Since we are speaking of the Pthumerians, be wary of the patrons. I would not say hate them, or even fear them. They aren't necessarily malicious. However, they are alien in the way that they think of all things. They do not view this world as mortals do, but as immortals. Their comprehensions of the concerns that something that has a finite lifespan experiences are ... not wonderful.

So always be wary that, if someone tells you a pthumerian is patron of a certain thing? When they rise to prominence in the year, you may experience all forms of that thing, the good and the bad.
