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.

[Normally when Katurian opens a document on his laptop, it's because he's writing something grotesque and terrible. Ever since his seventh birthday, his stories have had a darker bent to them, a tendency to leave its heroes bleeding and its villains victorious -- not to mention an inescapable tug towards abuse and child murder. His first month in Ryslig was marred by writer's block, but now that he's more settled, the words come to him easily.

Today, he's doing something a little different. He opens a blank document and stares at it for several long moments.

Finally, he types:]

I want to join up.

[He winces after he writes it, instinctively moving away from the computer screen. He's half-expecting something to pop out of it. ]

[ A blinking cursor, the threat of writer's block taunting Kat.

But after a few seconds, the words begin to write themselves. ]

[It's not frightening. Elias isn't frightening. He was afraid that it would be like when he encountered the Fog God -- an icy breath on his ear, not-quite fingers caressing his hair. Instead, it feels a little like he's restricted to the page. Like he's a fictional character.

Katurian prefers that in his deities.]

She's hurting everyone, Elias. She's using us to hurt everyone.

[He can feel the rage building inside of him, but he's not sure whether it's safe to let it out. Fuck it, he thinks after some hesitation. Fuck it.]

And she thinks that we're just going to let it happen because it's better than being dead, at least we're not fucking dead, but I won't stand for being an instrument in some lunatic's fucking torture fetish. Not without putting up a good fucking fight first.

Someone needs to hurt her back. Everyone tells me that "someone" is you.
