Eurmal

Eurmal goes by many names and many shapes. He is

Eurmal goes by many names and many shapes. He is a liar, a shapeshifter, a joker, a murderer, an innocent victim, a ravenous glutton, usually insatiably selfish but occasionally touchingly generous. He is a paradox and a mystery, too shallow to be real, and yet he is one of the Seven Lightbringers.

His worshipers are ill-mannered, gluttonous, and selfish in every way. They are vagabonds, drunkards, madmen, outcasts, and thieves. The Eurmal cult is an illusion. It does not exist in any formalized sense. Each Eurmal shrine is a separate subcult. Each shrine or minor temple operates completely independently.

Trickster spirits can be summoned and worshiped by shamans for spirit cults. The Trickster is one of the most common and widespread spirit cults in existence. Most tribes only know how to summon one or two types of trickster spirit.

Paradoxically, Eurmal’s many shrines work in unofficial harmony, for an initiate can get Rune spells and replenish Rune points from any shrine. However, the wide distance between temples permits only well-traveled tricksters to carry a wide array of spells.
