Mythical Creatures/Folk (Spoilers ALL Books, including Words Like Coins)

[Farseer]

The Six Duchies seem to have a somewhat more... organic? view of their deities. Which I suppose makes sense for farmers, heh. What I mean is, they speak of the Witness Stones as being a place where the gods influence the outcome of events or have the power to bind people to their words (marriages) which leads me to believe that the Six Duchies people think of the deities as more or less keeping their own council. They don't seem to have prescribed religious ceremonies, but rather have places they can go that bring their lives more closely into contact with the Gods.

Likely I have touched on this before but this thought about the gods, via that Witness Stones etc, as binding people to their words or even binding people to their names eg that a name given at birth will become the virtue by which that person is known/lives their lives, well, it is very similar (if not exactly the same) to a binding such as happens with glamour, a Skill-command or the binding of a Pecksie etc. All just have to be connected. It cannot be mere coincidence...
