Do you keep your gods here? I've wandered the ship.
There's not a temple or sept or statue.
Who knows to work the vehicles in the hangar?
Also what is an augment?

I hadn't thought to look. I guess I figured given the circumstances there might not be the room for so many.

[He can only imagine how many different religions there might be, given how many there are just in the world he's from.]

Besides, I'm pretty sure if the gods I know were here I would have heard from them. They aren't exactly going to keep a low profile, but they'd more likely send someone to represent them.

[Actually, he might well be representing them without realizing it. But he'd rather not think of the implications that Juno or someone contacted Hathaway and asked them to come pick up Jason.]

[wolfchild]

Where people go they bring their gods. [ case in point: braavos. ]
Which gods are yours?

[notthatjason]

Well sure...but I meant in the physical sense to have a temple or shrine or place of worship for every possible religion out there? Is that possible?

The gods of Greece and Rome. There are several.

[wolfchild]

Braavos has hundreds. Even the gods that have no worshippers anymore have the Warren. Their statues and symbols are moved there and there they stay.

[notthatjason]

[That grabs his attention, after all he's sort of promised to honor ALL of the Greek and Roman gods that had been shafted since...well forever. The more he thought about it, the more daunting it seemed.]

So the Warren is a place where the gods won't be forgotten, even if they don't have active worshipers?

[wolfchild]

Yes. They’re still gods. They’re honored there.

[notthatjason]

But how do they set up something like that? How do they know a god no longer has worshipers and that its time to take their likeness to the Warren? Or remember what that god is even called?

[wolfchild]

Fuck if I know. I don’t work there.
I begged on the steps some days is all.

[notthatjason]

I was just asking. You sounded like you knew something about the way they work.

[wolfchild]

All I know is what I hear. I hear a lot on the streets, but not that. You'd have to go to Braavos and ask the men working in the temple.
Why do you care?

[notthatjason]

I made a promise that I would help bring honor to all the minor gods and goddesses back home, the ones who feel they've been forgotten or ignored. I guess I was hoping for some ideas on how to make that happen.

[wolfchild]

Remember the stories. And tell them to other people so they remember.
A story one person thinks is stupid another person might like.

[notthatjason]

That's actually pretty good advice.

[wolfchild]

[ and strong oral tradition saves the day once again. ]

I always give good advice.
