Ssethregore, varied comments

You seem to be misunderstanding my point, though I may not have picked the best example. I was commenting to the fact that you stated that you believed that the Gods didn’t care who worshiped them, and I was countering that with “at least some of them do seem to care.” In terms of Illiir and the dwarves, there is something to be said about worship vs. appeasement (actually worshiping Illiir as their God as opposed to venerating him to stave off his ire), but until we get a Celestial Giant perspective on the matter I’m not sure we can 100% make claims about how that works.

As to your claim of “four races” worshiping Illiir, I must ask what 4? Humanity (including vals, dark-kin, kio, gnomes, and undir) worship Illiir as they are all “His Children” even if the included races are collections of half-breeds, and the dwarves recognize his power (the Solani seem to genuinely worship him, the rest are more appease, and the Encali and Bealaki are actively hostile). What other races did you have in mind?

Ahh, gotcha.

To the Khi’Faree we have their “God”‘s word that the PoM specifically led them to their destruction, so while they were worshiped I do not personally (emphasis on personally) believe that Illiir had any interest in their worship. He wanted them out of the way so Humans could thrive.

The Rualka are a more complicated question, as they were on a ‘front line’ plane on the war with oblivion, so it is also possible that Illiir was simply using them also. Sure, there was veneration on their part, but Illiir (to me personally) did not seem to care about them a lick.

Now, this isn’t to say Illiir really gives a toss about humanity either, but this same argument. He seems to have invested a lot in them, but it could just be he sees them as a better return on investment than these other races.

Anyway, to bring this thread back to the topic at hand: No, there is no intent to open up the Disciples to any non-Ssethric race. As always this may change in the future with story points, but until that time happens the racial component will remain.
