Here's the table from my Gloranthan PenDragon Pass game. (In Pendragon, each religion has 5 virtues; having all 5 at 16+ gives a bonus. There are too many Gloranthan religions for that, but you do have to make 3 of 5 trait rolls to become an initiate or rune level.)

Darkness Pantheon

The source: I bear responsibility for this, but some of these traits were taken from unpublished HeroQuest notes from Sandy Petersen. (I think it was he who suggested the Red Goddess have "moderate" traits.) This dates back to 1987, and I may have different opinions on some of this today.

Note that I prefer to use standardized terms. Lanbril don't think of themselves as cowardly, but they do believe that getting into a fight is stupid. Also note that in different pantheons, the same religion (e.g. Chalana Arroy) can have slightly different virtues. It may even vary from temple to temple.
