struggles against which they can test themselves, and in their success become more than they were before. Worship of Daer-Koch can be
found through-out the world, especially among humans. Daer-Koch is said to be the reborn incarnation of the departed deity called
Karnot. Indeed, most of Karnot's portfolio of influence passed directly unto Daer-Koch. Daer-Koch is a trumpeting call to action,
a bright clarion of inspiration for not just heroes, but for all who struggle to overcome adversity.
Direction of Faith
Smallfolk would cower in awe of a world made from the vision of Daer-Koch. In such a world great legions led by visionary heroes
would clash in mighty battle upon battle. It would be a world of conflict, where every creature that lived would cling strongly to its
beliefs and seek to announce them out loud. The successful among them would bring like minded individuals to their banner and lead
their adherents in conquest. In such a world there would be an unending conflict from which might impossibly arise an ultimate and glorious truth
which would rally all things into a perfect expression of divinity.
