==Description==
The Gorging-Shrew, if asked, would call himself many things: barterer, glutton, trickster. But above all else, he still feels a strong affinity for mortals. He is a New Gods God born of equal parts deception, yearning, and caution. The Gorging-Shrew ignores the open conflict between the Second City and the Wild Gods, preferring to sate his appetites with theft and corpses.
Having no taste for bloodshed, the Gorging-Shrew seeks to enjoy his immortality to the greatest extent that he can, regularly walking the Mansus in human form and taking full part in the hedonism the Second City has to offer. Despite his seeming lack of ambition, he is crafty and manipulative, always seeking to forge alliances and ensure he is never too closely aligned with either faction in the War that Ever Rages.
===Principles===
The Gorging-Shrew is an Hour of diplomacy, mischief, travelers, and elusion.
==Worship==
Due to his roaming habits, the Gorging-Shrew rarely suffers to stay in one place for very long. Communal worship of the Gorging-Shrew is rare at best. Thus, smaller shrines dedicated to his Name are built along paths in the Contested Zone, called Burrows. Each of these has only been discovered by Frontiersmen in a great time of need, very often pursued by their enemies. What they see is a small room dug out of the dirt, with a table garnished like a king's feast. Offering rest and succor to those in peril, even if their enemies also enter the Burrow, they find themselves strangely unwilling to do violence to their quarry. Even those who do not actively worship the Gorging-Shrew consider it good manners to leave a trinket of some sort as an offering to him, as thanks for his aid.
