I knew this would prove irresistable.

I can see clear justification for all deities to have the mastery rune.

Kastakos has Mastery. I understand he was an army reformer who did some pretty good battling. I see this as a precedent for an interpretation of Mastery-as-Generalship.

Hwarin Dalthippa conquered the Provinces and has the Victory rune which seems more close to the Mastery rune than the Death rune since she subjected them to rule, rather than *just* killed a whole lot of them. The feats in ILH2, regardless of opinions about their incompatibility, are the paramount source so far and they seem more about supremacy and dominance than killing.

So, Mastery.
