I would guess that the nature of the spells the City God gets
would depend on the nature of the city's founding Hero. Since Pavis dealt
with a diverse assortment of peoples the cultist get an unusual assortment of
spells, but I would guess that most city cults would get a few spells that
their founder used/acquired or perhaps even invented.
"Guess" is the operative word here; I'm not an RQ Sage Lord, alas.
Have any City or regional deities been developed other than Pavis?
