"I see! My crew mostly does ancestor worship, but we have a lot of stories about different people's gods, too."

"Do you know any of them? I'm curious if they're recognizably our gods or not."

"Sure, lots. Uh - I am informed that the Targian gods are depressing, maybe... oh, Efari's fun."

And she can tell him the story of how the Efari miners came to discover their gods, hidden in caverns of stone far beneath their planet's surface, where they believe each planet holds a different group of deities. And she can tell him how, by appealing to the gods of their world, and being clever and brave and disciplined, the miners who found them managed to escape the tunnels before they ran out of food, and taught their people to honor the Efari gods, so that in times of great need they, too, would be given the resources needed to go on.

The gods in the story are not particularly reminiscent of Golarion's.

At some point she wanders over and listens.

"That's fascinating," he says when she's done. "I don't think they're Golarion's gods, though."

"That makes sense. It'd be good to hear more about the ones your people pray to sometime."

"Sure, anytime."

"Sometime soon! Thank you for talking to me."

"Of course!"

She... could talk to someone else human about marriage but decides that she's actually going to go find Fëanáro again.

Reading!

"Hi! - um, sorry, if I'm interrupting anything - ?"

"You're much more important than this books, you know."

"I guess so. Um, I talked to Fazil about marriage and - a lot of his opinions make sense for the circumstances that his people are working with but I'm not sure they're very good circumstances, and they accordingly don't have great results? They require wives to promise to obey their husbands, and they don't have contraception, so they just sort of keep having kids until they become infertile, and sometimes they stop being able to feed them."

"That's awful."

"Yeah. I told them we could get them contraception. I guess that'll probably solve several of their problems. Not all of them, but - it'll help, probably."

"We can get them food, too. - not sure what to do about the wives promising to obey the husbands."

"He said that husbands had more perspective and education and that you shouldn't marry someone if you didn't think they were a good person to obey. - men marry later and they don't educate their girls, apparently."

" - well, then maybe we can fix it by educating their girls? If that's the real reason instead of - the reason people give."

"Yeah, I told him that but I wasn't really sure whether it would address the - root cause, or whatever. He also said that women promise to be faithful to their husbands and husbands don't do that. Because sometimes husbands take second wives, apparently, and wives don't do that."

"My father took a second wife but I don't think it was actually a good idea even though I suppose they're happy now. - my mother had died and didn't want to come back."

"Sometimes people do it. It's not horrible or anything, even if it's not ideal, it's just - it seems like a weird set of default promises, I guess."

"Well, you don't have to do exactly what they do. Or even anything very like what they do."

"Yeah."

"...do you want to?"
