theory time...
Normally I would assume that the god granting powers of ANOTHER god will first get their permission, or make sure they are compatible with us... With Ig-Vhakhan I think this assumption is out of the window. He could link us to a god who would then demand we prove ourselves loyal to their cause. That being said, the 4 gods listed all seem to be compatible with us. So I don't think this is likely to be a problem... now lets try to guess what the spells actually are and their usefulness.
>Ig-Vhakhan: The batshit insane god of evolution, fire and dragon-kind. When the rest of the gods created a sane world with a relatively normal ecosystem and consistent magic system, he decided to create the most insane things possible while staying within the rules they had set down. Which is why dragons are the size of New Zealand. His personal brand of magic is all about improving yourself, others, setting things on fire and exerting authority.Ignan champions shape the world through being nigh unkillable geniuses with superpowered friends and making people who disagree with them explode. Some of his spells are reminiscent of Thermomancy.
Basically, Ig-Vhakhan spells will make us superman... neigh involnerable, super smart, super powers, blow shit up with fire.
Currently we have AMAZING social skills, some skills in tactics, good (soon to be improved) undead minion skills... but our personal combat skills are basically "slightly above average crossbowman" which is downright pathetic and our biggest weakness. So this sounds really good.
>Ritter: The Ersteland Empires patron god. Ritter is a god of order, construction and codified warfare and his magic reflects this, creating large battlefield changing effects, wide, minor upgrades to allies and choosing individual champions to fortify and make leaders. The Magier-ritter changes the world through charisma, large armies, bureaucracy and discipline, with a few champions to lead them. Some of his spells are reminiscent of Force Magic.
Nation wide improvements. Boost whole armies in a minor way, swing the tide of large battles, imbue champions, magically improve bureaucracy (I wish that existed IRL!)... This is an awesome school if we are going to run our own nation. And frankly I see no reason why we shouldn't... the problem is that if we don't take Ig-Vhakhan's school first we probably not survive to do that; or be an awesome enough superwoman to build a nation.
However, we got 2 boons already. We will be getting 1 more just for getting out alive, and there are several more boons hidden across the temple. So we could take the Ig-Vhakhan school to help us survive and then aim at getting more boons before leaving the temple. Although, maybe we should actually spend further boons on improving our capabilities in the fields we already have and find a way to do stuff for ritter in order to get his magic.
Also if we DO build a nation we could hire Ritterian spellcasters. So maybe its actually better for future boons to be spend on improving existing skills (since they are worth many XP in a known field)
>Nagh: The Patron god of the Ghrakh nation of Ghul Drakh. Nagh is a god of poison, subterfuge and rampant growth. His magic tends towards growing effects, long term poisons and genetic modification projects combined with minor stealth effects and trigger abilities. Naghi Khal tend to alter the world through hidden plots that quickly snowball into something unstoppable. Some of its spells are reminiscent of Biomancy.
So... ninja? (poison, subterfuge, stealth, biomancy could be used to alter appearance and healing).
Genetic modifications thing and growth suggests self improvements, although not on the scale of Ig-Vhakhan.
Long term subterfuge and plans that snowball... mind control stuff?
Rampant growth could mean for the nation... as in, massive improvements to crop / farm animal yields (what with genetic engineering, etc) and accelerated reproduction of the citizens.
Overall its an interesting school but not as interesting as the other two.
TL:DR
Take Ig-Vhakhan. Aim for more boons while in temple.
