ADwD 63: Victarion 962

Victarion captures a bunch of ships, in positions all perfectly predicted by Moqorro the red priest. Victarion is getting pretty enamoured with this rather (and unusually, for a god) well-performing red god. But he hasn't given up on his sea-god yet. So when he captures some maidens being trafficked for the sex industry he sends them off on a boat and burns it so they can burn *and* drown and be sacrificed to both gods at once. Nice. Clever, though.

It's not just the predictions. His arm has gone all bionic, too, so he can pick people up by the neck Darth Vader style. Oh, and we also learn that he has Euron's magic horn. It's not just good for winning kingsmoots, it's can seduce dragons, too! So we can see where this is going, as much as we ever can in these books. Oh but he can't blow the horn himself because the blower dies. He's got to become the master of the horn by doing some sort of blood sacrifice, natch.
