to their sacred place and hungry for glory, Gods are more willing to help mortals –– even passing strangers –– in exchange for offerings and favors.
The sacred place of Gods could take the place of a magic shop, where food and drink were blessed, totems were crafted, and weapons, armor, and other wondrous items were enchanted . . . for the right offering, of course.
● Gods consu Gods
So Gods were content to remain in their sacred place and interact with their worshippers, but many strived to grow their power and influence.
Gods would often incite those within their influence to conquer neighboring areas –– to weaken them so that the conquering God could extend their range to the defeated God's sacred place and devour their mana core.
This talk about the Gods reminded of Yuko, who lost her sacred place because of another god.
And then the topic changed to the one true God of this world.
I wasn't really a religious person, but I do believe in the one true God back on earth.
In this world, however, I didn't know if I could worship this Goddess because she was foreign to . This was the only ti that I got to know her with what little information they had given to .
In the ti when all races were still at constant war with each other, and the lands of Nordlands were plagued by never-ending battles, Goddess Zephora descended from above together with so loyal angels at her side.
With their overwhelming strength and power, they brought an end to the war and established what was now the Kingdom of Rustin, protector of the lands and all its inhabitants.
Before going back to where they ca from, the Goddess promised holy weapons to worthy creatures to protect the realm in her absence, and thus, the High Septons were born.
It got thinking . . . by all creatures. Then the Goddess ant that even the inhabitants of the enemies' Kingdom, right?
Then what's with the information about Septons and High Septons engaging in war against the other Kingdoms, I wonder?
". . ."
I truly believe that God is good. And it's not his fault if his worshippers were doing bad things. It's man's nature to make mistakes and learn from them.
