The Eternal Transcendent

Tehri, the Eternal Catalyst, presides over the enigmatic cult known as the Transcendents. Embracing the paradoxical nature of existence, the Transcendents seek enlightenment through the transformative power of death, life, and the ever-changing forces that shape the world. They reject the notion of stagnation and believe that true growth and understanding come from embracing the cycles of creation, decay, and rebirth.

I'd completely forgotten about this one. In the RQ3 Gods of Glorantha Cults Book, there was a typo on page 13, in the section on the Merman Pantheon. The paragraph at the top of the page says: "The mermen's grim faith is structured upon inexorable fate. Their deities are servants of that fate and their myths are filled with stories of ancient wrongs never righted, hopeless battles against hideous doom, and the dominance of powerful inhuman entities. Tehri religion urges a struggle of life against darkness, but accepts a final unity with the mystical currents of the world." This typo was picked up on the message boards, and people amused themselves considering what sort of deity this "Tehri" was. I had forgotten the context and made this for amusement not long ago, but it needs to be reworked -- after all, there's no indication this is part of the Merman Pantheon.
