Jehora Jeheyu
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 ENDISWAL with you.
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.
