and this may be fiction but Talia is parallel to our world, remember?

*takes on patient tone again* look, the original goddess had a consort and a son. Right? Good, we've got that far. but she was replaced by mary magdelene from christianity. And she doesn't have a consort or a son. so that sorta contradicts itself, and I am so not getting this!! and you said why did they like mary better than her consort or son, the anwer in the book is (i just finished it) because they prefer a woman ruler. But mary magdelene doesn't have either!!!

Time to step in.
The goddess and her son were replaced in Talia by Mary, mother of God and her son Jesus.
But the patron saint of the lagoon is Mary Magdalen (no son) and lagooners sometimes muddle HER with the goddess as well as muddling the BVM with the goddess. Basically they are wired to worship women. Is that OK?
Mary

Dia, you're ungrateful! *makes hand of fortune and then a sign against evil* soz, dearie, but I don't think that that'll work... or are you di Chimici? *narrows eyes* only the most evil want to exploit the stravaganti - and if you look, I'm a talisman carrier.....
hey, why is being a talisman carrier so great? I mean, even a new stravagante has a talisman! So they'd carry them! I can't wait to be a duchessa...... *dreams of glory*

*dreams of being an all powerful duchessa too*

don't worry you are going to get there soon, you only have twenty posts to go!! I'm still a little way off.... takes 775 away from 1000....... (this may change since I have posted this....)
So if you're a stravagante, and you're evil..... you're an evil stravagante!! You wanted gold........ a di chimici stravagante!! (don't want to think about it!!)

oh..nuh uh!!! im just a stravagante!! im a good one !! i woudlnt do that anyways..cus i kno if i sold the gold..whoever bought it would have a talisman!! ....the di chimici's are dumb..that would happen if they tried to steal stuff so there's no point...you'd end up in another world all the time unexpectedly....

Well, how to stravagate safely, obviously.... Do you think he knows how to do magic? he must do if he's an apprentice, but he never uses it..... Maybe a flaw in the book? he never uses skills he learns from Rodolfo! And how come they get magic and science? We just get science!
