Added D-298, D-312, D-313 - Each realm keeps its own old faith, after its real-world model: saints and churches, ancestor rites, many gods or one. There is no shared faith.
- Every faith is split over the Tower, and four views run through all of them. None is ever settled (§2):
| View | The Tower is… | So… |
|---|---|---|
| Holy | a stair toward the divine | climbing is pilgrimage, and salvage may be sacrilege |
| Cursed | a wound, or a temptation | its tech corrupts, climbers are unclean, and some want it sealed |
| Neither | a thing in the world, like a mountain | faith has nothing to say; most engineers stand here |
| A gift to use | providence, put there for human hands | take the stone; common among traders and ambitious realms |
