[It's honestly one of his main reasons for constantly coming to Horizon at all.
Sam's surprise about the gods isn't shocking, though, and Martin smiles brightly.]
I haven't seen any, but it's not like I'm expecting to. The entire religion seems to revolve around the idea that everything has a- like a spirit or a god to it, there's something of a major pantheon where it's all the real gods, a lesser-ish one that's full of legendary heroes and demi-gods and such, and then all the little individual spirits and such - I'm actually making recordings of all the information I'm getting on all of them, you can come listen to them whenever you like in my domain!
But yeah, so uh- right, people like to give the spirits and minor gods offerings and such just like the real ones - you don't really want to call on the entire god of animals and such when there's a perfectly good bull spirit living in your pasture that you can call on to protect your herd. You just give them a little offering, maybe a shrine or something- the belief is so strong here that I think it really does work. I've got a little spider shrine where I live, actually, it seems to make them happy.
