His voice is only slightly mocking. "It's true that most beings need something to live but the gods are at the top of the food-chain. Do you enjoy the thought of being devoured? You won't even know it's happening until it's far too late." "You know what happens to the souls of the dead? The soul is drawn from its native plane to an outer plane and their deitys domain. There is is stripped of all thought, all memory, retaining only a small core of its own being. It is reduced to an almost mindless servitor of the entity or alignment who it dedicated its soul to in life. And although it may gradually evolve, during the passage of millennia, into a more powerful being it remains forever lost to its original self. When the soul eventually dies again it is absorbed, devoured by its plane and thus by the deity it worshiped. In the end we are nothing but food. That is the petitioner-system, a conveyor from the mother's womb to the god's stomach and only a lucky few can escape it." "It is this system that I, and others with me, seek to bring an end to. Faith moves the planes, belief can change the multiverse. If enough mortals stop believing in the current order and the gods who defend it we could make this a better reality. But small-minded people ever cling to the familiar, no matter how horrid it might be."He shakes his head in deep regret, looking at Brystasia with seemingly genuine pity.</blockquote>
