Description:
Emerald comments that if Nishan thinks it’s odd she should try living with the Unicorn.
Nishan stares at Emerald for a second, and then says, “You know she intends to use you as bait correct? Do you understand what that all entails?”
Emerald, shocked by the suddenness of this question, gives a nod and a blush, but not looking away from her eyes.
Nishan frowns slightly in thought and then says, “When the wasps… Attack you. Do your best not to drink any of their honey. Understand?”
Emerald tilts his head in confusion and asks why, but Nishan seems unwilling to answer the question. Emerald clears his throat and asks from which part of Zebra Lands Nishan hails from.
“Oyo.” She responds simply.
Emerald, having read some books on Geography, knows that’s in the country of Zigeria in the Northwest of the Zebra Lands.
Emerald asks how one becomes patrons of the Zebra gods.
“Go find a Shaman. I’m sure they’ll tell you.” Nishan says, and then sitting up a bit explains a bit more about the gods.
-Ekwueme is worshipped by mostly soldiers, mercenaries, hunters, and the “backwards” tribes (as she puts it). He has no temples, though people tend to build small shrines to him that Shamans travel between.
-Hiwot is revered mostly by farmers, politicians, and guardsponies. She prefers structured cities and laws. She wears a helmet and carries a pearl white, unbreakable shield. Her temples are large, impressive, white, and built with defense in mind.
-Marjani wields a staff made of Weeping Blackwood, and it’s said that anyone attempting to hold it besides her falls down dead. The staff secretes a thick black sap that she uses in potions that can apparently grant wishes. Her temples are usually a combination university, laboratory, and storehouse, and her Shamans are constantly searching for the rarest ingredients, lost lore, and new information.
