Many–Paths Dance - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki
"The Many-Paths Dance is a collective term that refers to those ancient Khajiiti beliefs that predate the Riddle'Thar Revelations and hearken back to the #LORE [compendium_sixteen_kingdoms]#! of ancient Elsweyr. Centered around the arid lands of Anequina and originating from a period of struggle and competition in Khajiiti culture, the Thousand Paths have a martial and stoic bent, and hold notable reverence for dragon-deities like Alkosh and Akha."

| "Khajitt makes little distinction between those spirits who foreigners call "Aedra" and "Deadra". In truth, all spirits are of the same origin, the little of Ahnurr and Fadomai. Owning to this perspective, worship of deities that others would regard with disgust takes on benign and inoffensive characteristic among the Khajiit, and not even the most zealous devotees of the Divines would describe the Khajiit as "Deadra-Worshippers" |
