+== Strategy ==
 For most characters, following Binlor will usually only yield the Hardiness boon over the course of a game. Still, between that and the slow rate of piety loss for spells, even characters who sparingly use magic can make good use of Binlor if no better option exists. Pure casters, like wizards and bloodmages, should still avoid Binlor, as Hardiness lacks as much benefit. Mining is almost completely useless, seeing as it destroys walls (which you can gain get around with glyphs) but grants you no rewards, such as piety for each wall destroyed or the transmuter's healing ability. The true barometer for whether a class is effective under Binlor is how easily they can gain enough piety for Heroics early enough to make good use of it. This means both worshipping Binlor early and making frequent use of ENDISWAL, which is a course of action best suited to pure melee classes, who wouldn't need the mana spent on ENDISWAL anyway. Due to transmuters and half-dragons regularly destroying walls, they both are uniquely suited to following Binlor.
