The disguised Archmage Oma was not unaware that there are people in this world who harm others without benefiting themselves.
But at least harm others, right?
Such words, what harm could they possibly do to an Archmage?
Even if he truly hailed from Harua, it would be the same.
How many true Mages genuinely revere the deities from the bottom of their hearts? It's just that no one can break away from the Weave!
If it weren't the case, Harua wouldn't have so many Mages openly abandoning Mystra to convert to Azuth.
Isn't that also a public humiliation to the current Goddess of Magic? When Black Eye was in power, there weren't many Mages in Harua claiming their faith in the Deity of Mages.
Elminster's attitude towards Azuth is actually very typical... Most Mages are egomaniacs, never thinking the world of magic is inferior to the deities.
Who doesn't know they were just retaliating against Midnight cutting off the Weave from the Evil Faction?
