Hinnang

THE GOD OF CULTURE, ART, MUSIC AND SPORTS

ALIGNMENT: NEUTRAL GOOD One of the most favoured and humane of all gods, this god has not, like most other gods, dedicated himself to some sort of activity or goal; no, in the stead, Hinnang notes down and appreciates human culture, and actively promotes it in the world. As such, he is one of the most active gods, and is said to host a series of events called the  Ethyriads  every 3 years, where people gather into the Leonin capital in the Southernlands, and share eachothers cultures, art, play music, and host festivities, and it's all centered around a large sports competition in which the greatest gain great reputation and favour with Hinnang, and obviously, admiration from mortals.

Hinnang doesn't particularly care for godhood, and is too fascinated by mortals to bother learning anything philosophical or magical; he has almost completely adapted to the mortal lifestyle, and is more often than not found sitting around somewhere, or writing something, or observing something in general.

Many people ask for Hinnang's favour, especially during the Ethyriads, and sometimes, depending on the person, Hinnang may yet oblige, in the form of advancement in physique and stamina.



A Jig to Hinnang

Great Hinnang,

As I gaze upon your works of great art,

I see myself somewhat lacking in that regard.

Grant me, only to earn your favour, strength and power,

Enough to win even an Ethyriad.

EFFECTS OF WORSHIP Hinnang doesn't care much for conventional worship, and instead favours artists, poets, singers, and of course, athletes. His blessing is usually earned by actively contributing to the former three, or being a prominent latter.

Stage I

Hinnang has taken note of your accomplishments, and seeks to boost them; if an athlete or else, gain +2 strength and +5 health. If not an athlete, gain +2 charisma and +1 history.

Stage II

Hinnang is impressed with your initiative, and offers you the choice of participating as a champion in the Ethyriad; should you succeed, he will empower you even further, so that as a mortal, you would be like a work of art on your own. Win = +2 to charisma, +2 to strength, +10 to health. If a bard, instead of 10 health, gain +3 health and +2 dexterity, and an ability called Song of My People, which, upon sung, captures everyone's attention in a 50ft radius, and forces them to skip the next turn if in combat. Outside of combat, everyone will praise your skills. This may be used once per day.

Stage III

Hinnang declares you of herculean origin, and empowers you even further; now you have the charm and form of a greek god, and it undeniably impresses everyone around you. You are considered a model of sports and culture in the world. +3 to charisma, +1 to strength, +20 to health. If a bard, gain +3 charisma, +2 dexterity, +5 health.
