Elin:Yevan of Strife: Difference between revisions

Yevan, the [[Elin:Gods|god]] who presides over war, is known as an oddity among deities for his lack of interest in divine squabbles and his focus on engaging with the mortal world instead. Viewing conflict as the driving force between life's evolution and harmony, he finds the endless struggles and ravages of war amongst humans to be supremely delightful. Often seen in simple robes at the aftermath of battles, his polite demeanor belies his penchant for ominous statements, making him considered as dangerous as Opartos(sic) amongst the gods.

Yevan worshippers are made to deal with swarms of weaker enemies - his initial god perk increases a player's physical damage in stages as the player kills creatures, with more kills required for each level; the initial effect is an additional 1d3 damage at level 1, increasing to 1d5 at level 2, 1d7 at level 3, 1d9 at level 4, and 1d11 at level 5. As a rough guide, the bonus of the Flame of the Strife will give you about level 1 to 2 in a raid on an outdoor map, and about level 3 to 5 in a multi-floor Nefia search.When the player ceases killing, the buff gradually decreases back to nothing. It's possible to kill friendly creatures to increase the kill counter in case there aren't any enemies around.

The militant, Yevan's god pet, increases the strength, dexterity and perception of all allies in proportion to how many enemies are currently on the map. He is a dedicated support unit made to bolster frontline melee fighters and cure critical wounds, and ideally should be ridden or hosted in order to allow him to safely exercise his abilities as he has increased potentials in a wide variety of melee weapons. If the militant dies, all stat bonuses from his presence are immediately lost. His frontline conductor's feat increases in effectiveness with the number of owners, so it is effective when he fights alongside '''[[Elin:Eureka|Eureka]]''' or other militants.

Gaining Yevan's piety is somewhat difficult. He accepts long swords, axes, and any kind body armour as offerings, and you can craft and offer a stone breastplate, but this alone will tend to be insufficient in terms of resources. As a follower of Yevan, you may need to go to Nefia and collect heavy metal equipments.
