Why the Extra Es?

"Aelanes? But the e and the s are silent."

"Yes as it is a family name."

"You come from a family of bad spellers?"

"To me and mine your country is the one with the poor spellers." I could see just then my apprentice was a wiley one. We had been walking a bit since his revelation of wanting to learn from me as his master. I was still trying to feel him out (outside of his silly name) he puported to be a master swordsman, and shockingly he didn't want to become a necromancer, but instead had sought me out for my expertise in dealing with evil (the lands of the east still consider the vengeance god evil, despite them giving her all that power to begin with, such is the problem with history being written by the victors). He had studied under someone who ran one of the cults devoted to me (they were all cults, because despite me saving all of their asses worship of me was considered wrong, which again history written by the victors).  When he reached his current status and could see no way of going higher he was told to sought me out, it was intended as a joke at the time, but clearly by him discovering me he took it very seriously. His name is prounced Alan by the way.

"And here we are at my shop." I had taken the long way, anticipating some ambush in one way or another there wasn't one, it appeared Aelanes was true to his word and he just wanted to be my apprentice.

"You hide in plain sight? Brilliant."

"One thing you'll note in this land I'm not thought of highly to put it lightly." Aelanes desposite the bag he was carrying of his supplies behind the counter, he took in my shop with an appraising eye.

"I understand, people are often willing to turn on their heroes so they can build new ones instead of appreciating the ones they have."

"Exactly." I tell you its a great ego boost to have someone who worships you. I'd recommend it to everyone I know. Now I know what you are thinking, why would I a person who destroys cults not only encourage one who worshipped me, but take on someone from that cult as my apprentice? Because they worship me! See all those other idiots worship the wrong god, if they just worshipped me instead they'd be safe! CONVERT OR DIE CULTISTS!
