Delight is to him- a far, far upward, and inward delight- who against the proud gods and commodores of this earth, ever stands forth his own inexorable self.

ewan, Rardi obviously thinks these 5 men are abusing of their positions as militia. That is going to happen a lot around Marsember.

more stuff on gods-
Bane slew Torm in a great battle outside the city of Tantras on Eleasias 13, 1358. Torm appears to have been truly destroyed, and his followers receive no spells. All attempts to revive of contact the fallen god have utterly failed. Most of Torm's clerics and paladins have since converted to the service of Tyr, though some favor Helm or Lathander.
Moander defeated multiple attempts by mortals to kill him, and the Dread God remains active in the Realms.
Tymora and Beshaba –a heresy joining two has grown in power and popularity within Cormyr. There is considerable tension over this in many cities, most notably in Arabel.
Gilgeam of Unther defeated Tiamat once during the Godswar, and once again afterward. The second time, Gilgeam banished the Dragon-Mother to her home plane.
Gilgeam remains the ruler of Unther. Recently, a change has come over the tyrant-demigod, and he seems less interested in oppressing his people and more in expanding his powerbase.
Cyric was a mortal man who claimed to be the Prophet and Successor of Bane. He was slain and his followers harshly repressed by the Zhents and the Church of Bane.
