Church of Thyatis is defunct. Chief Thyatian immortals are Vanya, Asterius, Valerias, Tarastia. Adopted immortals mainly worshipped in the colonies include Diulanna, Halav, Ilsundal, Kagyar, Korotiku, Koryis, Odin, Protius & Thor (according to Aaron Allston in Dawn of the Emperors). > those of the Church of Karameikos? Asterius is the chief immortal, others include Vanya, Valerias, Tarastia, Kagyar & Ilsundal (according to Bruce Heard in Dragon #166) Cheers _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Apr 2002 02:44:36 +0000 From: adrian mattias Subject: Re: Eusdria: population and military Have you worked up any war machine stats for these?
