conversations.value: Sword, prayer, pen. You have served Hesenia from the moment of your birth. Neither war nor peace caused your faith to waver; even now it holds.
  
  Hesenia, *the never-watching goddess*. She expects strength in life and promises immortality after death. She is just and she is kind, ferociously so. 
  
  Hesenia, *the never-watching goddess*. She is also dead--beheaded by her brother, the god Pasayiin.
  
  What becomes of the godless faithful?

  **Notes:** Setting information is sparse and players will develop the world as the story unfolds.
  
  As for play preferences...
  
  **Setting: **Fantasy.
  
  **Characters: **They must be a servant of the goddess Hesenia. This can be in any capacity or role.
  
  **Tone:** Serious. That's not to say it won't be fun, but please respect the mood of the game.
  
  **Scale:** Happy to let player choices determine.
  
  **Magic: **Again, to be determined by players.
  
  **Card play expectations: **Zero card moves are expected. I will play challenges frequently and give subplots/assets generously, but the focus is on character interaction and development.
  
  **Move expectations:** None. Post as frequently as you like if it suits the narrative.
  
  **Agency: **I expect players to be flexible when it comes to others narrating their character. Of course, any concerns will be considered and revisions requested if necessary.
  
  **Availability: **This will vary; we all have RLs so no pressure. Just let us know if you'll be away at length.
  
  **Character submissions: **Keep them short (approx. 200 words). Say as much as you can using few words as possible. Concepts should be focused; we can fill the gaps in play.

conversations.value: Nobody knows what will come of the events currently unfolding, but it cannot be denied that they are monumental and will echo across the centuries to come.

conversations.value: You believe wholeheartedly in your goddess, and trust her in all things... but you can't help but fear that the voice claiming to be her is a fake... or perhaps Hesenia's jealous twin, Aria the goddess of storms and bloodshed and trickery. This sometimes makes you hesitate when carrying out what you can only hope is your goddess' will.
  
  Even if it is Hesenia, the prospect of the dead goddess speaking through you is a terrifying one, especially since many of the things she asks you to do are... disturbing to say the least.
