Mastakos<br />
Orlanth’s Charioteer<br />
Mastakos is Orlanth’s charioteer and the god <strong>of</strong><br />
Movement. He was kept captive by Magasta in Daliath’s<br />
Well <strong>of</strong> Wisdom until Orlanth freed him. During the<br />
Storm Age, he travelled across the world with Orlanth<br />
and no place was beyond his seven league stride. He is<br />
a planet that crosses the sky faster than any other and<br />
then leaps across the Dome to resume its journey – never<br />
entering the Underworld. He has never faltered once in<br />
his journey except when evil gods hamstrung him for a<br />
time.<br />
Mastakos’ cult is rare and most <strong>of</strong> the members are<br />
Acolytes or Runemasters <strong>of</strong> Orlanth. As such, they wield<br />
considerable power but it is not in Mastakos’ name.<br />
Followers <strong>of</strong> Mastakos are expected to wander and travel<br />
constantly except when employed as charioteer to a king<br />
or chief. Mastakos is depicted as a blue skinned man<br />
driving a chariot pulled by dragonflies or seahorses. His<br />
temples are rare and usually shrines in temples to Orlanth<br />
though a few rare sites where his footsteps exist are sacred<br />
to him alone. Depending on a site, a given shrine may<br />
provide either Teleportation or Guided Teleportation.<br />
Runes: Motion.<br />
Pantheon: Orlanth.<br />
Worshippers: Charioteers, homeless wanderers, Orlanthi<br />
Wind Lords and Storm Voices.<br />
Worshipper’s Duties: Always be on the move, visit new<br />
places, chariot race.<br />

more. Priests <strong>of</strong> Mastakos must give 90% <strong>of</strong> their income<br />

Special Benefits<br />

running, charioteering or leaping. Acolytes may regain<br />
Mastakos Divine Spells at a rate <strong>of</strong> 1 point <strong>of</strong> Magnitude<br />
each day they spend in prayer and sacrifice at any Orlanth<br />

as the spot the spell is sacred to.<br />
