Interesting. Push on that slightly harder and see what happens? Maybe his strategy will then be too obvious, but inferring other people's strategies from the infinite possibility space seems like it should actually be hard, or at least, fiction writers talk about how often their readers misinterpret them even when trying to telegraph things.
"Not a god of prosperity, a god of - teaching? Knowledge? Aside from everything to do with parents and kids, people who unselfishly want other people to gain knowledge are, like, one of the few examples I can think of Good that doesn't seem fully inhuman. I'm not one of them, but there are dath ilani teachers who want you to learn their whole subject matter in a way that seems - as unselfish as anything ever gets? And more importantly, there are people driven towards gaining new knowledge in a way that should code as either Good or Neutral, as I understand it? If there's a god for that, and people going with that faction are actually competent at what the god does, I am going to need the best of those people if I try anything on the order of reconstructing a nonmagical sailless ship. The sort of people who invent math before any wizards have a use for it because they are just that obsessed with math. Those people. Is there a god for that one?"
