Their gods don't expect them to get into fights (well, at least not with swords - Financial manipulation and hostile takeovers, or academic bunfights are another matter). These gods are *not* interested in combat (it's bad for business/disrupts study). There have been many shifts in emphasis between RQ and HW, one is the de-emphasizing of combat (physical or magical) as "how to get your way". RQ borrowed much from D&D for "roleplaying", where the rules were written with an eye towards combat rather than "peaceful resolution" (take a look at the space dedicated to hurting things and that for other skills). With HW we have tried to tone down the "Violence is always an option" and tried more for "there is always another way". Part of that is removing a lot of "offensive magic" from the cults.

Issaries does have a bit more adventuresome subcults, but LM doesn't. (more to be revealed in Storm Tribe...)

The diceiest proposition, it's not something that a god will look favorably upon.
