Fortison is a patient god, especially when compared to his sibling war gods, and he encourages that same patience among his followers. His faithful stand strong and wait for the enemy to make a mistake, they trust in the preparations they’ve made. His faithful make constant, patient, effort keeping their defenses ready then strike when their foe is weary.
Fortison, like the other war gods, often butts heads with his siblings. He thinks Aggressa is short-sighted for relying on offense and rushing to battle, and he believes Zaris to be a fool for charging forwards with nothing more than eager bloodlust. And he resents both of them for crushing walls and defenses. For their part, they consider him a dull necessity, or a hindrance to the true glory of combat.
Most of Fortison’s worshipers come from those behind the walls, praying that their defenses hold, and from those on top of them, ready to hold to the last.
