But, Will, that never happened. Sure, the belief that they did this gives their priests magical power, but actually they're unrelated gods whose mythology was stitched together by God Learners. None of those events happened in that way, even though the Mostali *are* apparently friendly to them in "real life".
Excuse me, I have to go wash this bad taste out of my mouth now.
More seriously, the Holy Twins are a very local religion and wouldn't be worshipped by smiths outside of a very small volcanic region of Kethaela.

Unless you count Asoka, of course. Granted, that is not "particularly" bloody.

Yes, but can your kids heroquest and retroactively turn you into a hard-drinking, cigar smoking prizefighter? - --
