The Best Idea I've Come Up With in Recent Times
So. I just had an amazing idea, and I think it's one of the more amazing ideas I've ever had.
How about each of the Divine gets a real honours of their own (sort of like how important mobs have theirs)? For new players, it would provide an immediate 'wow' factor and would hint at the rich history in Aetolia, and for the rest of us it might offer tidbits of insight about the Divine that we didn't already possess.
Seeing 'She was born before time was counted.' is nice and all, but there could be so many other sweet and awesome things in there: betrayal, power, hope, destruction, and so on and so forth. A hint where to find their temple. Alliances/connections to NPC villages. All sorts of fun things!

"She stole the heart of the Muse."
"He orchestrated the Great Artifice."
Fantastic idea!
He is subject to the adoration of the Oleisbian Cult.
@Slyphe:
He literally can't even.
Joking aside, this would be excellent. I think for new players it's another learning curve item to have to remember Who's Who and What they hold sway over. It could also be a point of pride among Orders for use in roleplay, like the custom Honours lines some players got for tether-related awesomeness.
the way she tells me I'm hers and she is mine
open hand or closed fist would be fine
blood as rare and sweet as cherry wine
.... and maybe a few Celani/Producers, too!

Also, @Trigru has the most awesome honours in the world. I saw it and then I started bubbling and glooping.
