Wizard Lords, Runecarver Lords, and Shamaness Lords) are the highest ranking and most
powerful characters in the Norscan list. Lords are severely limited in
number (see "Armies of Norsca") and are quite expensive, but make the best army
Generals.

a Godi may immediately reroll that test one time for each occurrence.
Immune to Psychology. Godi are immune to psychology,
panic, and break tests. If they are ever required to take any Ld test, they will
pass it automatically, so no dice are rolled.
