Lois McMaster Bujold:
In the WoFG Universe, you have shown characters who are the saints of the Father, Mother, Daughter, and Bastard. Is there such a thing as a saint of the Son? If so, what are their powers and function?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Good question, which I would probably need a book to stop and work out. Although Inglis, if not a saint, certainly earned his god's attention at the end of "Penric and the Shaman". He also had a cameo in The Hallowed Hunt.
But yes, there should be saints of the son; His turf being comradeship, the hunt, autumn harvest, there should be room to speculate.
"Guardian of young males" tends to be a pretty thankless task, but someone's got to do it. Five gods know they need it. Also a good question where, aside from biological fatherhood, the two gods would have their hand-off of allegiance.
