I have just barely not gotten to the Mythic Maps section, so my mind may very well change, but I was a little dissapointed by the monomyth, only because I thought it was a little bare. I was hoping for more, as well as God and cult relationship charts.

This is the lesson. Uroxi are, and have always been really, mafiasos, not Klansmen.

And just an insultingly inaccurate analogy the vulgarly uses references to very real atrocities. SBs are violently intolerant bullies, but they aren't genocidally racist or attempting to uphold a racial hierarchy.

It's true I did. Felt it was original and tonally appropriate, as well as fitting the world and the character.

Now I 100% could be wrong, but I was under the impression that recent historical study has found that the brutality and thouroughness of the sack of Baghdad has been greatly exaggerated, like many famous sacks of important religious centers, Constantinople being another example.

Almost a year late, but it looks good I think. I super don't dig the breathy, over dramatic faux Cate Blanchett female narration. It's a VERY tired trope, and was really only done well in Lord of the Rings. Obviously a nit pick, but it still annoys me.

Just got into the podcast. Always good stuff.

Fair enough.

This seems like a bad comparison to me. Yahweh was a classical storm god, but comparatively little of Yahweh's career as a local storm god (especially in regards to being a member of a pantheon, Yahweh certainly was, and even had a wife, but compared to Odin, Zeus and a later example, this part of his divine life is a bit bare) remains and even in the educated mind his later myths hang over his old identity. Meanwhile, Indra fits the bill FAR better, being unusual already to western layman's ear, but having a far richer (and more accurate to Orlanth's own journeys and stories) tapestry of myth to pull from.

Awesome news. Hope it grows from there.

This is really good stuff.
