Jehora Jeheyu, the mad god of primordial chaos, is an unsolvable enigma. He grants power and punishment in equal measures, depending on how amused or bored he is at the time. He is one of the most balanced gods in terms of the benefits he grants from his boons, and works well with almost any type of character.

Jehora is unlocked from a subdungeon with 25 unique imps in it. Once the altar is touched, a maze is generated that hinders the passage back, so bring {{s|ENDISWAL}} with you.

== Piety Gain Mechanics ==
JJ performs a piety/punish roll on the following actions:
* Enemy reveal (non-plants only)
* Enemy death (XP-valuable only)
* Successful dodging
* Item conversion
* Casting the following: BYSEPPS, WONAFYT, WEYTWUT, GETINDARE, APHEELSIK, CYDSTEPP

This roll picks a random integer from 1-15, which is compared to an internal "happiness value" for the god which starts at 14. If the rolled number is less than or equal to JJ's happiness, 2-4 piety will be granted and JJ's internal happiness value will be decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 5).

If the rolled number is higher, a minor punishment is inflicted and JJ's happiness increases by 2 (to a maximum of 14 again).

The minor punishments are determined by another roll, from 0 to 10.
*0 = poison
*1 = burn
*2 = health loss
*3-5 = weaken
*6-8 = corrode
*9-10 = curse

This is where it gets a little trickier to describe: each status ailment now has a "reroll threshold", and if the punishment roll lands on an ailment with a threshold that's too high, it rerolls instead of inflicting that punishment. All thresholds start at 0 (except health loss and burn, which start more graciously at 1). The threshold number represents the minimum number of RNG rolls needed in any given punishment check before that particular punishment is available.

Thus -- given starting values as an example -- if the first roll lands on health loss, it will force a reroll. That reroll is then at liberty to inflict health loss OR mana burn. If any ailments exist at a threshold of 2 or more, on the other hand, those are exempt for at least one more RNG.

Whenever a particular punishment is successfully inflicted, that punishment's threshold will permanently increase by 1.

== Strategy ==

Jehora is actually much less threatening than he appears, but you must move to acquire the petition boon as early as possible. The weakening punishment in particular can cripple a low-level character, and avoiding taking too many penalties is important. If you're both poisoned and mana burned, it can become very difficult to survive. The burn cure and fortitude potions are both very useful for followers of Jehora Jeheyu.

Jehora's strategy is rather simple: Survive his random punishments for long enough to get Petition, then climb to Avatar of Chaos while picking up health and mana boosts along the way. If you get him early enough, you're likely to still have enough piety to change deities for the endgame or use his other boons.

Jehora Jeheyu's "boost mana" and "boost health" boons are two of the most powerful boons in the game. Boost health, particularly at lower levels, can vastly increase a character's durability and allow him to fight monsters he normally wouldn't stand a chance against. Boost mana enables you to play like an elf, using more elaborate spellcasting combos with a more generous mana pool. The loss of potions isn't as bad as it first appears; because potions grant benefits based on a % of your maximum health and mana, your remaining potions will actually become more powerful. If you combine with a schadenfreude potion and use boost mana sparingly, it's actually possible to come out ahead in terms of how much MP you get from your remaining potions!

Gnomes and Halflings make particularly good worshippers of Jehora Jeheyu since they have more potions to begin with and can more easily afford to sacrifice them. Rogues benefit enormously from the boost health boon, and at low-levels there is no better deity for a rogue to worship. The free WEYTWUT glyph also works well for rogues, who need a way to bypass monster first strike. Elves also work well with Jehora Jeheyu; though they lose out more than other races from the loss of mana potions, the absolutely massive amount of mana that an elf worshipper can accumulate makes them insanely good spellcasters. Raising your maximum mana above 30 is quite easy for an elven worshipper of Jehora Jeheyu.

Jehora's greatest strength comes when you use Chaos Avatar and/or Last Chance. These boons fully restore your health and mana when used, and if you've been using his other boons you'll have that much more health and mana to re-fill. Followers of Jehora Jeheyu can be terrifying engines of destruction in the end-game, and the broad range of bonuses provided by this deity often makes for some of the most powerful hybrid characters possible.

Warlords, Rogues, Assassins, and Wizards make the best worshippers of Jehora Jeheyu, though any class will benefit from him.

'''Binlor Ironshield''' is the god of mining. He is found in a subdungeon with an ENDISWAL glyph. Once you mine a few walls, you reach some gold. '''Don't fall for it''' it, keep mining to reach his altar.

== Strategy ==

There are two main strategies with Binlor. You can either stay with him, which is only to be done if there are no other gods to convert off to, or the optimal strategy of using him as a piety farm. If you decide to stay with him, just keep using boons to pump magic resistance, the best boon being stone heart, and destroy walls to negate the level up penalties. Save some piety for the endgame. When you're fighting the boss, use stone skin before every hit. This is especially nice if you already have stone form as it will give you resists and might. If you are going to convert off, rack up 100 piety, take 5-10 stone hearts to kill monster resistances, and then rack back up 100 to convert in. Remember, if you are in a level without a lot of walls, don't use too many stone hearts as you might run out of walls to convert.

