[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 9847372, member: 7635"] Well, that depends on WHAT religion you follow... If you worship the Sovereign Host or the Dark Six, you probably aren't getting to see your God in the flesh. There have been times that certain dragons have claimed to be the manifestation of a particular sovereign, but if they are or just a delusional dragon is debatable. That said, the Traveler is rumored to appear to mortals from time to time, particularly changelings who claim he lives among them disguised as a changeling. The Silver Flame? Go into the heart of Thane and you can see the pillar of silver fire burning. You can even talk to it and sometimes it talks back. If you worship the Ancestors of Areneal you can take a boat ride and visit the Undying Council in the flesh. Likewise, a priest of the Blood of Vol can meet their "deity" in the flesh if they are suitably evil and power hungry enough to warrant Lady Illmarrow's attention. The Carrion Tribes worship the Fiends. The Cults of the Dragon Below worship all manner of powerful Daelkyr and Fiends trapped in Khyber. They only can't meet them because of the prisons their deities are trapped in. And the Path of Light isn't a deity but a cosmic power. You can't meet it anymore than you can meet The Force in Star Wars. What Eberron does lack is the omnipotent and all powerful abilities ascribed to deities in other settings as a result of trying to filter polytheism through the lens of Jeudo-Christian understanding. Its not that deities don't walk the land, it's that they aren't so powerful as to mimic the all knowing and all powerful Christian concept of God.. [/QUOTE]
