One might even think that Thorne and the Free Cities would get it extra because they >don't offer tribute.

[Alucard knows enough mythology to consider it plausible at any rate.] Maybe the better thing for you to focus on would be why Thorne has a lack of information. Easier to sniff out, at any rate, whereas...frankly I can already assume the Free Cities and their focus on progress have reason in the words I've just said as to why they don't focus on any deities.

[Sometimes, it is nice when things are obvious.]

I'm not sure where this path leads, but it feels safe to assume it will end up fueling conflict.
