Lets not get too stuck on basing all of how ancestor worship
works based on one scenario hook.
Its certainly possible that different ancestor worship
traditions work differently, and work such that spirits in the
fetishes are not denied to others necessarily. Its possible that this
is the case even if some ancestor worship traditions do not work this
way.
