Hi,

I was just thinking the other day, does Artemis Entreri worship any deity(/-ies)? Can't say I'd remember him making a single prayer ever, but I might've missed something just as well. Any ideas?

From the way he acted in Road of the Patriarch, I'd say no way. Not going to give away more then that, but it's pretty clear he isn't religious and why he isn't.

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I haven't read RotP yet, but that pretty much cleared the table. Didn't develop into much of a conversation, this one, but I appreciate the answer

Aye, figured you didn't read that yet from the question you asked, but that book will answer your question. :)

Agreed.

"Instead of asking why we sleep, it might make sense to ask why we wake. Perchance we live to dream. From that perspective, the sea of troubles we navigate in the workaday world might be the price we pay for admission to another night in the world of dreams."

Well, from a couple of example leading up to the Road of the Patriarch, it's pretty clear that Artemis holds little respect for religion. When he and Jarlaxle visited the Spirit Soaring and Cadderly, he was pretty much disgusted by everyone and everything there. Same goes with the drow follower's of Lolth, and the Spider Queen himself, he's shown nothing but contempt. And there's also some assorted small comments here and there.

Basically put, I'd say "no, Artemis is NOT a religious person".

I belive that Artemis has some issues with religion and priests, notice his reaction when he is forced to interact with a priest.

Sometimes I feel like Beshaba is sitting on my back, devoting her entire attention to me!
