Visages Theories
So, I know the story so far leaves the origins of the Visages up in the air. It talks about how different Nations view them (some say they are actually different faces of the same goddess, some say they are heros who ascended to the top of the towers, and i think some say they are created by the goddess to be her subordinates...)
I have a theory. I think that they are completely unrelated to the goddess in their origins, and they only claim to be connected to her to give themselves a way to controll the citizens of the continent. I think they may be from another world entirely (like Ishael, the wielder of Soulbrand), and they arrived to the continent in a time when the goddess had stopped involving herself in the affairs of mortals, but mortals still reveared her, so it was simple for them to claim a vague connection to her and let the mortals come up with their own details...
Also, is Tenjin a male or female Visage? Bc I am re-listening to the first book and at first they used she/her pronouns when talking about Tenjin, but then they switch to he/him, I think... i'm so confused... like, Ketashi/Katashi calls Tenjin his brother...
