Perpetua 21: A Roar Across Cenn 03

All across the Elevana League, pilgrims leave their homes and travel over great distances towards the city of Cenn, determined to meet with the only member of the Ennead who deigns to walk amongst their worshippers. As a matter of propriety and faith, what transpires between Castine and his believers is largely kept between the embodiment of metal and his visitors. But it is not uncommon to see echoes of the conversations in the life that follows. Greater confidence. Lesser cruelty. A new found curiosity. When you walk your lap with the Living Metal, it is said, you may find yourself newly tempered. This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 03 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] Some Feedback [Page 22 of 24] Alukard83 What do you think you'd ask Castine if you could walk with him? FriendOfNei You actually can if you get the right answers during the Temple Infiltration. But that's a good question, I'll load my backup save and try to update the FAQ soon with as many answers as I can get from him soon! Alukard83 Oh thanks. But I meant in real life. Like would you ask about the future or about the past or maybe about some secret only he would know? TheDiamondRanger I'd ask him where the ultimate weapons are! TheUnforgivenIII Wow, a rare good question from Reverse Dracula. I think I'd ask about my grandparents (mom's side). Never really got to know them. XxZelgadyskXx I don't know that Castine knows about stuff like that. He seems more into like, statues and shovels and things made of metal. XD Alukard83 I mean he's a God right? God is omni-scient, so he'd have to know about things like TUIII's grandparents. Even if we just meant in Perpetua and not IRL, he could watch them from like… candle sticks and forks and stuff right.  CarlsSr god doesn't exist lol Doom_Tree_Anne I think it's a good question, Alukard83! From what I've read, it's not clear what exactly Castine (or God, if she DOES exist, I'm agnostic) can or can't do. Sure, there's clearly a lot of miraculous and powerful stuff that happens in the story (game and IRL religions). But there are always limits, right? Like how Castine couldn't see into the Hexcloak office because Aegir did that trick with the light and with Caoimhe's sword, or how in real life, a supposedly benevolent (that means kind and loving) God lets bad things happen to people. But that doesn't mean that they aren't loving. Just that they aren't actually all powerful. A lot like us. Anyway I thought it was a good question so I wrote a fic about it over on the Creative Writing board. If you search for "Walking In Iron Shoes" you should be able to find it. Let me know what you think n.n;;; TheDiamondRanger What's a fic???
