Since time immemorial, people of the Realm have worshipped that which they could not explain. The everpresent sun and the twinkling stars were shining examples.
...The Holy Country founded a religion based on a sentient flaming brazier that had burned for centuries.
If an entire nation could rally behind that, it wasn't difficult for Tycon to believe people worshipping anything else.
