For every joy, there is a price to be paid.
The only thing that is humiliating is helplessness.
ABASI
Abasi nodded emphatically as he learnt that Wessex had experienced the shunning from the Gods too; though when she mentioned that she had not even had magic he raised his eyebrows, surprised. What would that have made her...? As far as he knew, the only race to be ignored were the Abandoned. Had she merely been a very unlucky Accepted (recently, he had learned they could also be ignored occasionally)?
"Many people seem shocked here by many things. I have had to temper my speech in several different ways, choose which stories I tell; it is odd to me, for this world is one of much hardship." He shook his head and blew out a breath tiredly, still not really sure how much was alright to say to somebody in Caido.
As for the questions...
"Pharaoh is the King of Egypt, but also the human manifestation of one of our Gods. He would tell us when the Gods had heard our prayers, when we needed to make sacrifices, when things had worked - so we knew it was not simple luck. We had a connection to the Gods." Abasi wholeheartedly believed this, as was clear in the trust in his voice. "And it is simple to devote yourself to all Gods. We would specialise, but everyone appreciated that each God had an important role. You would pray to each God as needed; for luck with fertility or for a deceased family member."

If his heart rules him,
his conscience will soon take the place of the rod.
