Does Monkey King exist in Tergaia? After all, you've got Dao-Ming, what about MK from Journey to the West?
While the Monkey King/Sun Wukong doesn't specifically exist in Tergaia, I'm sure there's at least one demi-god related to Dao-Ming or Loki running around acting a fool just like him.
Does Buddhism (or a different version) exist in Tergaia?
The analogue to Buddhism in Tergaia would fall under the worship of Dao-Ming, with her followers known as Dao-Ren

Do the Tergaian's know the words "Loki's Wager"? If a human used it, would Tergaian's be curious about it? After all, it involves the name of a god.
Well, they certainly would know what those words individually mean, and I'm sure they have some story attached to Loki that'd fit the bill even if it's not the exact same story as Norse Loki. *googles loki's wager*
...If a Tergaian heard that story I think they'd confer they'd never heard of it happening before but would agree it's inside Loki's wheelhouse for him to do
So in the first FFH story, Caduceus mentions that the Earth and Tergaia timelines match now. Have the "Theoretical Thaumaturgists" caught onto this detail?
Some may have across the world of Tergaia but no official consensus has been reached yet. The scientific/thaumaturgic method still needs to be done and unbiased* tests/research done to confirm the results.
Plus an official consensus coming so soon assumes there are enough Theoretical Thaumaturgists actually talking to Humans -before or after the end of FFH1- to reach that conclusion.
*ain't that a laugh
What if humans had conferences about their ideas and problems, and it was broadcasted onto a Tergaian radio channel? Do you think this is possible and at which time? Five or ten years from FFH: TTA?
Very possible, and probably.
Did/do they use trenches in Tergaian wars?
Still gotta dodge and duck to avoid arrows/spells while shooting your own arrows and spells, don't ya?
How are Tergaian wars different from Earth wars? Are they easier or harder? I was just thinking that Tergaia has probably never experienced anything on the level of WW2.
While guns and missiles don't exist on Tergaia, there are still bows/crossbows, swords, catapaults, and dragon riders (aka planes/bombers) alongside spellcasting. I can't say I know enough about, you know, Real War to make a proper comparison, but I would imagine it's closer to WWI military warfare at the moment. Not close to Fat Man and Little Boy dropping, but a step above muskets and cannons.
How do the other gods feel about Caduceus? I'm sure they respect his position but I like to imagine they see him as a colleague rather than an upper manager.
I like to think of it as a Knights of the Round Table situation: yes, Caduceus is in charge and has the title of King, but everyone is generally on the same level.
His decision to pierce the Veil and allow humans to Cross Over came after a godly consensus (with the caveat that if his "experiment" failed, the others wouldn't help him fix it) instead of as an order/proclamation.
I get the feeling that Caduceus consumes a lot of Earth media.
He does! And because he's got The Ultimate Passport(tm)* he can jump between Earth and Tergaia on a whim and just indulge himself
The original idea for his appearance including him reading The Colo(u)r of Magic from Discworld and drinking a Slurpee.
*aka he's a god he has the power he can cross over willy-nilly without a care in the world (and does so on a regular basis)
Do they have submarines in Tergaia?
I like to think Tergaia is only recently exploring the ocean depths, so diving suits and bathyspheres seem more likely than submarines at the moment.
Why haven't you included Caduceus in your Annual Swimsuit Competition on deviantart? :)
Because
and
B. no one voted for him
Do your gods have embarrassing/funny stories like some of the gods in Earth mythology? Tergaia has the Tome, and Tergaians care a lot about blasphemy, but they must know some stories of a god making a mistake or doing something funny.
Have there been embarrassing/funny stories at the gods' expense that are recorded in the Tome which are ultimately viewed as morality lessons for Vigilants? Yes, of course.
Are there even more that never made it into the Tome and are only known among the gods themselves?
Oh, honey.
Probably.
i really want to meet the gods of your world
Oh dear sweet anonymonymous, they'd only break your heart
About demigod children in Tergaia. Do demigods get visited by their godly parent? Additionally, does the mortal parent get visited or is it a no contact relationship after the birth of the demigod child?
Unless it's something super-mega-Tergaia-shattering important, they tend to go "hey kiddo i'm your parent have a good life" and fuck off (because that's how gods do)
Oh, also, do gods reveal their true identity to their mortal lover? Or would that create too much trouble?
I feel like they at least give subtle (or not so subtle) hints depending on the god or goddess, but generally they try to reveal themselves once at the bare minimum.
Did the gods create Tergaians, or was it that magic tree?
Yggbíl created Tergaians, the gods just manage things*
*Things = Tergaia
are the gods of tergaia telepathic?
Why, are you scared they'll find out about that thing you did when you were 7 years old at the park and thought no one saw you, Anonymous?
