He had found his purpose, here in this strange sand-temple on a deserted island far from civilization. But then the enormity of his task punched him squarely in the jaw. He would champion the forgotten gods, yes, but there were millions of them. Where to start? He would need a roll-call of their names and it would take forever to even scribe it, let alone tell all the peoples of the world to remember them. He wracked his brain for a solution.
