Are we flogging the dead bolo lizard again? Some more? Still?

I'm not going to lie I usually find the bolo lizard floggings to be entertaining and informative 

Kangaroo Praxians they cheated and stole the long-straw from the humans they were put up against before the covenant came into effect. They also worship Eurmal the hooligan as an ancestor. I added them for mad max references and to fill out the praxians tribes so their was one for each rune.

Aren't some rivers birthed from Mostali settlements outflow pipes?  What does that mean mythologically?

Powerful water spirits and gods enslaved by the mostali.

Also, Glorantha has normal ducks that are not sentient and can be eaten freely.

I don't know why but this part shocked me

AA’s is the magical power of ignorance (or at least of turning away, which solars might say of Lodril, too); ZZ’s is the magical power of knowing too much (and his overheated acid-and-meth-fried brain is drawn to the deities of “cold light”); XU strikes a happy balance and is the friend of the middle brother/aspect.

 I like what your saying but personally i feel like argan aggar is the middle and XU is the ignorant one

Originally, yes, but if I recall correctly, Jeff has noted that Orlanth now is the primary Wolf Pirate deity.

In what context is this? Is Ygg is no longer canon or is he now just another name for Orlanth or is Ygg still a thing and his cult now outnumbered from all the Orlanth worshippers joining the wolf pirates.

Surely everyone remembers the illustration of the Praxian Kangaroo Tribe in Tales of the Reaching Moon issue 1. They must be giant kangaroos, as the tribesman is shown riding in a the kangaroo’s pouch.

Had a feeling someone else would've of thought of a kangaroo praxian tribe though mine are kangaroos who herd herdmen.

Personally I feel as though prax would be the place to have marsupials. Something ancient that once lived in generts garden 

What about phargentes in his younger years. what was he doing before becoming emperor. Where was he raised lunar tarsh or the imperial court? What's the earliest events we know of? 

What is Phargentes like? What are his goals?

Yeah, I've always interpreted the comments about Lodril as basically upper-class chauvinism and classism. Of course the aristos think the peasantry and servants are lazy and indulgent. It's a meta-comment on Dara Happan/Solar society more than a comment on Lodril himself. I

I wonder what the Storm cults opinion on Lodril would be then. A nasty uncle who was willing to harm his nephews out of fear and jealousy? Would they be aware of any of Lodril's positive deeds they would at least know him as the father of Quiven and Ernalda (unless the myth about Lodril being her father never reached sartar). At a glance his wild tendencies could be respected by the equally wild Storm cults

Obviously it was Eurmal

Eiritha (yes indeed!)

I was not expecting this. How does this work? Is an elf worshipping Eiritha caring for the hoofed herd beasts that help with the health and growth of the forest?

he reasoned that clearly the best bait would be to tie a peasant to a tree and wait for the bear to come

i have to ask did they ever untie the peasant or was the peasant forgotten?

Six ages has hylor, the horse goddess gamari , redalda, and beren. As it takes place in the god time I'm unaware of how Relevant the information is within time or if the games lore is canon (not that last part means much for your own games) no write ups as it's a video game but it's has lore you can use to make a write up of your own

So my players found a EWF Ernalda temple and whish to take the idol of ernalda to put in Thier own clans temple when construction is finished. (Clan had recently been forced to move) now I have to ask was ernalda all that different in the EWF is Thier a "draconic" Ernalda that was worshiped in the EWF that can cause strange things to happen when some people start worshipping at the statue

Yes, but not many people remember that.

It is easier to say Sartar Sun Dome County, as everyone knows what that means.

I can't even remember the name of the Praxian Sun Domer County, so would never use the name.

It's all to do with making things easier for people, rather than using a name because "Oh look, I'm clever and can remember an obscure name".

I used vaantar because its shorter than sartar sun dome but I see your point

You mean Sun Dome County

Isnt the sun dome county in sartar named vaantar?

Where would a spirit cult of rigsdal in sartar most likely be? the kheldon? considering kallyr connections would seem a reasonable place. would vaanatar have a place for the polestar? 

So the sartarites know The god of the pole star as rigsdal, and Kallyr starbrow heroquested to rigsdal and devoloped a connection to him, but other than that I don't know much about Rigsdal. Ive seen the cult breakdowns of sartar and he doesn't even appear is he even worshipped in sartar at all, is he reached as a subcult of another diety? Did kallyr worship rigdal?  Does he play a role in the mythology of the heortling people's beyond receiving a mention?

This is definitely YGMV territory but I always liked the idea that societies who rely on irrigation more than rain to water crops (mainly dara happa) in glorantha would view daga as a benevolent anti flood God who drives flood bringing rain storms away so they don't ruin crops or damage irrigation infrastructure. Maybe even a sartarite clan whose getting too much of helers blessings may opt to give some worship to even things out ( though I imagine this would be HEAVILY frowned upon)

There are suggestions that the cult of Lokarnos worships them in their final form: Golden Wheels; or alternately that they survived by transforming into the golden Wheels.

So does that make the wheel coin sentient or did they survive by giving up Thier awareness to become something valuable and used by other entities who would also propagate Thier race. ( like the praxian herd beasts though less mobile)

Pinchining returned to Life (in Greg's campaign) when Urrgh the Ugly worshiped a golden coin in the Underworld and rolled a 01 critical.

The god learner in me wants to see what happens when you worship a lunar, clack, or bolg
