Usok's bear face immediately darkened as he rumbled, "Young Troll, don't think you can act arrogantly in front of me just because you've gained some power."
Corsaro did not respond.
"So you really don't know." Usok snorted. "Berg'yan has already begun plotting to seize your temple. A few days ago, it sent one of its priests to deliver a message, asking me to join forces with it and attack Inhenero together. I haven't agreed yet."
"Oh?" Corsaro's gaze flickered.
Berg'yan, the God of Fire, was one of the most powerful Loa. Its territory lay south of the God-forsaken Land, and its strength was in the first tier among all the Loa. It ranked among the top five and was far more powerful than Usok.

The three Loa in the southern part of the Gullaman Empire were Usok, the God of Strength, and Akunda, the God of Thunder. The two Loa had formed an alliance so that they could resist Berg'yan, the God of Fire.