With {{s|BLUDTUPOWA}} or {{i|Rock Heart}} at your disposal, Binlor can generate absolutely massive quantities of piety. In fact, you're more likely to run out of walls to destroy than anything else.

Binlor also has a strong synergy with attacks that cause knockback, such as if your character is a Half-Dragon or has a Bear Mace. With Stone Form and Stone Fist, every attack in which you can bash the target into a wall will give you Might, piety, and a large amount of knockback damage in addition to your normal attack damage, and the resistances you get from Binlor (or just from destroying walls with {{s|ENDISWAL}}) will help you survive any retaliation. If you take this approach, it's a good idea not to take too many boons from Binlor so that you have enough walls left for your knockback strategy.

If you plan on staying with Binlor, desecrating a Mystera altar is usually well worth the negatives. Since Binlor's only chance of punishing you is a -10 on level up, you effectively earn +55 piety on any desecration. Mystera's punishment is 15% resistances to all enemies, and you can nullify this with 3 uses of Stone Heart (while beefing up your magic resist by 9%). Just make sure you have enough walls to compensate, and that you're not already at a high enough level to waste the punishment invulnerability.

== Punishment ==
Binlor removes all your resistances when you desecrate his alter or otherwise anger him. For characters without resistances, this means Binlor can be angered or desecrated freely and he is incapable of actually punishing you. While there are a few cases of characters that can ignore a deity's punishment, this is the only one that actually comes up with any frequency in practice.

The Earthmother is the goddess of nature and plants, and doesn't enjoy heroes cutting a safari-style path through her precious flora. The Earthmother is one of the most straightforward deities in the game to please, and in practice the one of the few which you can reliably go the entire game without ever incurring any penalty to piety. However, her boons are mostly useful to low-level characters and of little help to high-level characters, meaning most players will opt to convert out at a certain point.

The Earthmother is uncovered in a subdungeon to the South. Her subdungeon is completely revealed, filled with plants and level 9 "gardeners". Cut your way across the room to her altar to unlock her.

== Strategy ==
The only two acts that anger the Earthmother are destroying plant life and using the life-steal ability. The only act that pleases her is using {{s|IMAWAL}} (you can also use the plantation boon to gain piety). This makes her fairly easy to play; petrify stuff to gain piety, and leave her plants alone. Since most dungeons don't have any plants to begin with, and the Earthmother does not create very many, it's unlikely you will ever have serious issues before the time comes to convert out.

The Earthmother's best boon is entanglement, slowing every monster on-screen. Slowed monsters lose their first strike benefits, and also grant 1 extra XP when killed. For a mere 5 piety, this is a very good boon and one that you should almost always take.

Her vine form boon is quite useful for low-level characters, granting extra hit points and damage reduction. Against low-damage monsters such as meatmen, this can allow you to fight enemies three or four levels higher than yourself. However, these benefits do not scale with your level and they will be largely meaningless by the time you're level 10. Investing too heavily in vine form is not a very good idea.

The greenblood boon is more difficult to leverage, but can be somewhat useful in some circumstances. Corrosion ignores resistances, and works best when combined with attacks that deal low damage, such as knockback, fireballs, and monk attacks. However, the cost of greenblood increases rapidly so it's seldom worth purchasing more than a few levels.

The clearance boon allows you to request the Earthmother remove plants for you while simultaneously restoring some mana. This makes the Earthmother invaluable for fuelling a late-game spellcasting approach. Because her bonus doesn't scale based on max mana, it's most useful to characters with poor spellcaster skills who need a little bit of a boost in that regard. Dedicated spellcasters are better suited to pursuing other more potent combos, but will still benefit from this given the opportunity.

The plantation boon can be used to generate large sums of piety, and is particularly useful when converting into the Earthmother during the end-game. Keep in mind that using this boon will effectively preclude a conversion into {{g|Dracul}}, since those blood pools will no longer be available for him. If you intend to make such a conversion at some point, avoid plantation.

The Earthmother grants 5 piety for petrifying plants and other non-XP enemies, and 10 piety for petrifying XP-yielding enemies. Try to focus on using this glyph on 1st level monsters and avoid touching higher-level targets that could be worth lots of XP.

The general strategy with the Earthmother is to use a variety of her boons at a low cost, then either use IMAWAL or plantation to build up to 100 piety, activate the entanglement boon, and convert out of her religion. Converting into the Earthmother to use plantation and then spend your piety on clearance is a great "last-ditch" move, though typically less powerful than what can be done with the {{g|Glowing Guardian}} or {{g|Dracul}}. The Earthmother also makes a good "escape deity" choice if you just want to avoid taking further piety punishments. If there are no plants on the field and you don't have a life-steal ability, she will never punish you.

The Earthmother also has the least harmful desecration penalty on her altar, causing a mere 5 layers of corrosion. You can cure this with a burn cure potion, and it's not going to be a huge deal for a higher-level character anyway. This makes her pretty much the only deity who is routinely desecrated immediately after converting out, and one of the most frequent victims of desecration of any deity.
