It’s Tough To Be a God
A walkabout set in the world of Lightside/Darkside
January 15 - February 24

On the remote, largely barren island of Sunday, devout elves known as the Prudencians toil and observe their many religious practices, as they wait for the day when their gods - the Goodly Ones - will bless them with their presences. They know that one day they will come, because their most holy text, the Goodly Book, says so:

“And lo, when the time of Salvation is near, the Goodly Ones will come to the Great Rock. They will come with the rising sun and the falling waves, and bring with them their blessings.”

But there’s a snag in this holy prophecy: because it’s not the gods who arrive on the Great Rock. It’s the Investigators. And so now the Investigators must pretend to be the Goodly Ones. Which isn’t the easiest of tasks, not when the religion they are supposedly divine representatives of comes with a great many sins and confusing and often contradictory religious instructions. Failure to successfully pass as a Goodly One will be branded as fake gods - a most heinous sin - and punished with manual labour and dreary drudgework.

Turns out it’s not so easy to be a god.

If it's just a few random copies, then most likely people will think they misplaced them or something! in which case they will, of course, need to repent for the Sin of looking the holy book

There's probably not too much in the way of mundane fiction. Prudencians aren't big on "fun". Anything they do have would be in the vein of like, super on the nose Christian Lit. Lots of stories about Good Triumphing Over Evil Through The Power Of Belief In The Goodly Ones! etc etc.

Just to make sure - it's okay to say that singing is totally a sin! but that singing is also okay as long as it's not for pleasure, right? /gestures at ABC song and the above mentioned "things can be contradictory" thing

If not it'll just be a monotonous chant, but I feel like Sunday elves would feel strongly about alphabetization so everyone can read the religious texts, so they might approve of whatever gets kids to learn their letters?

That's totally okay, yes! Hell, you could even say that the Goodly Book says that Thou Shalt Teach The Children The Alphabet With The ABC Song or something, if you wanted
