The Tactician
“Run, try and catch up. No matter how large your stride, how frequent your step, the Great Strategist will always be two steps ahead.”
Strategy and courage, the foremost values of the Tactician. Followers of this deity do best to earn victory through creativity and unorthodoxy, for not at all of the best solutions are straight-forward. The ideal worshipper understands the arts of war, subterfuge, and subtlety alike.
The Tactician’s Faithful are master strategists, filling any role of blade and tongue alike. They typically use means of misdirection and recognition to achieve victory.
