Octader's divine intervention

Meanwhile, an ever-expanding army of monsters traveled across barren hills, steadily annexing every clan they encountered,rapidly growing their numbers. 

Amid this chaotic horde, one peculiar sight stood out: a massive platform, carried by over a hundred orcs with a statue of a golden tentacle surrounded by countless valuables.

"Our god is protective towards the weak and benevolent to the faithful," Edwyrd, now the new Oracle of Octader, chanted before the platform and the crowd behind repeated his words. Hundreds of monsters approached the platform every second, hesitantly offering their valuables.

However, these gifts merely accumulated, untouched, as the deep gnomes who had crafted the statue were too faithful to steal them for themselves and Octader lacked interest in them.
