Yep, ta.

I did wonder if there were any watery Noble Brothers - or does Helamakt do double-duty in that regard?

I'd gotten the impression that Esrolian politics had "alliances" that supported certain "Husband Protectors" over others so I had thought that perhaps men in Esrolia might be associated with a variety of elemental runes: water for the coastal peoples, fire for the southern peoples, etc.

And: an "Orlanthi" archer god. Neat!
