Personally, I've axed the Time of Troubles thing that led the god to depend on followers to survive (which would also make the Wall no longer needed as a form of insurace for the gods), and I don't have Ao in my Realms (on a side note, AFAIK, Ed's FR don't include him/it/whatever either). Either way, one could just say that the gods get power from worshipers, but they can survive because of the concepts that they represent and stand for, and will get more power when someone acts according to their tenets, willingly or not, or nurture what they represent. It just makes more sense to me, and it's way cooler (IMO) than the gods getting power because people decided to perform some random rite. That said, I don't get why people are saying that the gods wouldn't get worshipers if the Wall didn't exist. I mean, A LOT of RW people follow some kind of religion, while having absolutely 0 proof that their gods exist. It's very unlikely that most FR people, that can even communicate with deities, would refuse to follow one.</blockquote>
