Gethlaed is unusual for a Breton from the Kambria region in that he isn't primarily a worshipper of Zenithar, although he still venerates the notions of hard work and honest success he grew up with. It may also be thought unusual that despite being a pure mage, deeply committed to learning the ways of magick and using those powers positively and actively to help the people of Skyrim, he isn't chiefly a Julianos cultist either. By personality and by experience he has found himself drawn to the worship of Mara; She expresses perfectly the approach he tries to take in his journey through the holds and the wilds, namely to act with mercy and compassion (as far as justice and duty allow)*. Before starting any major quest, he journeys to Riften to donate to Her temple and to take Her blessing. The Only exception to this is when he is already under the blessing of another God - if he finds himself away from temples and shrines for so long that his current blessing expires, he will take the blessing of the next God he encounters. He is deeply religious, venerating all of the Nine and respecting each for their qualities; and thus, should he find himself at a shrine of Mara while already blessed by another God, he does not insult that God by cutting their blessing short in favour of Lady Mara's. He believes She would understand and approve of this.
*As usual, Forsworn are exempt from this mercy. They will all die.
