I should think even soulless Shinki deserve a name? Since I cannot say they are a male or a female, are there names that are...neutral? I have sought out Georgian names - since their origin seems the most fitting - but only a few appeal to me.

Eteri, for example, has a nice sound; as does Imeda. Can you immediately determine gender based on them?

(The first means "ether, air" and the second means "hope", which is why they appeal to her so much (besides their sound).)

I welcome all suggestions.

A Nora is a Shinki that is named without their permission? How is that their fault? I do not understand why that should be held against them. The god should be the one punished.

[pure_radiantics]

Actually a nora is any shinki that is named by more than one god. You're right though, I don't think it's the shinki's fault if that happens to them.

[stonebird]

How does that come to be? Gods should respect the names other gods have given unless...

The names were somehow unsuitable?

[pure_radiantics]

The way I heard my friend tell it... I don't think it was a 'suitable' problem. I think it was more the 'respect' problem.

[stonebird]

Then it is unforgivable. A name does not determine who a shinki can become.

[pure_radiantics]

I agree. I think my friend was treated like a tool.

[stonebird]

I will do what I can for those like your friend if I am made aware of them.

[pure_radiantics]

Thank you. I'm glad you're a nice god, Miss Sansa.

[stonebird]

I can only do my best to treat others how I would like to be treated.

[pure_radiantics]

I know what you mean. I'm the same way. I hope if you ever walk by the temples of Artemis and Baldr you stop in to say hi.

[stonebird]

The temple of Artemis intrigues me! She is not so different from Dali, I do not think. If I visit either, I will look for you.

[pure_radiantics]

You can mention my name too. At least then they'll know why you're stopping by.

[stonebird]

Thank you. For safety's sake, I will remember.

Are any of the gods...protective...of their temples?

[pure_radiantics]

I'm sure some are... but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Oh but there are some animals that roam a few of them? Like I've heard birds in some, and bears too.

[stonebird]

Birds I do not mind, but bears? Should you visit my temple, all you need worry about are sheep and deer!

[pure_radiantics]

Oh! There's deer at our temple too! Thankfully there's only the one bear to avoid that I know of, but then another temple has a lot of them. I haven't been there yet.

[stonebird]

I think I shall avoid said temple for safety's sake. I have no desire to be bear food!

[pure_radiantics]

You can just teleport past it though! Since you're a god and all.

[stonebird]

It is easy for me to forget! I do not think I will ever be accustomed to godhood.
