I don't think you'd know him, unless our universes crossed over more than I knew.

[ a sigh, gearing herself up to deliver the usual schpiel: ]

Our God was the Necromancer Divine, King of the Nine Renewals, the Necrolord Prime, the Emperor of the Nine Houses, the Undying King... honestly, there might be a few epithets I'm forgetting, there are so awfully many of them. Mostly, I just called him John.

[ what a mouthful. ]

John sounds better than that drivel.

Right?? [ it's voice-only, but he can pretty easily imagine her flipping up her hands in exasperation. ] It gets inutterably tiresome when the mortals are just bowing and scraping and abasing themselves all over whenever he passes by. Can hardly get anything done for all the prayers. A waste of time.

[ the roll of his eyes is practically audible. ]

There's worship and then there's just being pedantic in your desire for it.
