Human: When you Defy Danger from something related to your deity's domain, take +1.
Invocation
When you call out for your deity's aid in a time of need, choose a Blessing and roll +WIS.
On a 10+, your deity will intervene on your behalf - the GM will tell you how. On a 7-9,
your deity will grant your Blessing, but you will also need to choose a Requirement.
Blessing
• Your invocation manipulates the realm your deity Controls.
• Your invocation commands something your deity Represents.
• Your invocation bolsters your deity's Worshippers.
• Your invocation rebukes your deity's Enemies.
Requirement
• Your invocation is obvious and immediate, drawing attention to you.
• The intervention is subtle or takes a while to manifest.
• Your deity demands something in return. The GM will tell you what.
• The divine experience leaves you dizzy with euphoria (or terror). You take -1 ongoing
to Invoke until you have time to pray quietly for a while.
Divine Ward
When you call upon your deity for protection for yourself or an ally, roll +WIS. On a
10+, grant two of the following effects to the subject of your prayers. On a 7-9, grant one,
and your prayers draw unwanted attention.
• Heal 1d8 damage
• Take +2 Armor forward
• Take +1 forward to Defy Danger
• An approaching enemy is driven back
Lead the Flock
When you preach to a mob, roll +CHA. On a 10+, hold 3. On a 7-9, hold 1. On a miss,
the mob turns on you. Spend your hold 1-for-1 on the following:
• bring people forward and deliver them to you.
• bring forward all their precious things.
• unite and fight for you.
• fall into a frenzy of emotion: joy, sorrow, or rage, as you choose.
• go quietly back to their lives.[/sblock]

After a year and a day of service
the Witching Troll will let Hawthorne see into others' hearts.
Hawthorne is a female human priest of Ushane, the goddess of love, represented by the sea, she who rules us all by the ocean in our blood. Love can be soft or passionate, mad or kind, and her priests are sometimes seen as a bit mad. She's worshiped by nobles, usually young nobles embarking upon passionate affairs, or desperate nobles in feuds. As a representative of a powerful concept of life, she counts all undead as her enemies, and demands the secrets of the heart as her sacrifices.
Hawthorne is a slightly wild woman with sharp eyes, her head shaved quite bald, with the flowing crimson and sapphire robes of her order covering a whipcord thin body. While not strong or particularly bookish, Hawthorne has the wisdom of the sea and the voice of a hundred lovers, and speaks with authority about her experience and her goddess.
