[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8420119, member: 23751"] Not few does not automatically = many. Some is more than few. But again, more than a few does not equate to many. And clerics, even many of them, are still a very small number. No god has thousands and thousands of clerics. Many clerics is just a few hundred at most. Hextor is the only war god. He'd have warriors praying to him for victory in just about every battle. They wouldn't be Hextor church goers, but they would believe and pray to him as a war god, just as sailors sacrifice to placate sea gods who are mercurial or cruel. On the other hand, Iuz is only pain and oppression and other than a few insane individuals, nobody is going to pray for that. Inside his borders they are going to know it is futile to pray to him to lift the pain and oppression, so that sort of worship is not going to happen, either. Nerull as the only god of death gets the prayers to let loved ones hang on longer, etc. He will have a small hard core crowd, but he gets lots of belief and prayers by the non-evil folk who don't go to churches or want people killed. Incabulos would again receive lots of prayers to lift the famines and illnesses that abound around the world. Placating prayers that we know that Iuz does not get, because, "[I]Few creatures beyond the boundaries of this domain will speak his [ie Iuz's] name, let alone adore him."[/I] You guys have yet to show that any major number of people within his Empire worship him.
