I laughed out loud when reading
@Duoya's post. I laughed as I thought of how much Gammaton is going to ruin Hayim's day. Because I read
@thewizardguy's post, and came up with a brilliant solution Somler's predicament.
In Islam (and probably the other Abrahamic faiths) there is the concept of the veil of the unseen, which means that human experience is limited to the physical, while the metaphysical remains hidden behind the veil. Though humans can have knowledge of the unseen, humans can never experience or verify it (except after the Day of Judgment). The unseen includes God Himself, details about the afterlife like Heaven and Hell, the Angels, etc.
One way to create a world in which both
@Rune_Alchemist's Iva'Krorh and Somler can live in relative harmony is to keep the realm of the gods distinct from the realm of men, so that metaphysical mystery will always remain, yet leaving humans free to uncover the mysteries of the physical world. This necessitates a world in which the dead never go back, and gods do not interact directly with humans. My plan now is to team up with
@Dealdric's Dirka to create 'religion', guided by her sorcerers so that humans can interact with the gods through intermediaries (shamans or priests), a force that stands as the line between the physical and the metaphysical.
Such an arrangement would, of course rain on Hayim's parade, since Hayim already commits several things that would be taboo under such a system:
1. He visits the TRIBE
S on a BIMONTHLY basis.
2. He's already told the tribes information about the other gods.
3. He performs miracles on the regular.
4. He takes people to Akhuz on a whim, thank goodness this tribe has some form of self-regulation, but the same might not be said about other tribes.
5. He lets people LEAVE Akhuz. At least this one turned to ash.
I'm laughing to myself maniacally at how much I have to be a royal dick and attempt to trample on the hopes and dreams of the smol hermit crab flower. But I will try to create a win-win situation.
