The Book of Dividius
He Who Contains Multitudes
“He answers exactly half of prayers. He considers this statistically generous.”
On the Nature of Dividius
Dividius is the god of the Dichotomy itself. He does not take sides. He is both sides. He has been described as looking like a man standing in a doorway, equidistant from both rooms, perpetually undecided whether he is arriving or departing.
He is depicted holding the Great Scale, which always balances. Not because both sides are equal in weight, but because Dividius adjusts his grip.
His domains are: Balance, Division, The Space Between, The Pause Before the Answer, and Tuesday.
He has no temple. He considers the gap between temples to be sufficient.
The Prayer Answer Rate
Dividius answers fifty percent of all prayers directed to him. He has never specified which fifty percent. The Church considers this to be the most honest prayer answer rate in all of theology. We recommend hedging.
The Words of Dividius
The only confirmed statement of Dividius, delivered to the First Reconciler during the Great Balance of the Third Age, was as follows:
"Yes and also no. Both, really. You'll be fine. You won't be fine. These are not contradictions."
The First Reconciler sat with this for forty days. On the forty-first day, she wrote: "I think I understand." On the forty-second day she wrote: "I was wrong about understanding." The Church considers both entries canonical.
