About

- Miac'Modria, Corinthea
- History
- Jodam has taken a vow to introduce the Goddess religion to the Etausi. He has travelled to various known colonies, and attempted to engage them in the teachings of the church. As a Peoluan priest he preaches from a stance of compassion and balance. He does not carry weapons on his person, nor does he attempt to force his beliefs.
- In his holy mission he has failed to convert any of the heathen lizard-folk, but he has come to understand their own spiritual beliefs. Jodam has come to think that they might be worshipping the same goddess in their own way. Although the sacrifice of their male hatchlings would be sinful in the eyes of the Goddess as he has been taught, he wonders if his understanding of the Goddess is flawed. Surely she would stop such a practice if she it was completely wrong, the fact that the Etausi still thrive on their own, following their religious practices as they do, lends strength to their approach to the divine.
- Jodam has revised his personal interpretation of the scriptures as he was taught them. Particularly the bits about treahni being the chosen people of the gods.As the Goddess does not claim to be the only god, nor to have created treahni, or the world. The Etausi have their own god, and are clearly the chosen favourites thereof. So Jodam has accepted that a treahni-centric view of the world, and the gods is not accurate. If the Etausi have a god, maybe the Pëlöryk do too. What about non-sapient creatures whom cannot speak? Do they worship, and if so what? Is there some prime deity that created everything, including the other gods? He is careful to keep such heretical thoughts to himself, for now.
