Though the rest of this message was also good stuff, I'd like to add that
the Torvald cult now counts as misapplied worship (according to the
conversion notes http://www.glorantha.com/support/HQConversion_1310.html),
so this isn't going as easy on him as it could. A misapplied worship,
spirit knowledge LM subcult will put a kink in the character's acquisition
of ability (hp costs for acquiring and raising magical abilities).
