I'd like to say a massive thank you to everyone who's contributed knowledge and advice to this thread, I'm really grateful for it! I feel a lot more informed and I'm enjoying seeing deeper into the lore :) I'm pretty confident I can work up a decent plot outline, and all this information has...
Would Ao not be upset at the lack of balance in powers? I thought part of what he does as overseer was make sure that no one god became all powerful and try to keep at least some relative balance?
Sounds legit! Though I figured it might be difficult for him to convince all the other Gods to read a book. Does a God reading the Cyrinishad have the same effect as a mortal reading it, or does it just take a chunk of their power and make them a bit mad?
