Yes, you do :) It is a good book, lots of crunchy bits.

A dozen or so pages I think. Some myths, place in society, holy days, half a dozen sub-cults or so.

No. Some look scarier (sorry couldn't resist). But seriously, they are walking vengence, the scream of denial resulting from crimes that should never have happened. When all the aspects of Ernalda that are normally worshipped (mother, wife, provider, negotiator, healer, leader) slept like death, Babeestor Gor was what was left, all the parts that nobody had worshipped before because until the darkness nobody had needed to. While looking scary probably isn't their foremost desire, it may well be in the top 5, maybe even top 3 (first two are smiting their enemies and _being_ scary). This is another reason that you need Storm Tribe (BF only gets a 2 page write up, but the basics are there. Again, I'm sure in Esrolia they are a little different, but the fundamental nature of the cult won't change much).
