This is a place to send your prayers to the Fourth god. He may not always respond, or he may respond in ways you don’t expect, but he is always listening.

Speak, he hears you.

OOC note:  As of April 2020, threads with the gods will be capped at three NPC replies! Please keep this in mind when writing god prayers to make sure you get everything you need out of the thread.It’s also possible to handwave prayers by titling your comment HANDWAVED PRAYER. Handwaved prayers lack our usual flourish, but you can expect a faster response!

As of February 2024, god prayers will be handwaved only. Please only submit a prayer if you have a question for either god which needs answering in order to progress your character's arc within Ryslig. If this is something you need to tier up within the god boon system, or just to set up a player plot in general, please don't hesitate to submit a prayer about it! You may shorten it down to an OOC summary of what your character is asking. This will allow any of our helper mods to reply much faster, without having to dig into the specifics of either god's personality/writing quirks. Should this limitation be lifted again in the future, this note will be removed.

[White font on a somber black background. Elias doesn't exhibit the same urgency that the Fog did to Aunamee, taking his time in slow, plodding keystrokes, neurons firing through an electrical computer network, to tell Emily what he knows.]

hello emily

i was waiting for someone smart enough
to fact check her loudest conduit

he doesnt know how to play nice

but hes telling the truth
this time

[A true-to-scale round pink orb appears on the screen. It is roughly the size of a softball, big enough that a human hand cannot enclose it.]

the pearl
getting into the wrong hands
is a deadly mistake
we cant allow anyone else to hold on to that power

the only way to stop it
is to bring the pearl to someone
you can trust
to keep it safe
i can do that
bring it to me and ill keep it away from the fogs hands
and restore ryslig to safety and balance

Ooh, okay. Ominous! What's so different about the way you'd handle having the Pearl and the way the Fog would? (Sorry if this is too nosy, by the way. There aren't any supernatural beings where I'm from, so I'm not used to dealing with your sort of entity!)

she wants to destroy the humans of this world

think about it
the people who were brought here after the pearl was taken
theyll all

[The screen blinks in all-caps, a bright and luminous red.]

DIE

[The monitor dims and settles again.]

only if the pearl isnt used carefully

what i want to do is protect the world from her touch
protect those lost people
and help them like I help all my friends

[greyaria]

That's very nice of you! :)

Just one more thing, if you have a second: the crazy person [takes one to know one, Emily] running the Fog cult described the Pearl as

diminutive by design. It is one centimeter around, and it is written that it gleams gold and black in the Fog like nothing else on this land. The sun cannot do its beauty justice. Only in Fog does it glow.

Why is your representation of it different, and what's the significance? And, on a practical level, how are we supposed to know it when we see it?

tage
she only knows what the books tell her

shes never seen the pearl with her own two eyes
shes searching blind

its big
like a baseball
a little bit pink
a little bit white
ask the naga twins
theyre not very smart
but theyll tell you the truth

good luck emily
i hope we can fix this
together

[This does not stop Emily from saying "Thanks! I really appreciate you taking the time to chat!" to the air.]
