To Orion, the sight was incredibly jarring. Archbishop Kysar was a zealot of the Cult of Four. Praying to the World Tree was a blatant heresy against his own faith.
"Don't understand?" The Lifeless Dreadgod smirked. "I'll tell you: mortals are inherently selfish. The World Tree offers him the Hope of ascending to godhood. Forced to choose between his Cult of Four and the World Tree, even a pig would worship the Tree."
Orion narrowed his eyes at the Dreadgod. He understood the logic, but it only raised more questions. If Archbishop Kysar now worshipped the World Tree, could he still siphon the Cult of Four's faith energy? Would his original gods still trust him?
"Kid, you're far too young," The Lifeless Dreadgod chuckled. "Those four gods are merely entities with a bit more power. That's all."
He left the conversation at that.
