Jeff sez that to write a good cult write-up, you should:

And, perhaps, 4) why have rules for [Deezola] worship been written unlike those for any other published cult. (All Rune Priests are former Rune Lords. All Rune levels hold some kind of military rank. Zero-base skills start at INT+3D4%. Key cult magics come only from associates. Cultists of this non-martial deity get a weapon gift most Orlanthi barbarians would *love*. Etc. Etc.).

BTW, I must correct myself:

Foolishly, I omitted to note that it's also unlikely Yanafal Tarnils "organised the Quest". Glad nobody else caught that!
