Let me be blunter; the family I met in the Gray Forest worshiped the Enslaver and saw the Horned One as a savior for all peoples everywhere, because they had no ability to think anything differently, any more than they could think differently from each other. They were the perfect example of conformity that no one, anywhere, should ever want to be like, no matter how happy they seemed. It was one of the creepiest fucking things I've ever witnessed, and I've seen some damn creepy shit.

The complex is all we had hoped, with the white marble and gold, and it sits at the heart of the Faith's history, at Sanctum. I cannot thank Dame Thena, Father Orazio and Prince Edain enough, along with Cybele of the Mercies, Princess Alarissa and Prince Victus. I have chosen the first guards for the complex, drawing Godsworn from all of the fealties, from Sanctum itself, but also from Maelstrom, from Setarco, from Farhaven, from Bastion and from Arx. It seems right the first guards should come from the capitals of the fealties, and of the Compact. For those that wish to visit it, a special waystation has been built for Dame Thena's Knights of Solace so pilgrims can be assured of safety on the roads.
Now that the past is honoured, and our fallen interred, so we can look to the future of the order. To returning to our strength and preserving the Faith from all threats.

As for the question posed: If this family lives in compliance, and are happy, then I am unsure why I should not be content with that? I am also unsure why, if they are happy, the should want or care for my approval or endorsement. That right to live in compliance in Redrain lands for those who integrate Shamanist ways into their worship of the Pantheon is granted by treaty. If I may answer what I think your real question is: Do I /like/ shamanist practice? No. I find it odd and unfamiliar, for these ways to be alongside the things I find so familiar in the worship of the pantheon is unsettling as it would be to see a cat riding a horse. But. I also guard the lives of Mirrormasks, and Tehomic shrines, and I do not find comfort in the public worship of Tehom in the Grayson or Lycene style either - I find it unpleasant, that public doubt. That does not mean it is not true worship, and Prince Talen and I have debated before the difference in these things. He finds himself closer to the Gods in worshipping as he does, and I can like and be happy for him in that even if it is a path I myself would never wish to take.
There are several paths to the Gods within the forest of the Faith, and everyone has their preferred way - the path in their eyes that is most beautiful. Providing people do not stray outside of the forest, they do not abandon the ways of the Faith to seek answers without guidance or protection, then I am more than happy to live with that diversity of opinion.

This Pravus by blood, and her Grimhall husband (with Grimhall and Pravus being solid allies, in this and all things) would beg to disagree.

ELLY.
Stumphrey is the most majestic creature that has ever existed. He is the champion of Thrax, the champion of Arx, the champion of all Arvum. Centuries from now, legends will preserve his memory.

However, I can appreciate your position. I would destroy anyone who tried to take Stumphrey from me.

The Light that Guides; the Flame that Cleanses.
In the Gold of Dawn, the Dragon Comes
In the Golden Scales, We Bring Hope
For All of Creation I strive:
In the name of Mangata, I will bring succor and nourishment.
In the name of Petrichor, I will offer shelter and sanctuary.
In the name of Lagoma, I will bring purification and change
In the name of the Queen, we will bring ends and beginnings.
For All things Conceptual, I strive:
In the name of Limerance, I bring the truth of oaths and promise.
In the name of the Sentinel, I will uphold and seek out justice.
In the name of Gild, I will bring charity and mercy.
In the name of Skald, I will enshrine the right of choice and free will.
For the Ars, for Science, I strive:
In the name of Vellichor, I will bring light and learning.
In the name of Gloria, I will bring honour and stand firm.
In the name of Jayus, I will nourish dreams and inspire the many.
In the name of Aion, I will safeguard this world and its people.
And knowing the Thirteenth, I will reflect on all I do, to consider consequence and strive to better myself in all these things.
I am a Knight of the Golden Dragon. I am the inspiration of the Dawn.
I am the Light that Guides, the Flame that Cleanses.
So do I swear, before the gods and the peoples of Arvum.
