Vaeri's long ears perked up at his words. She didn't expect him to know the gods she mentioned, since he was human, and they tended to avoid learning about anything they didn't have to directly interact with, but his words opened up an avenue for her to start talking about theology without sounding like she was proselytizing anyone.

"Corellon Larethian is the elvish god of arts and magic. Glorfindel is a high priest under him. Garl Glittergold is the gnome god of Trickery, and Moradin is the dwarf god of creation. Glorfindel's argument is that these gods establish a dedicated following in these groups so that they have a guaranteed base of worshipers in exchange for protecting them over other groups, which is why they're set up like this. However, does the fact that gods have domains already give them an established set of followers from each of those domains? Glorfindel also shows that he has not put much effort into researching many deities outside of his own. Understandable, but it hurts his credibility the few times he ventures out from speaking about Corellon." Vaeri paused to look at Derrix to make sure he wasn't too lost. She could feel that she was about to launch into a tirade and the number of people she knew that would be interested could be counted on a single hand.
