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.

You're a religious man, then.

[almaredemptoris]

A humble servant of God.

[badgerlock]

I suppose you won't appreciate the question of which God.

[almaredemptoris]

I don't mind it. We come from myriad lands of myriad creeds. I believe in the Christian God.

[badgerlock]

What does that mean?

[almaredemptoris]

Christians are followers of Jesus Christ, the son of God who gave up his life that men might find the path to salvation. Our God is the almighty father who created heaven and earth.

[badgerlock]

I suspect I'm missing too much context. But I appreciate your explanation, nevertheless.

[almaredemptoris]

My apologies. I fear an adequate explanation is not possible in so few words.

[badgerlock]

I think we miss so much. If I say that I served the king of the Six Duchies, people understand, but if I were to ask them what they thought the Six Duchies were, they might only know it is where I am from.

You have no need to apologize.

[almaredemptoris]

It must be that each of us is used to speaking only to others who share our homeland and our customs, and so there has never been a need to explain either in such great detail. I have told some of my beliefs. What do those of the Six Duchies believe in?

[badgerlock]

The king.

There is very little religion, in my own land.

[almaredemptoris]

I see. A king is but a man. However powerful he may be, he has his limits.
