Hi!
As a follow up, why did Storm Bull lose the death rune? (IIRC, he taught his people the power of death by using his horns of iron to slay Ragnaglar [paraphrase]). Is it simply a game convention -- he is not a major deity, so he only gets two runes, and air and eternal battle were more appropriate?
Thanks,
David.
