Video, what are your thoughts on gods?

[runicfeathers]

[Willow's had this thought in her head for a while now and is curious with all the people on the train from different worlds, so she's finally getting brave enough to ask, even if she looks a little nervous on video.]

What are your views on deities? Are they real or are they fake?

[there's a pause before she gives her own input, getting her thoughts together properly.]

Gods in my world are... more concepts of the Mortal races of Rivaersa, as they do not truly exist themselves. Unless you count the planet herself, but most agree she's less a god, and more a living planet. We Immortals have become the idea of Gods, as we are as ancient as Rivaersa herself. The most ancient race, the Tharsi, are the closest to godly beings as any would get in my world; but again, they are not gods themselves, just a powerful and ancient race that spread knowledge through my world's inhabitants. Many "gods" of my world are merely the ancient Tharsi that bestowed knowledge upon the peoples, or any of the other ancient peoples and races. Mortals seem to take comfort in designating godly status to these ancients, which many of us find... strange and awkward at times.

Forgive me if I'm inclined to give the Mundane - and gameplay - perspective. After all, that's where I'm coming from.

You do have to admit your father's gift for identification has saved me from several curses so far.

That's true! And I do think of Dada Scherzo as sort of a parental figure, even though it was Mom and the dev team that really raised me, with a little help from Papa.

Anyway, I'm glad the least blessing helped.

...come to think of it what are your holy days? Eranda and Scherzo have much more public celebrations, but yours has always been more of a mystery cult. The woodscrafty tended to keep to themselves, for all Sekhmet relied on your boons.
