Right. Now, I suppose you can argue that the reading of all three runes is where people pick the god, but the HQ2 rules (I haven't read S:KoH yet) seem to imply quite strongly that your runes don't in fact define the god you have necessarily.

No, and I am quite fond of that interpretation.

LOL! Fair enough.
I still think that while most cultures are likely to view it as "This
God has marked you", others won't. For instance, I could see anywhere in
the West as likely to refer to it by Rune instead. (Although some might
go by Saint.)
