"Chaotic stuff doesn't scale well?"

"I wouldn't say so, no. Chaotic gods often affect many people's lives on a very small scale, or they affect particular individuals who they value for their own, idiosyncratic reasons."

"That makes sense. - Amentans might want to eventually have colonies on more planes, though so far none of them sound better to start in than Arcadia."

"It might be that some Amentans would benefit more on some of the other Outer Planes. Many of the good-aligned planes are comfortable for the average person to live on. If there are some more chaotically-aligned folks on Amenta, they might benefit from living in The Heroic Domains of Ysgard, or The Olympian Glades of Arborea."

"Where can I find out more about those?"

"I'm happy to tell you what I know, but you may find books that may discuss the topic more thoroughly in the library. Most of the chaos-aligned Outer Planes are less civilized and more...natural than Arcadia, but they are just as pristine and comfortable for people to live on."

"I think most Amentans will like Arcadia's magic rivers that clean things a lot but they do manage on Amenta which doesn't have those."

"Admittedly, I don't know which of those planes are clean to Amentan standards. They seem quite different than our own. Perhaps you would be better served speaking first to the priest of a god of cleanliness or purification. Lathandar and Eldath are such gods who have some presence here. You might also find an individual follower of Talona who could tell you more about her."

"What are their other domains besides cleanliness?"

"Lathander presides over dawn and springtime, as well renewal, vitality, youth, and turning away the undead- that is why I believe he may be able to assist with hygiene and purification in general, even though it is not one of his most advertised attributes. He also has a minor focus on creativity and athletics. Eldath is a goddess of groves and watersheds. She concerns herself with safe, secluded and serene places of nature which humans are able to use- if you wanted someone to help purify water, I would advise petitioning her. Talona is a goddess of poison and disease, but many of her followers administer antidotes, inoculations."

"Lathander might be interesting for other reasons because Amentans have a seasonal hormone cycle! And if Talona is not a goddess of people getting poisoned or diseased then she might be important too."

"Unfortunately, Talona is also a goddess of causing poisoning and disease. Chaotic evil gods can be very- fickle with populations, but very helpful to individuals they respect and admire. Individuals who wish to be figures of healing and purification, and believe they would get along with her, should be carefully vetted before approaching her. I would never recommend her to a city, but I might to a specific healer."

"Oh, that's - awkward, yes. I'll try Lathander first, do you know where I should go?"

"If you can afford to make the trip, I would recommend visiting Amaunator's realm on Nemausus. His people will be of great help both with establishing a government and with contacting Lathander, since he is- a close associate of his. Otherwise, there is a shrine here in Heliopolis which may at least answer your questions about their god, even if they cannot do more than that."

"Is the trip expensive or just potentially time consuming?"

"It may be difficult to find an unoccupied portal- especially because you don't trust the Harmonium. In that case, you would need to find a spellcaster who could create one, and that is likely to be expensive. There is no one in this temple who could do it. I understand that you plan to build a population of magic users anyway, so it may not be an additional cost for you."

"Okay. I'll maybe do it later. Where's the Heliopolis shrine to Lathander?"

He gives her pretty clear directions, repeating himself if she asks clarifying questions. There aren't many street names or addresses per se in Heliopolis, but they're named after the business, landmarks, and such that take up space on them. This makes navigating on the street level pretty simple, even without additional software.

"Thank you! Is there anything else I should know now?"

"-I am uncertain if there is anything important to you that I may have missed, but it is unlikely to be something urgent. I would advise only interacting with gods that you could worship, if your mind and culture were the type to encourage worship. Do not draw the attention of gods who would disapprove of you- and conversely, of whom you would disapprove."

"...okay. They're dangerous?"

"Good gods will rarely harm an individual who is not actively harming enough people that it justifies their intervention- until and unless you are killing multiple people in a day, it is unlikely to be a matter of concern. Evil gods, though, might interfere if anything you do interferes with their desires for what the world should look like."

"Okay. Are there even any shrines or anything to evil ones here, since this is a good plane?"

"It would be unfair to worshippers of evil gods to have no shrines, but- not past Abellio. You won't find any shrines on Buxenus- perhaps priests, but not shrines or temples, and on Nemausus- evil people are forbidden to settle there, and are not allowed to visit except for very narrow purposes."

"Will Amentans be allowed if none of us have souls so you can tell for sure?"
