Not even what we think of as the &#8220;rules of  nature,&#8221; even those are inaccurate and can\/should be broken (this is  why Divine Tricksters are often bisexual and\/or gender fluid, etc &#8211; the very existence of the Divine Trickster forces you to challenge your  assumptions about the world). They would drive people to question authoritarianism and absolutes. The Trickster also often fulfills the  role of The Adversary, keeping the Divine Authority in check and  disallowing them from taking their power for granted. This is why the  role of the Divine Trickster is very important and revered in a pantheon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was also confronted with the  fact that my Nerevarine is essentially another Living Godsona of myself and wondered how I would differentiate this one from her, but uuuuh&#8230; I didn&#8217;t.
