[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 8021489, member: 27957"] When it comes to Maglubiyet, two things stand out to me. One is that while War is his signature domain, he's less a god of battle than he is a god of the military. War, to Maglubiyet, is about ranks of trained soldiers acting as a single disciplined unit, both in peace time and in combat. The other is that Maglubiyet is a god that welcomes converts. Everyone has a place in the ranks of his army, so long as they swear to him and obey his laws. So I would cast Maglubiyet as the god of military expansionism and colonial conquest, one who's always eager to assimilate new peoples under his banner. Forsake your old gods and old ways! Submit willingly or at sword's point, because nothing will stop the advancement of Maglubiyet's chosen. They bring a new order, a better order, where everyone is equal in the eyes of Maglubiyet and rises through the ranks on their own merits. Discipline will be enforced, everyone will be put in their proper place, and you will be better for it. Don't fight it. The superior culture always wins out, and only goblin culture is free of the weakness and corruption you see everywhere else. (Unlike my recast of Gruumsh, this Maglubiyet is still very much in a villain role. It's just one less burdened with racist legacy baggage.) [/QUOTE]
