It does, and by that definition the Maker is the only one that qualifies, supposedly. I'm not sure he's actually everywhere at once.
Or even made the world, honestly.
Or... exists, by that token.
Maybe that's too far.
But the story goes he made the Fade and the spirits, his first children, and then turned away because they had no souls, so he made the world we know instead with the Veil between
Only he didn't. Some bastard elf did.
And there's the mess of dwarves supposedly not being the Maker's creations, but if the Maker supposedly created the world and everyone in it, then wouldn't he have created dwarves?
So there's holes in the story.

I mean no offense with this question but are gods even really necessary? Does Thedas have gods of soil and rain and whathaveyou and no one pays them any memory, or is it just a rock in the Void that happens to have life?
Or maybe not no one.
I know the Avvar and Chasind have gods they worship, but I never gave that much thought.
Maybe they have the right of it, paying homage to the Mountain-Father and so on
I don't know the names of the rest.

[chrisisofaith]

The Mountain Father?
Korth?

[wolfehawke]

Yes, that one.

Wait.
You've heard of an Avvar god?

[chrisisofaith]

Not just an Avvar god
He’s lord of our mountains as well, immutable as gods of the sea, earth, or air

[wolfehawke]

No

What?

You're telling me there is a real god in Thedas and it's an Avvar god???

[ That is absolutely brilliant. He actually laughs aloud that tickles him so much. ]

Maker's breath, I wish I could remember the names of the others and see if they were known to you too.
One of them is a sky lady or something?

[chrisisofaith]

[He smiles to himself for Hawke’s clear disbelief. He can almost hear it spoken aloud.]

That’s a little too broad, love. There’s a god of the sky as there’s a god of the stars and the moon. What aspect of the sky?

[wolfehawke]

I think that was the actual name
Lady of the Sky or similar
I don't know much about it considering the Chantry calls them false gods or demons

[chrisisofaith]

That one doesn’t sound familiar, but it’s not odd for only one or two gods of a pantheon to travel or even establish many different homes

[wolfehawke]

Really? I always thought of them as a set.
But I guess it doesn't have to be.
Are there others that are similar between worlds that you've heard of?

[chrisisofaith]

A few
I know some of my gods are on Lucian’s world, including the Raven Queen
I’ve heard of The Morrigan from a few different versions of Earth who sounds a lot like my Matron as well
Jon recognized Zeus and Hades when I mentioned them and aspects of hell from my world reflect in a story he knows from his home

There are too many coincidences across the worlds, connected like intricate webs, to be discounted.

[wolfehawke]

I wonder if any are watching this world.
There was that alter ritual thing before, right?
So they have gods.
What if that's a connection we can use?

[chrisisofaith]

They have a number of gods from what I can tell, they and Insincerity both.
That doesn’t mean they aren’t a dying force, I’ve yet to see a concerted following nor holy influence in the environs.

Unless that Kraken is a god

[wolfehawke]

Could be
Any kraken gods in Faerun?

[ It's mostly a joke. Mostly. ]

[chrisisofaith]

not that I know of
There’s a shark god somewhere off the storm coast
And the kraken wizard in the Moonsea, but I don’t think it’s a god

[wolfehawke]

wait
Krakens are magic?

[ Faerun is more wild than he originally thought of squids can cast spells. ]

[chrisisofaith]

I mean they've got some innate magic
But most aren't wizards. That requires study and usually books
Which pairs poorly with water, last I checked.
We didn't stick around long enough to ask it

[wolfehawke]

There's probably a spell to repel water
Like a wax spell or something
There's a thought
Though I don't now if that'd be enough to let it go under the water
But that's not the point! The point is great bloody tentacled monsters being able to cast spells!
Actually if it can't get books hows it a wizard?
Maybe it was a kraken sorcerer?

Wait where were you that you met a kraken mage?
Is that normal?

[chrisisofaith]

Trust me, I'm also confused as to how it could make the somatic components work, but I've no intention of asking it

And it lives in the Moonsea itself. Down at the bottom, in the sunken ruins there, the Bell in the Deep.
Northkeep, rather
It kidnapped Kallian for nearly a decade until we accidentally found him

[wolfehawke]

Lives as in still?
Even after it kidnapped your first love?

[chrisisofaith]

Not for lack of desire.
When we got him, we were all wearing underwater breathing accessories but him. My focus was on getting him out, not avenging his time lost.
I will do that when the city's back on its feet.
For now, it's surely more an inconvenience for Mulmaster than Deismyr.

[wolfehawke]

Fair enough
Maybe I can help?
I would like to see how an underwater wizard would even work.

[chrisisofaith]

If and when it becomes a problem, you're welcome to join the party to help.
Maybe we can make an earing of water breathing into a nipple ring for you

[wolfehawke]

[ There's a pause as Wolfe laughs at the thought. ]

Sold.
I'd love to see the look on your companions' faces when they ask why I'm not wearing it and I tell them I am.

[chrisisofaith]

As would I. Amnos would laugh. Silver won't get it.

I've got to go back to it love, next appointment's in a handful of minutes. A big burly guy needing to cry and beg; I'm sure you'll know him when you see him.
I'm all yours in another hour.

[wolfehawke]

He's in for such a treat, the lucky bastard.

I'm looking forward to it, Love. Especially if you've not had enough begging for the night once you're done 😏
