Seeking correspondence

I am a bannerman of House Liones, and a Cleric of Eodra, and I'm happy to share with a fellow HIbernian.

So far the biggest thing I've seen is most of you all have had occasion to walk with the gods, and speak of it with a casual air. Sometimes Travance seems to want to invoke them for direct intervention for major issues, like specifically wish their avatars to appear. In the rest of Kormyre we viewed the miracles we can perform via the power granted by our faith to be that intervention, and don't think to ask them to appear.

The other thing is my clan sees value in all of the gods of Eodra, each one has an aspect that is part of every day life. Most of the common folk pray to and make offerings to each of the gods in turn depending on what they hope for. Obviously there are priests who dedicate themselves to one aspect over the others, but I've encountered people in Travance who seem confused by the idea of worshiping all of the gods, like you have to pick one, or a few and once you've picked them, you gotta ignore the rest. Like followers of Aguara gotta deny themselves love, or followers of Andorra can't abide suffering or anyone who suffers. It's not nearly as bad as those Blazing Suns, of course. You haven't started slaughtering your way through anyone who disagrees, but it is kind of weird to see people act like there is no value in the respect Enax teaches, or the indulgence Glomm teaches.

Brother O'Dell,

If by willing the gods to appear you are referring to Necrophitus deciding to declare himself Grandmaster of the Rancid Bacon I tend to call "Extenuating Circumstances." A Ei...edo...Eideticlick that threatens both the gods and the material plane calls for all blades in the schiltron just a wee bit.

Ofttimes, as a Priest of Valos, I get associated with such behavior you describe. I am not that breed of clergy. I am Valosian, but his notion of Justice tends to be where I am called, with War as a close second.

We should be learning from one another.
