I don't really see most Loskalmi or Seshnegi doing this - its too far
outside their normal frame of reference, and by and large they don't
even know any 'gods' as anything other than demons. The exception would
be those people who are quite happy to practice 'black magic', and who
wouldn't refer to the things they worship as saints - the Rokari
Inquisition becomes a little more interesting IMO, if there really are
witches out there, and some of them really are a bit scary. I don't see
anything like it among the Loskalmi at all - they successfully purged
themselves of all of that, and a closet Loskalmi theist would be even
rarer than a Sartarite Heortling sorcerer, IMO.
