- How do the Twelve interact with each other?
- If I have a cold, which deity is the one I'm most likely to pray to?
- Is there a deity that represents mercy in all of its forms, and more fascinating to me, is it female? Â (Most pantheons have at least one deity that represents some type of mercy, and I've yet to find one that isn't female, because while female deities can be every bit as terrifying as male deities, in general male deities are not associated with the qualities of mercy and compassion.)
- Are the deities jealous? Â Which is to say, if you are Ishgardian and you pray to a deity other than Halone - let's say Lymlaen - would that constitute heresy? Â Would a Wood Wailer pray to Halone on the eve of battle, or would he pray to Nophica (who appears to be a pacifist, but is the patron of Gridania!)?
-We know the Twelve do interact extensively and are, to various degrees, related. Some of them are related by blood, others by marriage.
-Since there doesn't seem to be a universal mercy god, I would imagine that the role defaults to the guardian deity of the specific person. Alternatively, Nymeia being the goddess of fate may or may not take on that role.
-Unknown as it relates to worship, but they do seem to feud sometimes. For example, Halone and Nophica allegedly did not get along well, and there is an Eorzean story about how Oschon(?) peeped on Llymlaen taking a bath.
