9th Rune [Video]

...How do you memorialize a god? I realize that there are many of us here who still don't agree with the gods, their war, or the way they've chosen to go about fighting it, but I think we should all recognize the sacrifice that Freyr made. Regardless of whether or not he was only trying to protect the other gods, it's a fact that his actions saved us all when everything looked hopeless, and he should be honored for that. A funeral doesn't seem quite appropriate, but I'm not sure what else would be.

I know not of worship to any god, but - for a fallen soldier and a noble sacrifice, I think perhaps a vigil would be in accordance.

[ ooc; is it okay if I have Arthur at least offhand aware of Lyon through the Guard and Frey? ]

Something like asking everyone to light a candle in Frey's memory and put it in their window on the same night, maybe?

((OOC: Yup, that's fine with me. She's also knightbros with Lancelot and was at the party Arthur had for him to celebrate, so feel free to have him be as familiar with Lyon as you feel is appropriate.))

Something of that sort, yes - or perhaps a gathering about his altar for an evening. There is one at the Welcome Hall of each district in honour of their patron.

[ ooc; ... I have the weirdest deja vu of asking you this once before. I am so so sorry. orz ]

That sounds like a nice idea. Even just a moment of silence would be good, I think. I'm sure the gods would appreciate it, too.

((OOC: It's okay! I have trouble keeping track too, so no worries.))

I do wonder. Their responses to Freyr's broadcast were ... not entirely what I might've expected. Then again, apparently they can be rather unpredictable.

[ To put it lightly. ]

[ ooc; awesome, thank you. ;; ♥ ]

Every family has its issues, I suppose.

Particularly those in a position of power.

[ A small smile. They would know. ]

I may seldom think kindly of our hosts, but I would still give due respect to he and his kin. We live another day; for this, we should be grateful. Perhaps a show of support might put us in a better light in their eyes.

Yes, I think you're right. It certainly couldn't hurt for us to try to look at things from their perspective once in a while. We can't expect the gods to understand us without making an attempt to understand them, after all.

Ah, but how could we mere mortals possibly fathom the trials of a deity? I will not hope for much from them, but it is worth a try.

Right. It can't hurt to at least try.

Do let me know what you and the others come up with. I think I should like to be there.

I will. Please let Lancelot know for me too.

Of course. Until the next, Lyon.
