That's... that also explains why she has legitimate claims to ruling over the Middle Air!

Now that you point that out it doesn't sound as dumb as it did in my head

The seven mothers didn't resurrect the moon but the moons unborn child by umath who took her mother's place

Dragonewt souls return to their eggs to grow a new body when their current body is destroyed, whereas mortal souls go to the underworld to move on to their respective afterlives. If the Dragonewt's soul has no egg, it leaves the cycle and no one knows where it goes, making the Dragonewt properly dead for all intents and purposes.

Plot twist the Way a dragonnewt becomes a dragon is to destroy Thier egg destroying the thing that attaches them to the mundane world

I've thought about this topic and came to came up with an execution for each element air: being thrown off a high place l, earth stoning, fire burning, darkness buried alive, water drowning moon fed to chaos creature

One thing must surely be that unlike other herd beasts, Herd-men have to be trained. A bison just has to eat grass and go where you prod it (unless it's a riding bison, in which case things change a bit), but collecting tubers for your masters or carrying their palanquins is a decidedly non-natural activity. So I believe we need to consider a lot of Herd-man training going on, since all of them have to be trained.

Unless herdmen are smart enough where mothers teach the offspring how to do tasks or the calves learn though seeing and doing

An encounter idea for yah a married couple on a chariot are coming down the road arguing they see the party and ask for directions. Just so happens they are famed lunar bandits Bondia and Clydus

So what kinda of guy is Pharandros, his history pre and post kingship, why he tried killing his uncle fazzur.

Though looking at the Red Cow Clan, building a /new/ tribe is going to be awkward, as the bloodlines, wouldn't have formed yet. No would a clan hero have emerged, as the group/proto-clan has only been around for 10 years. Though doing this at the very start of the Hero Wars is a great way to draw on that energy.

There could be proto-bloodlines formed around important members of the clan and their family and followers and/or cult affiliation

She appears as a separate entity in the Cults book based on the previews I've seen, but she's also... kind of filling the roles of the three Orlanthi goddesses, in that way. Keeper of Hell, and old (described as a hag), and yet also mature (Dendara's sister and symbolic opposite) and a goddess of the Earth's fury, and also a personal avenger who motivates people to direct action. And of course Gor Gor Ma to Ma Ran Gor is not a huge leap. 

I mean not every god or goddess that share roles are secretly the same. You can have multiple gods fill the same role especially if they are from different pantheons

Cruxfik, demigod of overpriced workout equipment and programs.

I imagine a buff frat boy

I know if the king of dragon pass game ernalda and orlanth don't but how much of this is canon

What gods in glorantha take human sacrifice exactly. Also maybe for a bit of fun what gods do you think might possibly take them?

The whole if babs gor cultists can have relantionships could also be based on how high up the ladder you are

Reading this thread ive been struck by an idea i might toy with Yelmalio isn't a god he is a phalanx of gods all the other names he goes by are actually individual members of the godly phalanx of light and each sun dome actually worships a different member of said phalanx 

a god of my own creation and a joke IRS god of taxes associated with all cults that collect taxes from their members. dont you even think about trying to doge your taxes not even chaos is that stupid

So the dwarves are working on restoring the world machine. so what happens if they succeed?

do the Orlanthi people (specifically sartarites) have some kind of horse god or goddess?

reading this thread has brought a question to my mind if a Orlanthi woman brought back a Grazer Kargzant husband would the child still be eligible to join the grazers yelm cult.

my players had a duel summoned an air spirit killed Deseros and in doing so started a blood feud between their clans

So I started my Runequest game and i ran the cattle Raid scenario one of my players decided to deal with the situation when the Orvelings arrived by challenging the leader to a duel. He won by summoning a Air elemental who lifted the leader up and made him fall to death. so i didnt think of it at the time but i imagince using a spirit in a duel would be a rather bad thing to orlanthi society but is that the case, also what are any common rules for duels that exist for future refrence.

in this case defiantly would be lead

you know i meant this as a joke but the shear weight of a lead map would be a good way to avoid these maps being taken by none Uz (Plus lead being the metal of Darkness)

Troll maps! Carved into smooth stone. Analysed by touch. Disturbingly accurate.

I quite like the idea that trolls have highly detailed and multilayered maps of underground and the surface world. I also imagine they would guard those quite jealously 

just decided to swing by and say i got the game running players have made their clan and decided to settle in the Tamlane Hills. Thank you for all the comments it really helped.

found a jonestown book that has something to do with bramble berry hills The Rostakori a valind worshipping bandit clan that toke up residence in them hills could make an excellent rival or even friendly clan if the players chose brambleberry
