Talk:Pariah Deities/@comment-29597796-20200423023539

Unfortunately the real Tekumel does not confine itself to philosophy only arguments. Keeping strictly on the topic of pariah gods would be more relevant to your dissertation as they are invisible like earth gods.

Similarly for the lament to the wheel of black. There are as many revisions as there are aspects of the gods. Ancient history is best regarded with earth eyes.

For to walk into a temple and not believe is insanity, the temples are the places where the god appears. Similarly a shrine in the country is no wizard of oz trick, everyone knows the gods are real. Remembering that Pavar was a priest of Ksárul, I tend to follow the Llyani and Livyani gods more closely, since it has been a suspicion that the lords of law appearing so late in history is suspect. Pariah gods are there simply to destroy as per the Goddess, there is no reason and worship is a fools errand.
