[Cro Dreoilin] Up for Discussion: Do the Gods need worship?

[Charlotte Blackwood]

I don't think peek-a-boo what I was attempting to convey, more of a
"if you aren't aware of a certain pine tree in the forest, it still
exists, it just doesn't exist to the best of your knowledge/ isn't
part of your reality" & of course vice-versa for the other entity/
being...does that make sense?
