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.

I'm sorry.

[The God does sound it, for what it's worth.]

She's been known to do things like that. And since you're a friend, I feel like someone should tell you that it's a possibility.

[It continues on in that near human tone, more inflection as it continues.]

It might not be them. It might just be....people you've heard of. Or known. But many of my friends have had people they love brought here. And then some of them have been taken away.

[ueteribus]

[Lucius has to draw a breath, slow, and though he does his best to keep his face composed as he would before his other leader, it's deep enough to visibly make his shoulders rise and fall.

He misses his loved ones but the thought of them here, suffering with him, makes him so upset bile threatens to churn up in his throat.]

There are few people that I love. I can think of many that I would name enemy.

[Lucius has plenty of allies, perhaps, but it's all about money and power. Here where he has nothing, he'd either be ignored or turned on. And that's not even touching on blood traitors or fools like Albus Dumbledore.]

It...it doesn't matter though. So long as they aren't here. If that changes... [Since he honestly doesn't know what to do, his voice drops to a mutter.] I'll worry about that later.

[fourthmade]

If that changes, I'm here. As much as you are here to help me, I am here to help you.

[The voice becomes mechanized again, more level and even.]

You know better than many of my friends what war means. And how to fight one.

Do you think you can help teach them? Someone needs to.

[ueteribus]

[Protection for his loved ones. Knowing they've been shielded by choosing the right side -- this is more like what Lucius is used to. He comes back to himself, remembering he must have faith he's made the right decision. It's how he functions. How he survives.

He's buoyed even more by what the voice asks next. For this is like what he's used to, as well.]

I've noticed that some of the others, they seem a bit...kind. Not schooled perhaps in the rougher ways of the world.

[He can be a general, a leader. Yes. This is the kind of active role that in a way he needs.]

My lord...it would be my absolute pleasure.

[fourthmade]

Their kindness has it's uses.

[There is a pause, and as the God continues the static grows again under it's words.]

But the darker things get, and the more we face those who have pledged themselves to her, the more we'll need your kind of strength.

[There's another pause, and the God seems...pleased.]

I think you'll be a good friend, Lucius.

[ueteribus]

[He doesn't make an outward response to that first part - though inwardly he makes a note of it. The Fourth God, whatever he is, is not wrong. Often in his past has Lucius found the charity, honor and trust of others to be...very useful.

He takes in the way the voice sounds as it continues to speak, and the beginnings of a smile appear on his face.]

I'm glad to hear that. As I've said, my ardent wish is to help you. I think, I know that I'll be...good for you. For your cause. Any way I could contribute...

In fact, I've already had something of an idea.
