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.

you toppled the obelisk
took down her deluded priestess
helped me protect you
every time you've fallen
it was because you spat in her face
youve twisted her power into your own
and you WILL become stronger for it
so long as you keep fighting for what is right, what's true.
with me.
no subject
Y'know, you're right.
[Every time anyone has ever come after him to try and kill him it's been because of his connection to the Fourth and his opposition to the Fog. It's because of what he's done and the progress he's made that he's found himself a target.
That's not a problem with him. It's a problem with them.]
It just feels like everythin' I do... it doesn't change anyone's mind. It just makes 'em shore up around her twice as hard.
Killin' that girl didn't -- it didn't make her stop what she was doin'. How do we make them see reason?
[Because killing her followers and destroying her property is all well and good, but if it doesn't weaken her support base any then what is the dang point? A powerless figurehead with a large and dangerous group of zealous followers can still do a lot of damage through those followers.]
no subject
at this point, maybe she's too far gone
you can't save someone who doesn't want to be
[A pause, as if Elias feels regret, or maybe even sympathy for the disillusioned followers. Or maybe he just sees an opportunity.]
if you can't help people like her
help those who you can
those who haven't been influenced yet
save them before she can get in their heads, too
no subject
Maybe I'm not comin' on strong enough about it. I don't know.
[It just feels wrong to him to put so much pressure on new arrivals right off the bat when they're scared and confused already. He remembers what it was like when he first arrived. It would have just made him balk twice as hard, he thinks -- or perhaps he'd have had a keycard in his hand before whoever recruited him even finished their pitch. He wasn't exactly thinking too clear those first few days.]
no subject
i didn't force YOU...right? [a hum of the surrounding televisions, almost like an electronic chuckle, drags on for a minute and fades into a thoughtful drone.]
maybe you shouldn't worry about me for a while
show people what YOU can do
what you can make for them
what you can create
people are suspicious
and thats ok
but maybe if they understand the real power comes from you
and what you do with it
maybe they won't be so mistrusting.
