On the Nature of Divinity:
We have learned many things about the gods in our time. I would share with you what I have learned and what I believe to carry truth.
The gods make mistakes. The gods know not everything. We can keep secrets from them, and many often do. The gods carry not the same free will we possess. They seem to see our world through only their own portfolio. Dark cannot understand good, no matter how hard it may try. Kull can never understand mercy. Bellicose cannot understand accepting things as they exist, and drives us to change them through competition. Urgo can no more destroy knowledge, even if doing so would prevent far more destruction, than we can fly by flapping our arms. We carry freedom to understand and act in ways they cannot, and this is the greatest gift they give to us. We must treasure our ability to act, to change our minds, to decide. It is though these acts that we show them worship. It is why they need us to exist.
