Awwww...I really liked the Blood Wind-it wasn't perfect, but it was unique as a Pretender type, and the only Pretender I used with Arga Dis (which I absolutely love), because of that reason.
Any chance you might consider just redoing it, rather than removing Blood Wind?
Arga Dis would be a fun nation to have several different "strange and terrible" Pretender choices, like Blood Wind, because I see it somewhat as a glimpse into a very bloody, barbaric pre-(or atleast formulative)-Olympic Greece that is rarely represented-and the vast Greek Pantheon had some of the godliest monsters and most monstrous gods.
As far as your sickle looking like a crook-well, it is a Greek goat-man, so it doesn't get much more shepherdy than that I suppose
