[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 1965033, member: 7280"] [COLOR=Red]OOC:[/COLOR] Again, for clarity - Zagyg isn't "offering himself up for worship." The drow are defacto directly in accordance of his portfolio for the time being: Magical beings in massive unexpected transition. If Zagyg were the god of storms he wouldn't "offer himself up for worship" by being sucked into the needs and necessities of a hurricane, he'd just have to attend to it. This is a similar situation, others are offering their divine services. The drow have stumbled into one of the basic building blocks of Zagyg's divinity, they don't [i]have[/i] to worship him at this point for him to attend to them. He's just [B]there [/B]because of the state they're in, providing divine aid in accordance to imperatives dictated by his place in the universe. When the sun rises, everyone worships the sun who enjoys its light. This is the same situation. Whether you acknowledge the sun is of no consequence, it provides you light because that is its nature to do so at the proper times and you are in the proper places. I don't expect the drow to know who Zagyg [I]is [/I]actually, and who knows? Maybe they'll be pretty ticked off when they don't get their "proper" spells. After a while the transition will be over and his influence will wane unless they stay irrational or cling to his power by their prayers. Like a sudden tornado that a storm god [I]must [/I]attend to, Zagyg [I]must [/I]do this. Just for further clarity, if any other of anyone's people decide to go completely nutjob over the lack of divine power they're also getting a dose of what Zagyg is really about as well. The circumstance of radical change and magic are the catalysts for Zagyg's divine "job" really, nothing normally changes much. What did everyone think Zagyg was all about, practical jokes? There are other deities for that. Zagyg is the god of the unexpected and MAGIC though, he's the error correction for the deities of magic and the only reason he's not a bigger deal is that the other deities of magic rarely make errors.
