After studying the dogmas of the major deities more closely, Leila came to the disheartening conclusion that most of them were contradictory, ambiguous, or strangely out of place in the context of the actions, or inactions, of the gods themselves. They seemed too human and imperfect to her, even if she saw value in certain aspects of their teachings. She openly doubted the divinity of the Seven, as it all seemed like a mystification and an attempt to elevate their leaders above ordinary mortals, pushing their desired ideas by any means necessary. It was also difficult for her to understand what separated a mere powerful individual from someone with divine status. Where was that line drawn? Did it include anything else? If so, was it fair to consider the particularly ancient inhabitants of Lunair as gods? But even if one accepts the fact that the Seven achieved divine status, it only means that any person has the potential to repeat their feat. Perhaps the Seven themselves followed someone else's example, just one that is less well-known in Lafrenia. In that case, they could serve as good inspiration for any mortal who desires to unlock their full potential... and the Cult of the Seven does not prohibit this. Another strange, unnecessary, and rather contradictory limitation. And it's not that Leila particularly dreams of divine status, but the prohibition on studying such a phenomenon, on elevating a mortal to the status of a god, discredited the ideals of Invidia, which she otherwise held dear, in her eyes. Such reflections, questioning all these dogmas, led the girl to realize one simple fact: the dogmas of Rishi were closest to her. In essence, the only thing they required was awareness, the ability to critically evaluate reality, and to determine for oneself what is most important. An understanding that people and gods are, in essence, not perfect.
