* Mynbruje: Passion of Justice, Compassion, Empathy, and Truth

* To the extreme: Batman, Judge Dredd

* Role of justice in society, breaking or fracturing the social contract.

* Justice versus Law

* Compassion and nuance; the role of society to provide for members of that society.

* Powers: Read minds, ease suffering, perceive obscure clues, travel thoughts from Namegiver to Namegiver.

* Roles: Demonstrators, lawyers, journalists, judges, negotiators, counselors, diplomats.

* Example: King Solomon; wisdom and understanding.

* Often overlooked as a patron of adventurers in their role as troubleshooters and reinforcers of (positive) social order.

* Strong associations with Scout, Archer, Troubadour, and Weaponsmith Disciplines due to strong perceptive or community elements.

* Discussion devotions and powers provided to Questors of Mynbruje.

* Questors and followers of Mynbruje in the game.

* Thystonius: Passion of Physical Conflict and Valor

* Not a war god

* Thystonius versus Floranuus

* Elements: Weapons, armor, banners, battlefields

* Again, NOT A WAR GOD

* Powers: Increased battle prowess, strength, overcoming pain, travel to site of physical conflict.

* To the extreme: Treating Thystonius as a “war god”; unsportsmanlike conflict and the “little league parent”, Imperialism

* Discussion of devotions and powers provided to Questors of Thystonius.

* Questors and followers of Thystonius in the game.

* Don’t be afraid to look for subtlety or nuance in Thystonius’s ideals.

* Passions don’t play politics, but their questors might.
