Note
And here we have the work that I have been slaving away at for a while now and has been a long while coming if I'll be completely honest. Also to be completely honest, I'm fairly neither my Religions nor my Classical Civilizations professors thought this would be how I apply my hard paid for education. To be fair, there isn't much else I could use it for other than going into academia, which would require going through more of the higher education system, so no thank you!But now I present, the fruits of my labor.

Fanwork Conclusion

What has been the purpose of this section of this work? Is it merely to display works I believe are good? No. Whilst I do believe they are good, as I believe most works are good, my aim is to show these works as exemplars of how one might work with this trope through its primary lenses. The first, emblematic of the researcher, the second, emblematic of the laymen, the third, emblematic of the worldbuilder. Each of these works has key elements that I believe are able to be taken as advice, even if that lens is not that which you wish to use. The Breaking of Glass holds that no one religion is better than another, A Speaker and His Wraiths, Blue of Blood, and A Touch of Death show that the layman can still adapt their knowledge and understanding, Ouroboros the importance of ambiguity and ubiquity.

But the true question is this: What evidence of religion lies within the source?
