To Whom It May Concern,

Based on the current cycle of the moon, Easter ought to fall on the 7th Sunday from today, which would make tomorrow Ash Wednesday. I do not expect that a great many here share in these traditions, being that we are refugees of countless lands. I wish only to ask if any have attempted to establish the faiths of our home lands here in this new one, if there exist places of worship outside of the temples of Olympia and Wyver.

With sincerest thanks,

U.F.

[forgetmenow]

why is it ash?

[almaredemptoris]

For thou art dust, and to dust thou shalt return.

[forgetmenow]

i still don't understand. i'm not dust. i'd fall apart.

[almaredemptoris]

No, it means only that we were all created from nothing, just as the earth was created from nothing. And there will come a day when our bodies will perish and only our souls will remain.

[forgetmenow]

oh! that makes much more sense yes. i think.

maybe the chant of light has something like that too. i don't really know it well. they have a lot of days for a lot of different things... i'm not sure how people keep it all straight

[almaredemptoris]

By taking to heart what one practices, I suppose it simply becomes ingrained. What is the chant of light, if I may ask?

[forgetmenow]

it's the text of the chantry, written by andraste. she's the bride of the maker and his prophet. or that's what the chantry says. i'm not really sure if it's true or not, but people think it's very important.

[almaredemptoris]

Is this the religion of your homeland?

[forgetmenow]

yes.

well, one of them. it's the one most humans believe in, i think.

What of yourself, if you don't mind indulging my curiosity?
