<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Haven't read the Percy Jackson series,
but I know that many Olympian gods were especially followed in
certain areas and neglected in others. Athena in Athens is a
standout example, but there were many others. The Olympian
pantheon was really just a mishmash of the all the local cults
after the various cultures climbed out of their particular valleys
and went trading.<br>

<div> David, I hadn't thought about the inherent home court
advantages of shamanistic and divine magic. Interesting point.
However, I may have unintentionally eroded that advantage. My
kids love the Percy Jackson series, so most of the gaming world
follows the Olympian cults and there is heavy reliance on divine
magic. Therefore invaders could bring their priests in tow and
find convenient temples along the way. Hence my interest in
divine spells that only work in certain regions. For example,
spells that would allow Spartans to disperse cavalry charges in
Greece, but not in France. Essentially, putting Mark's point in
the spell book. Does that make sense?</div>
