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.

[This isn't prayer. He'd only ever pray to God - the God. No. That doesn't feel right anymore. That doesn't feel true anymore.

This isn't prayer. It's a message.]

I'm sorry. I... couldn't stop the attacks. I failed. I wasn't even all that helpful, overall, but-- but you know that, don't you? Haha.

But I'll... I'll keep doing my best. We'll work together, because-- because you'll keep me safe. I know you'll keep me safe.

... With every passing day, I... it feels like the fog is seeping into me more and more, like she's just about to take over my mind and turn me into... into a complete monster. I feel it every time I'm hungry, every time I look at a human and feel like... like dragging them under--

I'm not human anymore. I know I'm not human anymore and I haven't felt human for a long time, and... and I know what it means, but I can't...!

Please. Please, help me.

[In his private messages, there will be a short letter, written to him and sent with a user name that is a random collection of numbers that seems to overfill the input bar.

It appears the next time he looks at his messages.]

she cannot have you.

you are not hers.

i will not let her take you.

i will keep you safe.

[ For the next while, most often when he dreams, Marco will find himself in the arcade.

He cannot leave. There are no doors. There are no windows. But why would he want to?

It's safe.]

[So Marco has been a pretty devoted follower for a few months now, but ever since he went adept, he has addressed the Fourth God particularly frequently. Granted, this is because he believes one of the voices he's been hearing belongs to the Fourth himself, but surely, they end up making their way to the real deal.

Not that there is any such distinction to Marco. He always responds in thought, at the very least, but when he's alone, he will often speak back too. Words of appreciation, devotion and sometimes fear for his own soul - all for the god he is so adamantly sure he shares a special connection with.

It will take time, and there will be dangers, but he'll do what he must. He will save everyone, including himself.]

I promise.
