Aha, I had been fixated on the Eel-Ariash being a bunch of bigwigs. I hadn't considered that they were "new money." It makes sense, though.

Several other people pointed this out. Thanks, I link Tarsh and the Shakers pretty closely; I wasn't thinking of the wider worship of the Earth. Ernalda is "She-Who-Waits?" Really? Or is she one force that can fill that spot and, in other situations, another god would fit? (Or, because HonEel is so Earth-focused she finds Earth in the position of "She-Who-Waits.")

Well, that was my thought, too. On the other hand, Argrath thought it was a good idea to bring back Mr. Sheng. Of course, see how that turned out....

Hmm. I was wrong, and for all the wrong reasons, too.

I like to imagine engineers in Boldhome c1750 tearing down a wall and uncovering a tiny skeleton or two....

Well, that's alright them. Let the sacrifices begin!

The avatar part is the thing I missed. Thanks. Is Yara Aranis also an avatar? Is there a First Inspiration, or is that the Goddess herself? How about a Fifth? Sixth?
>That is because JarEel is just starting on her career.
There's more blood to come, then?
>Only for the good of the empire, of ocurse!!
Well, that's alright then. As usal, thanks for the answers.
