That sounds close enough to Alll-mer that I can see it, I think.

So they're at least a little aware.

Signs are pointing to that they should probably know what that tree means, if they know the basics of it. Every child in the Vatican knows about the Garden of Eden at the least.

[ Y'all can we cut that tree down. ]

Do you know what sort of sins are considered the worst by that church?

...Murder.

[ Like doy. It's kind of grimly funny almost, if Marcoh didn't look a way about it. ]

Ah. A common one, unless you're talking about Bhaal.

[but that's neither here nor there.]

Your Lady?

[ Shadowheart never gave a name. ]

No, no, certainly not. [yuck.] That's the god of murder. But the aesthetics of that god are very striking, we'd know. No subtlety there.

Oh. I guess, then that might be a bit like Gro-goroth.

[ Sometimes you really do just have gods of death and murder. ]

[yeah! that's normal.]

Lots of nasty sacrifices, piles of corpses left littered everywhere? I follow Shar. She has subtlety and does not wish to be given someone's entrails as an offering.

[she just wants them destroyed psychologically and then maybe also still killed.]

A little bit. Grandpa told me it was a bit like that in the olden days. Things like that died out in most of the modern world [ 1942 ] but I learned some places apparently still do it.

Good to hear they have mostly died out. I must emphasize that these things are frowned upon, to say the least. But cultists can be found.

It kind of depends on how old-school you are where I'm from, and with how pious.

...

Oh, I frown upon it too though.

[ Just adding that in, he's no crusader. ]

Are you from that sort of faith? Do the old school ones still practice it?

I mostly go to the Church of Alll-mer. It's the biggest one in the Vatican, probably most people at least worship casually.

It is the one whose scripture has all that stuff I mentioned.

[oh ok it would be awkward if she was shit talking the murder faith but that was his. she's an open-minded lady, Bhaal is just so. Icky.]

So a little more mainstream.

[ Everyone is like where's the part where he's super fucked up Lowe and wouldn't it be funny if it was actually murder faith. But no yeah.

He nods. ]

As far as the new or ascended gods go, ay, he is the most "mainstream" I think.

[i believe he is super fucked up and we will find out more]

Shar is a little less on the beaten path, admittedly.

[ OK ]

You just worship the one, too?

Just the one. [a smile.] Though there are many, the gods tend to be jealous of such things, when it comes to their chosen ones.

Lady Shar does not suffer those who dabble and search for who has the best offer. Those who betray her are punished for it.

Most are not picky. Many Dark Priests worship more than one. They say Rher is jealous, but more that he does not want to share power, less about having believers.

... She communicates with you often? Your Lady Shar?

Not often, no. I have only heard her voice when I was in her inner sanctum.

But she shows signs. There are ways of knowing if she is pleased or displeased.

That's good...? A lot would say some answer is better than no answer.

They might. Then again, it depends on the exact nature of the signs you receive.

If you never liked what you heard then there probably wouldn't be a religion around it.

[ Prooobably. ]
