While I do have a... religion of sorts, you could say I am a follower of the Gods Below, whereas others may follow the Gods Above. There is nothing more than this.

Think of us as the arbiters of the scales, in a Great Game [ Again, with the emphasis. ] For the players -- Gods Above and Below -- can have no direct interference with Creation itself, and must therefore send those who would seek balance. After all, if your opponent has as much control over the world as you do, perhaps you could be in an eternal stalemate, yes?
