Had to explain the difference between Aethirion (Judgment and Law) and Iltheris (Mercy and Redemption) to a friend today and they couldn't quite grasp the idea that Aeth doesn't care about nuance, while Ilth cares so so much about nuance, and that is why they are often at odds. And eventually had to just say Aethirion is Old Testament God and Iltheris is Jesus. If Jesus was a mouthy little fuck who regularly was like 'Hey, somebody should go punch my dad.', and God's response was to have a temper tantrum and then sulk because no one else except other Old Testament God Caltheris (Fate and Judgement/Vengence) That did not help, and if anything only made it so they had more questions.
