Indeed... [Another idle rub on the red string on his finger.] Another thing she is known for.
[But onto that next question.]
Well, you already know how Caelondia handles the Gods since the Bastion is a construction of theirs. They have a shrine with the various symbols of the Gods housed in it, and a priest or priestess to watch over it. Some had apprentices.
In the Tazal Terminals, we take it a bit more seriously. In the main hub of the Terminals itself, our Shrine is very large with separate areas for each of the Gods. Each area also had its own priest for that particular God, usually those who had been touched by the aspect in some manner. The easiest example would be for Gods such as Pyth or Lemaign. Some soldiers, when they retired, went to become priests. I actually considered such a path briefly, when I was younger. Smaller outposts throughout the tunnels had smaller shrines than that, but they still tried to give each God enough space.
For those who took care of Micia's shrine, they were often those who experienced great loss. There were mothers who had lost their children, or orphans... I even met one former warrior who lost his entire scouting group and dedicated himself to her. We all hear our calls differently, for different reasons.
Everyone can feel a strong connection to a particular God and even set up a minor shrine in their den if they feel there is a need. Still, you must give respect to each of the Gods. Ignoring them would be an insult.
