Hrm, I dunno. Wouldn't you say Gawain was Violent, Vengeful, and
(somewhat) Merciful? Granted, he's not an Orlanthi. ;-)

That's a bit too like the Orlanth _cult_ virtues to be very interesting
to distinguish, I think. The Religious and Chivalric virtues in
Pendragon don't overlap that much, and there's a fair bit of scope for
different permutations, as opposed to (Orlanthi) "all" Orlanthi men
being Orlanthi, if you see what I mean.

St. Jude of Albany, perhaps? I believe the favoured method of worship
is the ritual pyramid-selling of Mythos cards...
G'dnight,
