Though, I suppose you mean in terms of the pantheon? I am a cleric in service to the Order of the Sacred Flame. The gods Aelfric, Aeber, Alephan, Bifelgan, Brand, Dohter, Draefendi, Sealticge, if any of those do ring a bell.
[ hmm. he looks thoughtful? it's an interesting way to word that question, and there's a little flicker of something wry on his face, though it's hard to say what caused it. ]
...So the Church would say, yes. There are others who make gods and goddesses of their own, and choose to follow them as they like.
[ honestly it's mostly just contextual - it makes sense that there are gods you can worship and those you can't, because that's how it works in the Empire. Not that he's a citizen.
he clicks his tongue and thumbs the side of it, fairly dismissive. ]
Mmm. Devoutness, so often, is a blindfold. [ weird thing for a cleric to say but ok ] I find that the gods are not nearly so omnipotent or as unquestionable as those who call themselves as such claim them to be.
Alas! I am in your debt. [ that comes with a sigh. oh, the drama. though, lucien will fairly easily catch on to the twinkle in his eye and the touch of mischief to it. ] Though, you did dodge around quite a few of my questions, so I will almost certainly do the same.
[ as it turns out he is a cleric and also has a trash personality ]

So, I suppose you could say I'm not, either.

As you shouldn't. [ good for you you funky little weirdo ] Was that the only question you wanted to ask? I asked quite a bit of you.
no subject
For now. I think I'd prefer you to owe me one for the time being.
