Mark, I think you did the research on small color printing runs, and it's not that cheap.

I think I could get decent rates if you could live with an 8.5*11 inch reproduction.

I agree. I think the God Learners were right, and that Urox and Storm Bull are in fact the same entity. (We know Kyger Litor can be worshipped several ways, why not Storm Bull?)

It's true there are rules for Misapplied Worship, and I don't think these are necessarily invalid per se, but I think it would be possible to transcend this. Note how sacrifice to a great spirit is almost considered OK. Great spirits verge into being gods in my opinion -- and they are often presented as such by outsiders (e.g. all the spirits of the Grazers).
