"If truth can be divine, why not a lie? If a lie can be divine, why is it not true?"

If the church of Delche has ever claimed any singular tenet it is this: there is no one way of seeing the world. Humanity, for example, walks blind to the things that lie in darkness, sees not the magical undercurrents that lie in both the natural and unnatural world around them. If this can be true, can they not also be blind to other truths? Perception frames all creatures concept of reality - thus its importance.

Thus, a worshipper of Delche understands two things - finding the relevant truth when it is hidden, and creating truth when it cannot be found. Because perception IS reality, keen senses are necessary to enjoy and understand the grand mystery of life, and storytelling is the highest form of power in shaping that mystery. If a commoner claims that he is a noble, or a simpleton that he is divine, then by all rights they are both noble and divine for as long as they can keep up the charade. Some claim that Delche himself came into godhood in this fashion.

Of course, lies can be disproven if they are weak enough, and clerics of Delche constantly test each others stories and beliefs in order to craft stronger and stronger "truths". A favorite parable of the church relates how a group of upright clerics tried to prove their own gods existence a myth, only to be carefully shown by the grandmaster of tricksters that they, instead, were a mere childrens story, and never alive in the first place.

Most followers of Delche love to hear themselves talk, and will freely engage in logical contradictions and circular arguments for the sheer joy of it - if they can get away with such outrageous claims, all the better. Music and other arts that create emotion where none previously existed are held in reverence. Clerics of Delche will often craft grand lies merely as an experiment to see if the world might be better suited by a different perception - or if they themselves can benefit. Some clerics of Delche carry as holy symbols a weighted coin or set of dice, as a reminder that with the right tools, one can make his own luck.
