COTL HC: Despite losing all divine power, Narinder is still able to accurately predict when a follower will die.
It's not anything supernatural, it's just due to Narinder's line of work back when he was still a bishop; he learned to recognize the smell of organ failure.

I've seen many people that portray them as the deity with a mindset of "they will devote themselves if feared", since, as it says in game, Shamura is a deity of war.
Yet it's clear that many (not all!) people that give Shamura this trait never actually felt a fear of the war. And, talking from a little experience, this fear will lead as many people to dissent, as some will devote. Yes, dissenters won't reveal themselves, but still, they aren't giving devotion, therefore, in a CotL mechanic, they won't give you any bonuses.
And Shamura is also wise, as far as we know, so even if they had a 'phase' of scaring their own people into devotion, they soon saw that it's not as effective as it could've been. The one that takes part in a war, knows that it's the peace after it that matters (we're not talking about mentally ill people). They don't need a beautiful picture of people acting happy and content, they need the useful outcome in magic and power.
So, what do they do? Making their settlement(?) a shelter.
Poor souls, affected by the war, search for a place to be safe, and Shamura is the one that provides it. But to keep your home safe you still need an army, and creatures, that hide in the kingdom(if talking about many years in the future), want to keep their families and friends safe, so they go as volunteers, making the shelter as safe as possible for future generations.
Yet it doesn't mean that the shelter won't get attacked at all. Other gods declared war to Shamura first, either for territory or to get more people in THEIR armies, but then got wiped out by Shamura and/or their army. You can see a lot of weapons and silk traps in a Silk Cradle biome background, showing that many were slain, and the more Shamura was winning → the safer their shelter was turning → the more people joining them and devoting themselves → the stronger the army and Shamura themselves were getting → more winning, and etc, etc.
Narinder knows how to whistle, he learned this because as kits Aym and Baal would get the zoomies a lot and would get lost in the 𝓕𝓞𝓡𝓑𝓘𝓓𝓓𝓔𝓝 𝓩𝓞𝓝𝓔 and since Narinder can't really move he started to chirp if they got too far and tho slowly evolved into whistling because that was more effective
Fleece of the berserker:The lamb becomes a heavily angry, always complaint and screaming and getting upset
Fleece of fervor's favor: the lamb becomes way more lovey dovey and starts hugging everyone, narinder is hounded by kisses everytime this fleece is worn
Fleece of the hobbled heels:the lamb gains more of an impatient personality, running around and getting things done without any stop, they also lose a large sense of boundaries just to sell the speedster type personality
God of death fleece: thus fleece is alot weirder because of its connection to narinder, the lamb acts 100% mire like narinder and has a special connection with narinder, sharing senses and thoughts,narinder hates this one and it's only ever used when they go crusading together
My new hc for the goat is that they were sent by the mystic seller to aid lamb and keep them company after lamb started to regret becoming god, sending a impersonation of lamb's dead friend to stop lamb of being suspicious of the goat

One wonders if a follower could feel resentment for being given a loyalty necklace.
"You do not trust that I would remain faithful naturally?"
They cannot dissent, the necklace makes it so, but that does not stop them from brooding. That does not stop them from thinking. That does not stop their mind from twisting.
They will not dissent. The necklace makes it so.
But what mutated ideas of loyalty might spawn from their mind given long enough to fester?
Kallamar, The Pestilence Bishop of The Blue Crown in Anchordeep!
Here’s some Kallamar Headcanons!
Before Being Indoctrinated:
🦑 • Kallamar knows how to expertly wield all weapons. It’s concerning how many he owns at his temple
🦑 • Tends to throw his followers and the other Bishops under the bus and judges every one of their actions
🦑 • His temple is extremely tidy, crystals lined up everywhere and very decorative
🦑 • Kallamar rewards his loyal followers more than just the promise of long and healthy lives, he actually listens to their input during sermons and takes their advice, having more respect for them
🦑 • In the presence of his other siblings he is less inclined to speak, afraid of causing his siblings distress
🦑 • He’s a hoarder and loves shiny things, wanting his cultists to offer him crystals, coins, pearls and anything glimmering at his temple
🦑 • When facing mortals he has extreme confidence but anyone that’s stronger and more powerful than him besides the Bishops this god complex shatters
🦑 • If Kallamar is in Fight or Flight mode god forbid he realizes flight won’t work. If he has no other options he has a sword, a staff and a holy grenade at his disposal to use against the threat
🦑 • Kallamar can find fault in anyone. Not taking the blame for anything he’s done
🦑 • Being the Ex-Bishop of Anchordeep his society is responsible for the production and harvest of the crystals and coins that The Old Faith uses for currency
After Being Indoctrinated:
🦑 • He is the most cautious and considerate Ex-Bishop. He care about everyone’s feelings much more than his fellow siblings
🦑 • At first The Lamb couldn’t even talk to him without Kallamar bursting into tears. Eventually he became less and less panicky and learned to get used to the cult
🦑 • With Kallamar’s ears gone he has a difficult time hearing and understanding sounds and other member’s voices. So if someone quietly comes up behind him he will shriek and freak out, thinking he’s being attacked: usually with a panic attack following afterwards
🦑 • Kallamar has exceptionally good lip reading skills being deaf. He also uses sign language and taught The Lamb and other cult members to use it if he’s having trouble lip reading
🦑 • He is a pescatarian and prefer’s to eat fish mostly. He will even accompany The Lamb when visiting Pilgrim’s Passage so he may fish for more salmon, being his favorite type of seafood
🦑 • Kallamar is the shortest Ex-Bishop being 5’4 ft tall. He suffered a huge stunt in growth due to the constant diseases he suffered from before
🦑 • He is very lithe and underweight. His tentacles making him seem heavier then he is
🦑 • His voice is either extremely loud or soft, having no volume control due to not being able to hear his own or others tone
🦑 • Kallamar has always been shy and uncomfortable with the spotlight. Even so, he can be a major drama queen
🦑 • Kallamar swears to never dissent against The Lamb as he is still extremely afraid of The Red Crown
🦑 • Kallamar is a perfectionist at everything. Since he is the cult architect he makes sure that the place looks clean and pretty. He’s extremely strict with decorating and placement of new buildings
🦑 • Whenever someone gets sick, he panics and immediately apologizes thinking he caused them to attract a disease
🦑 • Very timid around anyone except his fellow siblings, having a very meek nature
🦑 • His hobbies include jewelry making and weapon smithing, using his 2 pairs of arms to efficiently craft it
🦑 • With being indoctrinated his immune system has weakened severely as the blue crown helped strengthen his system. Now he frequently gets sick over the littlest of things
🦑 • He is very wary around Narinder and The Lamb, still having fear over The Red Crown
🦑 • Kallamar is the only Poly Ex-Bishop, building relationships with a few special cult members and treasuring them
