This is one of my favourite bits of lore —pagans were rubbing down their deities’ statues (and themselves) with perfumed oils and ointments since the ancient Egyptians. Scent was both a symbol of divinity and an offering to the divine.

Fun fact about EXU: Divergence!
You do not need to have seen the end of C3, Downfall, or Calamity 😉
Trust me, those who have will EAT WELL, but you don’t need to be caught up to follow along.
