yeah, the red god is real alright. she keeps to herself more than most gods, so i guess she could be worse, but her cults are all ominous as fuck

and everybody in the city has to play by her rules, and obviously i have a problem with authority. so, you know

I get the picture.

What happens to those who don't play by the rules of the gods?

[brightlyburns]

depends on the god. this one only has the nine rules, though, and everybody here knows what happens if you break them

everybody (technically) has a right to freedom, commerce, and death, and if you deny any of these to someone else, you get marked up and lose the red gods protection on that front. everybody has a duty to defend the city, praise the red god, and pay the booze-tax, or the red god smites you dead. and nobodys allowed to mint coin, try to conquer the city, or blaspheme, or the red god does....... something to you, that isnt murder this time, but that always leaves whatever poor fuck that got hit with it catatonic and weeping. she takes your mind

The right to death? That's an interesting one.

Is death commonly denied?

[brightlyburns]

this is, on a very real level, the worst city in the world. death is often a mercy here, and the locals arent exactly the most merciful bunch ive run into

if someone is at the point of asking for or trying to obtain death for themselves, the red god, if nothing else, apparently doesnt like that much autonomy being shat on
