Fharlanghn, the deity of roads, appears as an elderly, weatherbeaten man with deeply wrinkled skin and sparkling eyes. He wears nondescript clothing, usually of leather and unbleached linen. His garments are always travel-stained. He roams the roads and paths of the Material Plane, greeting fellow travelers politely. Fharlanghn is always glad to converse, but not at any great length. Fharlanghn is the patron of all who travel long distances, no matter what path they follow or how they’re getting there.

            Dogma: Fharlanghn insists that people need to move around and experience new things. The state of world is not fixed, and you never know when you might need a new perspective or even a new home. Look to the horizon for inspiration.

Unending Journey

Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim.

Each level of this prayer doubles the subject’s top ground speed. The subject’s multiplied Move is his top speed. This does not affect Basic Speed, Basic Move, or Dodge. Its benefits apply only when moving along a relatively straight, smooth course (see Sprinting, p. B354). However, the effects of this spell end instantly if the subject stops moving, so it is mostly only useful for paced running.

Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Advantage, Unending Journey 1, +200%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Divine, -10%; Extended Duration, 300x, +100%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Requires Magic Words, -10%; Terminal Condition, Stop, -10%) [40]. Notes: Each level of “Unending Journey” is Enhanced Move 1 (Ground; Divine, +0%) [20]. Additional levels add more Unending Journey (+200%) to the advantage [+20].
