Neither is Urox (one of the "main gods" of Cults of Prax), nor Eurmal (one of the Lightbringers after all), nor any-of-a-number of other "important" gods. But just to set your mind at ease, the Occupation keyword "Carl" and the magic keywords "Barntar", "Orlanth the Farmer", "Uralda Cow-mother" and "Esra Grain Mother" are scheduled to appear in Thunder Rebels (along with Urox and Eurmal and Elmal and an number of others).
It's really a plot to make players pick up *two* books instead of just one. Yeah. That's it.
