Exactly. If the god you are devoted to is not the local god of chiefs, then if you are a chief you are not acting like your god.

> Just think of how some of the practical and pragmatic decisions required by a chief might cause for a Yinkini? (What do you mean "I'm NOT supposed to seduce the other chieftain's daughter? It's a peace conference..."). Or, the problems such a chief might cause for his unfortunate clan if he always followed the god's dictates (as he ought to be doing if he's truly devote). (War! Humakt demands it!)

Exactly. Either the devotee acts like his god and screws over his clan... or doesn't and screws over his relationship with his god.
