The more faithful worshippers usually had some personal reason to worship—the most common reason being their own injuries. About four out of ten of the worshippers were barbarians that suffered from heavy injuries that prevented them from going into battle. Three out of ten had some chronic illness that tormented their physical wellbeing constantly. The remaining three were mostly faithful because of the way they were raised. Having learned about the importance of the god of war from an early age, they were naturally devoted to regular worship.
Four injured barbarians felt a strange power healing their injuries as the strange golden light surrounded them. Their bodies were supposed to be destroyed, but the golden essence revitalized them like rain on barren land. Three of the sick ones became healthy again. The other three felt a lot less tired and less disturbed from whatever they were eating.
