What I learned today has shocked me! Whilst talking to Lanua about which stories I'm going to write over the next few days, she suggested I write about the religion in Teeluw, "since it seems important to your people." I was confused by this. I had been under the impression that it was important to all people, and I don't want to write about things everyone already knows about - that wouldn't be any fun to read.
To my disbelief it turns out that Lanua had never heard of Enaerixer, or Roo, or Enan, or any of the other Goddesses and Gods I might have mentioned so far, until I named them. Nor has anyone else from her village.
In a way this is good news for me - it means I have nine exciting tales of how the Deities achieved their status to write about! And perhaps an entry on the structure of religion in Teeluw too. There is much for me think about. I expect I'll give an overview of the entire religion in my writing tomorrow, and then the story of each Goddess or God one each day until we reach Pon.
