Shame if anything happened to it..."I also remember a bit of lore that says at one point the wall was abolished only to be reinstated by the demand of all the gods when people began to stop worshiping them. It would seem to me that a better solution would be, I don't know, to actually be worth worshiping? I mean it can't be that hard if the biblical god can do it without putting in a public appearance for thousands of years, having his holy book be a jumbled mess of contradictions, not granting his worshipers any supernatural powers, and possibly not even existing at all (jury's still out).If he can get a massive following, how hard can it be when you can prove you exist and actively perform miracles through your priests on a daily basis?!?Combine this with the stuff like the god of 'innovation' making stuff like gunpowder not work, enforcing medieval stasis for longer than it took us to go from barbarian tribes to the space shuttle, and I feel there is only one conclusion to be drawn about the FR pantheon:They're a pack of bullies unworthy of even respect, let alone worship.Of course my characters mostly don't see things that way. It requires an external perspective.</blockquote>
