Eating from a gourd bowl is a sin. Playing certain music is a sin. All things of the Nesserines are a sin. Purple is the color of the Nesserines. They sup from gourd bowls. They dance to strange music. The Nesserines drove Suta from their lands and made her wander until she came to the oasis of Parames in Niita. They are accursed and so their works are also accursed. The Nesserines are our eternal enemies. They are to be thrown down. -- The Scrolls of Parase Naat, Goddess of Secrets and Shadows:It is a sin to fully reveal oneself, be it physically, mentally or socially. It is a minor sin to not mask one's face in some manner. The penalty for this is up to the priest, but usually it is to go without bread or fruit for a day. It is much more of a sin to reveal the secrets of others. The usual penalty for this is to use the Eye to force the sinner to say an unpleasent or unguessed truth about himself, so that he knows the pain and shame that he has caused another. -- Book of Ever. The Father, chief god of the former empire, god of kings and civilization.There are as many sins against the Father as there are stars in the sky. Disrespect is one of the greatest, for it implies you have forgotten that there are people better than you. A loose tongue is a sin, for a man should keep his own counsel save to his superiors; it implies you know more than they. Skill beyond your place is a sin, for it again implies you have exalted yourself above your betters. Not recognizing great skill and elevating an inferior is a sin, for it implies you beleive yourself to be the most high when only the Father has that position. Sin is like water: it flows downward, and the sin of one stains all beneath him. Thus is a subordinate responsible for his master's sin. Thus does the son bear the sins of the father.--Conversations in the Plaza: a Wandering Priest's Journal. The Mother, chief goddess of the former empire, goddess of storms.There is no such thing as 'sin'. Sin means disobedience and it's impossible to disobey me; I am the breath and the rain and the lightning. How can you disobey those things? Sin means doing things that don't please me. Like I give a tinker's damn what happens to you idiots as long as you don't go messing with stuff you don't understand and try to turn the world inside out or something. I like the world and don't screw around with it. I guess, oh, destroying the world would be a sin, but I'd still be here and you'd be dead and I'd just make another world without you in it. Idiot. Here, go heal your stupid fighter friend and leave me the hell alone for a while. All your screaming is getting on my nerves.--Transcript of a priest's encounter with the Goddess, when she deigned to answer a Question.</blockquote>
