I ask not for qualifications, I ask for opinions. How you see it, how you might believe or understand or know a thing. Does the Chantry ask so much as a by your leave before offering up views, unasked? I am asking.
[That makes all the difference in her mind. What she has to know is how people will shape a god in their mind, in the heart, in their hands. How it might have been done before. Might be done again.]
There are ways that the Chasind or Avvar overlap that might come close. Both worship spirits in different ways for they split from the Alamarri but one gives them names, calls them gods, the other is more animalistic, primal. In terms of the split. [The idea of god vs prophet is something much trickier, and Morrigan no Chantry scholar after all, but this is all interesting to hear, something more to consider so she does listen to it carefully. Quietly.] There are debates over Andraste, you might ask the scholars if you wish to be talked into the deafness or the grave whichever comes first. Why is it debated, what he was? Does it matter so much? Is it not clear? Succession and sons are very much made clear.
[Welcome to Thedas, inheritance matters even for the sound of Morrigan rolling her eyes in the background before she--
She stops. Swallows carefully because love. What need does religion have of love? How many people love the Maker? (Leliana, she can believe that Leliana does without doubt, as much as that might strangle her.) It's hard for her to keep some of the venom out but this is a rifter so she can save it for someone else, can think of Flemeth, of Flemeth's idea of love. Of choking vines, of a swallowing bog. Her voice is near-strangled.]
Love...love is many things to many people. Love is not always something warm or gentle or kind. Possessive, all-consuming, hungry. Love has made many a person do great and terrible things.
Would it be easy where you come from, to be but godlike yet to convince others that you are indeed a god? [Muffled Kanye in the distance.]
