* Part Five of our series on Passions and Questors * Passions to the extreme: Briefly revisiting Garlen and Dis * Mynbruje: Passion of Justice, Compassion, Empathy, and Truth * To the extreme: Batman, Judge Dredd * Role of justice in society, breaking or fracturing the social contract. * Justice versus Law * Compassion and nuance; the role of society to provide for members of that society. * Powers: Read minds, ease suffering, perceive obscure clues, travel thoughts from Namegiver to Namegiver. * Roles: Demonstrators, lawyers, journalists, judges, negotiators, counselors, diplomats. * Example: King Solomon; wisdom and understanding. * Often overlooked as a patron of adventurers in their role as troubleshooters and reinforcers of (positive) social order. * Strong associations with Scout, Archer, Troubadour, and Weaponsmith Disciplines due to strong perceptive or community elements. * Discussion devotions and powers provided to Questors of Mynbruje. * Questors and followers of Mynbruje in the game. * Thystonius: Passion of Physical Conflict and Valor * Not a war god * Thystonius versus Floranuus * Elements: Weapons, armor, banners, battlefields * Again, NOT A WAR GOD * Powers: Increased battle prowess, strength, overcoming pain, travel to site of physical conflict. * To the extreme: Treating Thystonius as a “war god”; unsportsmanlike conflict and the “little league parent”, Imperialism * Discussion of devotions and powers provided to Questors of Thystonius. * Questors and followers of Thystonius in the game. * Don’t be afraid to look for subtlety or nuance in Thystonius’s ideals. * Passions don’t play politics, but their questors might.
