Hi!
Hmm. I always play the elder races as closer to their gods than
humans (per an older source that I can't remember off the top of my
head) and thus not likely to engage in misapplied worship. Except for
rootless elves, broken dwarves, etc. However, both responses seemed
to accept it as a given. Hmm again.
Thanks,
David.
