So I was looking around at lore regarding dwarfs and titans and what not and im wondering if being a dwarf paladin and worshiping the titans are mutually exclusive. could a dwarf paladin derive his power in the light from his faith in the titans? or are the two completely separate and unable to mesh together? thanks!
Wielding the light is about willpower and the belief that one can wield it. If the dwarf believes the Titans to be denizens of the Light’s will, then I don’t see why they would have to be mutually exclusive. An individual can believe what they wish about rarely seen, god like beings.
Truly, however, the Titans are beings of the Arcane and Order. They are not from the Light. If you purely worship the Titans, you may have difficulty wielding the Light. However, if you believe they are progenitors of the Light, beings of the Light’s will, or something else in that line of thought, then you should have no issues. Or if you separate your faith in the Light from your worship of the Titans. Say you worship both.
I’m not sure that the Dwarven veneration of the Titans as their creators is actually the same kind of thing we call god worship. Dwarves seem to be more of the questing for the truth of things than the unquestioing blind adoration given to a diety. That would remove any real contradiction between venerating the Titans as a creator and worshipping the Light as an abstract force. Although the fact that Humans give no personality to the Light makes it hard for me to believe they actually worship it.
I see the Dwarves viewing the Titans more like their parents rather than their gods. They’re searching for their creators, not the worship of them as gods.
A Paladin using the Light doesn’t have to contradict them viewing the Titans as “parents”.
