What is "Eater of teh Gods", where do you get one, summon it, create it, etc. And does it ignore bodyguards?

Thanks!
Any pretender with a horror mark can be targeted by this horror. Even with 5 claymen I'm not sure your sage would have survived. If you create a pretender which has less than 20 hitpoints and it's not undead I recommend having the pretender cast twiceborn on himself. With the twiceborn he will return as a wight mage which has stronger stats than the vast majority of pretenders with low hit points. The other bonus is your pretender won't lose one to all his magic paths... just make sure to keep anyone with twiceborn within your domain.
Spells on the battlefield and give you a horror mark and last I recall a non battlefield spell called Baleful Star(astral spell) can give horror marks to units within a province. Also I've heard of a magic site which can give horror marks... so maybe your pretender picked it up while searching for sites.

Here are two things which can be done to increase surviving these new nasty horrors. First is wearing the wraith crown which will help surround its owner with undead at the start of battle. Second is giving your pretender lots of blood slaves which will also surround its owner. This might allow the pretender enough battle turns to cast some deadly spell(s) at the horror.
