But its always wise to appease the spirits of the land and waste. That is what worship does. And, if you re-read your Pavis and Nomad Gods, it mentions that the Pol Joni were able to force their way into acceptance at the Paps.

On the Issaries website are several notes by Greg on missapplied worship among the Praxians. Specifically Orlanth -- Little Brother helps bring rains and is far more clever than many of the spirits and Death Man (Humakt) who has powerful, terrible spirits which can be used against the clan's enemies.
I suspect that more on the Pol Joni will be appearing -- they are a very interesting mixed worship case. One of the very few among the Heortlings.
