Question from a reader about the Temple of Power
Today's book tour stop was a fun one for me; all about the setting of Claimed by the Order. Here's something I'd also like to share on Goodreads.
Question from a reader about the Temple of Power:
Why are the gods without their divine powers while at the temple of power?
Answer: I like to think of a god’s divine powers in terms of being armed. Some places such as universities don’t allow weapons on campus. Since the gods have the use of their powers repressed while on temple grounds, I imagine it is akin to the gods giving up their firearms at the gate. Once inside the temple, every deity is on equal footing since they are forced to rely on diplomacy, social skills, and their physical strengths alone. Being disarmed of their divine powers also brings them down from the clouds, and makes them just as vulnerable as us mortals.
