Divine Cults
16
of a divine companion occupying a sacred object, they
have an INT of 2D6+6 and a POW of 3D6.
Divine companions are always considered to be initiates
of the cult and may sacrifice for Divine Magic just
as a regular initiate. They cannot become acolytes,
Runepriests or Runelords. They cannot join any other
cult nor learn any magic other than that allowed by their
cult. Should their mortal companion leave the cult, they
depart immediately.
Divine companions are permanently in an unlimited range
Mindlink (see RuneQuest Companion, page 20) with
their mortal counterpart. Each can see through the other’s
senses provided they make a concentration roll of INT x
3. Each can cast spells through the other with a successful
Persistence test at any distance but they may also cast
spells upon each other without such restrictions.
No one may have more than one divine companion at a
time. Should a divine companion be killed or destroyed,
the mortal companion may attempt to gain a new one as
noted above.
Argan Argar
God of Surface Darkness, Troll god of Trade
Argan Argar is a son of Xentha, the night goddess. He led
many trolls during the Darkness after they were driven to
the Surface. His cult acts as a mediator between trolls and
surface folk. His cult performs many important functions
for trolls unavailable elsewhere including such amenities
as languages, trade and coinage. He is worshipped by
those trolls who must deal with outsiders and by humans
who must deal with trolls. Through his marriage to
Esrola, the Grain Goddess, he is one of the few Darkness
deities friendly to the Earth.
The cult was widespread during the First Age and during
the Stygian Autarchy but has declined in power since
then. His worshippers train trollkin with spears for use
in military units, which has proved a profitable exercise.
Only Old One, the son of Argan Argar and Esrolia, is the
most famous of his worshippers. He has ruled Kethaela
since the Dawn and maintains uneasy neutrality between
the powerful EWF and the Middle Sea Empire. Argan
Argar is depicted as a dark troll with large eyes, holding

Temples in neighbouring lands are usually only shrines.
