## Explanation

Prophets repeatedly discover that ultimate truths—such as the secret of the gods or the meaning of existence—are hidden, faintly written in an unknown tongue, or unknowable, leaving humanity with only ignorance as solace.

The repeated command to 'believe' underscores the inaccessibility of divine truths to mortals, who must accept Kib's sayings without question.

Slid advises praying to small gods, acknowledging that even they may not restrain Time or show mercy, highlighting the uncertainty of divine response.

Limpang-Tung admits he does not understand the deeper scheme of the gods regarding sorrow and death.

The uncertainty of whether dreams or daytime events are real underscores the limits of human understanding, known only to Māna-Yood-Sushāī.
