Description
If Sigdrifa is the Mistress of the Battlefield, Pruite is the Master of the Training Ground. While most soldiers pray to Sigdrifa when the moment of battle is upon them, many career soldiers revere Pruite, worshiping him on a daily basis in their training. You will hear few muttering a prayer to him during the march into battle. Those who do might hear a quiet, sympathetic voice: "I do my work before the battle. Your life is in your own hands now, or Sigdrifa's. Good luck."

Tenants
Pruite's tenets focus heavily on self-improvement, achieving excellence, and team work. His clerics preach that the battle is won not on the field, but in the moment when you and your companions are able to fight in unison. In this regard he and Sigdrifa sometimes clash. Priute is sickened by the delight that Sigdrifa takes in the chaos and bloodshed of the battle and does his best to prepare his followers to prevent disorder when the battle is breached. He wants nothing more than for them to come out alive and would prefer peace. In fact, while there are shrines to him in most barracks, his only temple is in the capital of a nation whose military is so mighty it has not seen war within its borders in nearly a century.

Relationships
Pruite, with his organizational skill, was instrumental in trapping Voddahil, called upon by Sigdrifa to help coordinate the efforts of the many gods. He was little surprised that Yithalin did not take part, considering him entirely without honor, but he was surprised at Ardaxes, for whom he has great respect.

Ren and Yak he respects for their ability to coordinate their efforts. He sometimes studies their movements, hoping to learn something, but he fears that their chaos is ultimately too great to be implemented on a purposeful level of tactics.

Nom he loathes. He has had few personal interactions with her, but he is deeply bitter with the loss of some of his favorite champions to her "heartless machinations." He now pays great attention to his favored worshipers, guarding them from anything he perceives to be the influence of Nom.

Edit: Though Sigdrifa is his superior, Pruite greatly respects Rulcan and would probably turn to his side if compelled to choose between the two. Good leaders, after all, makes wars less frequent and battles more survivable for their followers. He derides the decadence of Earllong and his followers, who do nothing to prepare themselves for the worst. Lao Yu he understands. A warrior must know balance in all things, but he has trouble accepting that things should be allowed to flow without the guidance of heroes. - rorrik
