Pulno represents both the calm serenity of gentle waves and the violence of the storm.  It is this latter aspect that a very militaristic wing of his church focuses on.  They maintain a large temple in Tyral, though there is a larger and more peaceful temple of Pulno there (the people of Tyral are rightly concerned with keeping the god of the seas happy).  This sect has no official name and considers itself to be a part of the larger church of Pulno.  The members focus on letting the fury of the storm carry them into battle. The Ironsong is a rapidly growing cult of Turba.  Primarily dwarven, the Ironsong believes that by understanding and controlling their weapons they can bring the favor of Turba--and Turba's gifts--back onto themselves.  The Ironsong is nearly fanatical in its discipline, holding that the end of the Old Wars was not a condemnation of fighting but of wanton slaughter.  The Ironsong has established a small temple in the Districts of Tyral and is currently recruiting new members to bolster its ranks--the leadership hopes to gain a reputation as a reliable group of mercenaries and guards for hire.e) Multiclassing is definitely open.  Be sure to familiarize yourself with the rules on page 208  of the PHB as multiclassing is vastly different in 4e than in previous editions of the game.</blockquote>
