Eh, I don't really feel like tossing that in. Like, every medieval world has that tired old trope, y'know? (Except for Tamora Pierce's books, in parts) I think my world will be one where it's a little odd, but it was never really made a big deal of to begin with so it never became a big deal.
So, a bit like ancient Greece then?
Maybe? I don't know too much about Ancient Greece. It's just... not going to be a big deal. I mentioned Tamora Pierce before for a good reason; in her books, gay characters rock up time and again, but they're just sorta
there. At least one is a main character (Who, admittedly, is a bit worried about how her friends and family will react), another is mentioned solely in passing and there's minute attention drawn to it, it's just a tiny background detail of the culture like anything else.
Really, though, it's tertiary information. The story doesn't revolve around sexual themes, it revolves around punching demons in the face, because I'm sick to the gills (Don't start) of fantasy novels full of murky alliances and tenuous peace and betrayals because man is truly the worst creature and the entire goddamn world is painted in shades of grey ranging from mid-tone through to 80% black. And it sure as hell won't be a modern fantasy book about a young girl torn between two paramours because that idea has been written into the freaking ground. It's like nobody wants to write a feel-good "The good guys are going to rip the king of hell a new one" fantasy story with a thrilling and amazingly climactic battle against evil. Everybody wants to be either the next Martin or Meyer.
I just wish the fantasy genre as a whole would pull its head out of its ass and quit acting like a goth kid that's lived in its parents' basement for years never paying rent but believes the world is black and grey because nobody can understand their pain, man.
Why yes this is a bone I pick at on occasion. Sue me, I like my villains a little more clear-cut.
BFEL! You're finally getting it!
I wonder what happens if you both cast the opposite forms of the spell together? Also, Ekoka's already read the Light book; he has a rank of 1 in Light magic.
And no, celibacy isn't really a thing. Priests are encouraged to find husbands or wives so they can really become part of their communities.
