"The... Chant of Light?" She'd read a bit about it, and may have come across a few instances of it actually being quoted, but that didn't make sense. "The same Chant of Light that was written by man?" She can draw more and more parallels between this and religions she already knows from home, but she's sure she sounds like enough of a skeptic as it is.

That's especially true when she learns that many city elves likely worship the Maker simply because that's what they'd learned while growing up, rather than for any genuine belief. While not as awful as the plight of mages and elves, it's still sad to think that people will live their entire lives according to rules set aside by a Chantry that hasn't sounded particularly trustworthy over the years, at least according to Hermione.

"Maybe people will be free when they realize they're allowed to learn about the ways of the world on their own, rather than follow a strict code their parents passed down to them. I have nothing against most religious beliefs, you understand, so long as a person really believes and isn't just using it to justify their own complacency or bad choices."
