• 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.
