Yeah, I realized this when I checked the reference in Elder Secrets. *sigh* Spotty memory of the Bad Old Days...

Many thanks for this great material! Is this material in the Uz book? Haven't received my copy yet; economic concerns dictated that it take the slow boat from the Wizard's Attic (aka USPS).

Issaries is another of the clan's Popular Gods. Must make them a decent trade center. Very good.

I can't wait for the Uz book to arrive so that I can see what becomes a cult and what becomes a tradition. I was always a very big fan of RQ Uz, and I would love to be able to do them correctly.

Hmmm... Humakt and Vingkot came up as other Popular Gods in the clan. Some rivalry seems likely, especially with one of the pregen PCs worshipping Vingkot Champion. (This is what happens when the narrator is a Trickster...)

This is excellent info! Many, many thanks!
