Alright, Eolus was added in as the God of Light and Redemption, as an Aspect of Order.

I also added Milius, God of Luck, Unpredictability, and Good Fortune, Aspect of Chaos.
Though I probably should have asked this earlier, are particularly faithful individuals of a deity able to receive some measure of their divine power? You know, like Clerics and Paladins sort of deal? I am Inferi.

What sort of martial arts would suit a werewolf of the tropics? I was thinking along the lines of capoeira, Muay Thai and particularly engolo, an African art that utilises hands on the ground as well as feet.

This came after a bit of research into it after watching Bloodsport a while ago. The traditions of engolo go that the body fights standing on its feet, while the spirit fights standing on its hands. Some engolo fighters actually do combat with both hands and feet at the ground, sometimes alternating, and I figured this would suit werewolves quite well, as well as heightening their senses and/or tapping into their spirits to gain new powers. What do you guys think? Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

Sort of. But they only do so for individuals of extreme prominence. For example, if you start a rebellion, Yisu may give you some of her power to give you that fighting edge, and also let everyone know you have your blessing. If you're a ruthless politician scheming your way to a throne, Arenar may lend you a hand. Prominent military leaders can be blessed by either Rorak or Zhang, depending on their ability, how their treat their men, and their conduct on the field of battle.

As for everyday Paladins and Clerics... their power doesn't come directly from the gods. Healing, wards, light magic, etc. can be taught to anyone like any form of magic. However, most people assume it comes from the gods, which is why it is mostly priests and paladins who use it. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Two new gods. These ones so dangerous they had to be sealed away.

Orito: God of Darkness, Outcasts, and Curses. Formerly a Drow.
Ghoa: Goddess of Vengeance, Wrath, and Destruction. Formerly a Centaur. Sealed Away.

Edit: Okay, I changed it so that Orito wasn't sealed away.

Ghoa, on the other hand, was a loose cannon, and almost completely insane.

Edit2: Next god is going to be the God of Creativity and Expression. Just need to think of a name and race. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Damn... There goes my idea for a Palaadin of Eolus...

No no, you can still be a Paladin. His magic just won't come directly from Eolus.

In fact, I was actually thinking of a paladin order dedicated to Eolus. Disgraced warriors and clerics given a shot at redemption by serving the church as warrior-priests. With a few non-disgraced Paladins to keep them in line and serve as an example to follow. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Yeah I get I could still do it, the issue is that it doesn't really feel Paladin-y when the magic has nothing to do with the God.

I could stride on into a village and some dude can be like "Yo, you can do light maagic too? Cool, we've got fifty in town already". I am Inferi.

What would Yisu think of someone who was falsely imprisoned, got slaves and prisoners to their side, caused a mass riot which freed everyone being held and eventually managed to create a vigilante order which made well-organised sieges and assaults against specific hierarchies? The order would treat each other as family, and recruit by offering the downtrodden a place and people they can call home.

And they would be friendly to most people, offering them a stay for the night, only really attacking tyrants, slave traders, basically anyone treading people into the dirt. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!
