That was in my mind when I wrote the Gerlant spells for HQ,
following Abiding Book terminology -- but also because of the
magical ecology at work, in that the main enemies the Esvulari face
(Orlanthi, Wolf Pirates, etc) ate theist. I'm sure that if all of a
sudden the Praxian started making major coastal incursions, they
would re/discover Sear Heathen...
