How do you see the Twelve?

[Kellach Woods]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaand I need to repost because Kell's beliefs completely changed. It's less of a retcon than establishing his beliefs prior to encountering the existence of the Twelve in Eorzean mythology and the Eorzeans' worship of her.

 

Lemme copy/paste a portion of what I put on Kell's wiki entry :

His place of birth do not follow the word of the Twelve, and in fact, had not really heard of Eorzea's deities. Their understanding of the world lies more in humanizing the elements and honoring them as it is their due. The Book of Rites are the collective knowledge gathered by their people in order to best honor the elements and be rewarded for it with either a bountiful harvest or protection from the elements' wrath. It also details their beliefs and rituals not related to the honoring of the elements, such as funeral rites. [...] The rites contained within are a mixture of Feng Shui, Shamanism and a Farmer's Almanac.

 

The "humanizing" part is far less developed than, say, attributing Ice to Halone and Menphina and lies more into giving human traits to things that are not necessarily human. They speak of massaging the earth rather than upturning the earth for planting seeds, etc. They fan flames literally, rather than figuratively, etc.

 

On his way to Eorzea, he'd encountered a bard that knew of his village's traditions and told him to not exhibit them due to beings called Primals and how his personal "worship" could be confused by Eorzeans as Primal Worship, which is "punishable" by death. Which is why he was silent on most of this at the beginning, but as he learned to trust a few people, he'd expound more on it.

 

He respects the Twelve, and may yet use one of the many curses in use by Eorzeans, but a "Lightning take me!" (perhaps not the best example...) may sometimes escape his lips. Other curses could be : "Earth swallow me!", "Fire singe me!", etc. Naturally, "Wind blow me!" is fairly blasphemous for... obvious reasons.

 

His affinity with Althyk, due to his weapon of choice and what he views as a contrast between his domain (time) and his weapon of choice (mythril greataxe).
