        Being from VIS I have noticed a few interesting things about this continent. Your 'deities' for one seem to be open to speculation?
I am wondering if you would all be interested in helping me with an experiment.
Would you privately send me a vague but accurate description of a higher being of your choice and then I will copy down everything you write and share them here.
I am very curious to see which higher being people think the writing is about. If it stays anonymous, then there is no bias to guess.
I promise every one I am sent I will write here word for word. It will make a fun paper for when I get home.
    
    
         
        
Oh, going to wait until I get a few of them to put together. Thank you for participating ahead of time! It is a good distraction.

        This rather irreverent view of faith is to be discouraged.   Don't play games with the gods, for their role is far too important to be so lightly treated.

        Why should it be discouraged?
Seems to me Alkiri simply wishes to know more about the Gods to find which speaks to them the most.
Many in this town worship/follow the teachings of Valos. Others, like myself follow Galladel. There are many who follow the other gods.
Would you rather Alkiri, and others who don’t currently follow gods remain in ignorance and unbaptised?

I am not particularly religious, true, but I am curious in learning. Mother Sherwynne lets me take notes during her masses.
No one here knows of Gareg Ori and learning about names and the faith put in them helps one understand a new culture.
Though, there are two Valos' it seems like?
Unfortunately I did not receive enough responses anyways and now we are all probably real busy now.
