No Belinik and Kriesha wouldn't spend power granting spells to Azrai's
priests. More likely they would do all possible to root out an absent but
rival God. If Azrai in any form really gives power to priests then there
may be somekind of an agreement between him and Belinik and Kriesha.

No Belinik and Kriesha wouldn't spend power granting spells to Azrai's
