I'm totally fine with straying from the formula, as long as you ask! which you did! I was thinking a god who works directly can better influence his people. Instead of having to work indirectly through priests and such.
And onto the dwarves, like runes and such for their works? I think that'd be fine, instead of being as potent as a normal mages it can be reduced and do you want to use heroes or no?
@Willy VerebIs there a better way things can be suited to you? I don't expect this to be very fast paced haha.
