But if it is Etyries or Deezola who show up to suggest dancing and group hugs rather than cattle-raiding? Issaries might be a great negotiator to bring in to set the bloodgeld, but is it simply that by invoking common gods you are being traditional and appropriate? Much as you can't really complain if your neighbors go berserk or throw thunderbolts at you during the feud. Now, Madness blasts, shades or forces shaped entirely by a sorcerers concentration, those are just evil. Drew
