[QUOTE="Voadam, post: 4725438, member: 2209"] [b]At the Athenaeum[/b] Hinjo seems a little confused but says "My meeting with the assisstant loremaster is in an hour, are you all three going to stay and attend? Or are two going off to the markets? So far I have read about different ceremonies and sacrifices to various gods, for instance they practice a form of divination at various temples where goats are sacrificed using a ritual knife and the liver is cut out to be inspected for omens. I've seen some references to bronze knives used for certain ceremonies and black stone obsidian used for others. The texts use either celestial or draconic depending upon the era and city they are from, there was a period of draconic overlordship and draconic became the imperial and holy language, replacing the earlier celestial based one. Some of the different gods include Shamash, the sun god that the Lothian empire tried to use as the cognate for converting to Lothianism. Then there is Tiamat who was ascendent during the imperial draconic era, Ishtar the war and passion goddess, Ereshkigal the death goddess and Nergal the Hel god, Marduk who slew Tiamat and ruled the gods, Enki his father the god of enlightenment and knowledge who started the Tiamat-god war by slaying her consort. Anyway the texts are over here starting at the little shrine to Enki. I was planning on studying up until the time of the Audience with the loremaster." [/QUOTE]
