I have noticed there have been a few skirmishes. My own skill does not lay in combat, but if anyone is truly harmed during them do let me know, I should be glad to heal anyone who needs it as it is the very least I could do.

	Nobody has a direct connection to the Maker; He turned His face away, and doesn't listen to us any more. You said that you'd shared your soul with someone once - am I right in assuming that's not a metaphor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That is most odd. The Golden Goddesses have also left Hyrule, but Their presence is still very much felt and while Hylia does not speak to me I know She is active, and speaks to others.

I have, yes. I wish I could explain it better, but thus all the questions. Because my magic is inherently Divine, it just does. When I gave my soul to Midna, I knew how to do that but I could not explain the how of it all.

Well, dependent on whose accounts you believe, we might have deserved it. In as much as any child deserves to be abandoned, that is. Which is to say not at all but... what was my point again? Anyway. The Maker's not listening, but His first children are; they take our thoughts and dreams and ideals and try to copy them. And sometimes they get it a bit wonky, but when they get it right? Then they are truly formidable.

I suspect most people don't dig much deeper than 'it just does', when it comes down to it. Instinct is a wonderful thing.

Again, that is odd. There are a lot of similarities, but also a lot of differences. But it is hard, to judge Divinity by the morals of mortals. To do such would be to invite insanity, for Divinity will act in it's own unscrupulous way. And the latter I will agree with.

Yes but how much of that is my instinct, and not something passed onto me by my ancestor? That and I have a drive to know things, alongside the fact that if I understand this I can help my people more. If I do not know where my limits are, it may cost them.

	Petty, vindictive and disproportionate feels like an incredibly human response to me. It's definitely one the Chantry wasted no time emulating. Divinity is a poor excuse for injustice. You, though, I like. You ask smart questions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I do not mean to argue or cause hard feelings, but all those things could be something you ascribe to this Divinity. As mortals, we have a habit of placing our feelings on other things, even onto Divinity. But Divinity, for that matter, may not even understand such concepts. Not even such matters as justice. I do not know what a Chantry is though.

I try to. The person who claims to know everything is the most foolish person alive, and I've lives depending on the sort of questions I ask.

If He does not understand Justice - or any of the other Virtues that shine in His first children - and cannot be made to do so, then perhaps it is best His gaze remains averted.

The Chantry is the body that regulates Worship on Thedas. Technically there are two, because mankind cannot agree on anything.

Are you certain your Midna is not a Spirit of Wisdom? ... That was a joke, and one that relies on understanding a lot more than I've told you so far. Sorry. Either way, I hope you keep asking questions. More leaders should realise how many things they do not know.

Forgive me if I overstep. I am, after all, speaking of things I do not know. But you explained that your Maker's first children were reflections of mortals. Perhaps then they only reflect what they have seen, not what they were created with. But I cannot fault you for this view. I often wish the Goddesses would be as distant as they are said to be.

That sounds complicated.

No, but the irony is that I do carry a piece of Wisdom with me. Not a spirit as it might be named and the explanation is a bit of a long one, but as short as I can make it is that there is a Divine Relic called the Triforce. It's pieces are named Power, Courage, and Wisdom. It was shattered in ages long past, and the latter piece resides within me. It is also the force that drives me to learn, as knowledge is part of wisdom.

It's entirely possible. Perhaps there is no Maker; perhaps He is just another dream mortals threw into the Fade. I've yet to meet a Spirit who remembers Him, though asking a Spirit to remember anything is... complicated, given they don't have a precise concept of earlier or later, only now.

It both is and isn't. Most of the civilised world follows the White Chantry, while the Tevinter Imperium does things its own way.

So you're a... living reliquary? That's fascinating.

	There is that possibility as well. I am always unsure which is worse. I suppose it would make more sense if I knew more. In a way. (Reply to this) (Parent)
