Faith was a strange thing, Moria reflected as she walked over to Tyrus. No one would argue that the ancestors did not watch over them and could not influence the living world, but customs changed, and openly calling on spirits for support and guidance these days was often seen as a sign of weakness. Which was foolish, in her opinion. Whether an amulet band worked or not, it couldn't hurt. As their father would say, what often counted was whether one such protective rituals worked. Confidence in battle guarded one more than any spirit could.
Moria contemplated the nature of faith as she approached Tyrus. While it was widely accepted that ancestors had an influence over the living, societal norms shifted over time, leading people to view the act of seeking supernatural assistance as a weakness. Moria found this perspective misguided, as she believed that rituals or talismans, regardless of their actual effectiveness, could provide comfort and support.
In her father's eyes, the efficacy of protective practices lay not in their spiritual power, but in their ability to instill confidence. Moria thought that having assurance in oneself during battle was more crucial than relying solely on the ancestors for protection. Thus, she saw value in faith, even if society diminished its importance.
