a decade or so of living in Sharlayan means that Lucent's picked up a lot of language related to its patron god, some more colorful than others

Lucent: "Well, the river of knowledge only flows forward and all that... I may not be able to change the past, but it's still my responsibility as a Sharlayan and a sage to help those who [redacted NPC] harmed in the present."
Lucent: "By Thaliak's naked thighs--"
someone: "Lucent, must you use such irreverent--"
Lucent: "BY THE SCHOLAR'S TITS!!!"
