(inspired by a line that Oliver says in FEH about "gods" and 'em envying his beauty lol)
me: .... wait a minute, do other characters in Tellius believe in gods (eg a pantheon) even when technically there's only one/two goddesses (depending on which sanctioned religion you believe in?)
me: wait a sec just how many other characters are heretics? :D ;;;
ctrl+f'ing through PoR's script real quick: the only three times "gods" are mentioned (vs "the goddess") is Petrine, a random Daein soldier that defected with Shiharam, and ...Bastion?
Radiant Dawn's a little weirder because all the characters that mention "gods" do it more as a clear nod to Ashera/Yune as a level of divinity, not as something divine that's separate from Ashera/Yune.
This reminds me a lot of my spirit charmer research into Tellius and how many characters refer to demons ... mostly Soren, iirc, refering to Bertram.
Fascinating!
