Basically everything that happens in Alara block is Nicol Bolas’ fault. 

This is exactly what I mean. Whenever I talk to a card I’m just talking to the card. Sure it could be turned into a direct link to the Real Deal but in general nah, a card spirit is in and of itself its own little entity. 

So I don’t know of any examples of it but I’m admittedly not as widely read as I could be due to language barriers and much of the more obscure sources being untranslated and difficult to obtain when you live in the country. However, I would guess that he was as evidence of forms of hero cultus can be found. The best example of this is Weland/Volundr the smith. Not only does he have stories about him but he also had shrine spaces where people would go to him and offer coins to have their horses’ shoes repaired. Furthermore, in some areas of Scandinavia, the gods were pretty much human. In Sweden there’s a myth of Odin dying with no connection to ragnarok. Freyr was viewed as a king and hero. Kings especially became divine and remembered in kennings and poetry. Great warriors and deeds were in a sense deified and continuously worshiped. Children were named after them just like people named children after gods hoping they would receive protection and virtues from their namesakes. So while I don’t know of a specific example I’m pretty sure Sigurd would have been invoked and it would be historically in line with traditions to do so yourself if you wanted to.

I know the smart answer is sleep. I just. -sighs- my focus has been shot lately due to allergies and allergy medications. Hence why this is actually a dilemma for me.
