misc Sometimes called Gutlächeln, or the great smiling one. Gottkrieg's primary worshippers are goblinkind, who see her as the patron deity of their race; however, Gottkrieg is also a lover of both hardwork and a keen value on friendship and family. She finds herself interested in other races, with a small focus on inujin, a minority of whom worship her. Inujin devotion to Gottkrieg typically is a supplement to their devotion to Fideleo. The most common name for Gottkrieg in Inustan is Gramigo, a mutation of the original Gran Amigo, or great friend. Inujin cooks are especially likely to find themselves fond of the goddess, cooking being a domain falsely attributed to her over time. With so many worshippers creating small prayers or others conventions around cooking, Gottkrieg has taken to giving just a little extra care to the hardworking cooks...and completely neglecting the lazy ones, whom she looks upon with great disdain. Some scattered sects of goblins and other races worship Gottkrieg as the goddess (or god) or warriors. While not a domain of Gottkrieg, if their code of honor suits her and does not conflict with her other domains--specifically, hardwork and valuing friendships and families--then she may listen to and answer these warriors prayers. This doesn't tend to happen very often, as the killing inherent in war is generally pretty damaging to the families and other relationships of the opposing side, and often committed with complete disregard. Thus, not many answered prayers, and resultingly, not many worshippers of this sort. There may, however, be an order or two with a strict enough code of honor for the goddess, or a few new folks who simply don't understand that you can't just take a name out of an ancient text, dub it a "god of war," and hope you get what you want out of it. Both of the "false domains" which have been attributed to Gottkrieg have arisen from the culture of goblinkind, who for time unknown loved to cook and fight.
