I love this and I am stealing the hell out of it! Divert a river goddess to try to dilute the taint, but wouldn't it be better to speed things up and use all the gods and goddesses? Put them in a filter (net) and dump the devil in it and hope it all evens out. Whatever survives can be something new, reset the cycle and perform this mortal utuma where we have balanced both sides of our selves. That we first had to live through decades of horrors as we confronted our own best and worst inner decision doesn't matter. What does is the Right Action at the end. (I genuinely love Argrath as a character and myth, maybe I should change my name to Argrath Apologist)

I have always been of the opinion that if Wakboth is the moral evil of the mundane world within time and trapped there, then the Wakboth you meet on a heroquest is formed from your own inner evil, that little shade of darkness at the heart of every mortal. Or, he can be formed by the evils of opposing forces on the quest. In either case, it is the mortal heroquester that brings the fuel that becomes the devil with them. This is why some can call the Red Goddess, once mortal, the devil, while others call Argrath the same thing. Every mortal can be the devil, if given the opportunity.

Now I am just thinking of a "Damage Control" campaign like the old Marvel comic about the company that cleans up after superhero fights... The Hero Wars is pretty much that after all...

We have a chapter on music in our upcoming Sun County themed book, and I think it's my favorite one in the book.

Many find it a lot more interesting in working towards getting something (exciting social climber) than working to keep it (boring middle class).

I mean this is a world where horses are related to birds so....

Maybe because the abdomen/torso/neck/head (spine/chakras) is the anchor of the spirit and once that is cut/destroyed, the spirit has started to detach? A bit like a balloon whose string has been cut?

Wow that is absolutely AMAZING.

I did write a handout for my Babeester Gor PC which was based on the Six Paths Ernalda initiation, and how things were adjusted compared to the normal one in there. There are no stats, but it might give you some ideas on how this first initiation into the tribe (not becoming an actual initiate of the cult) might happen. BabeesterGorInitiation.docx

True that, we'll see what happens in the future!

Just the volume I need!

What are gods but greater spirits trapped by time?

And once again, this thread is why I love this forum. Stories are told, but how they are told and what they actually say, tell as much of the teller as the subject.

I would also point out that Ranaglar is probably the first victim of the cycle of abuse after having been tossed into the sex-pit by his uncles...

Sadly mine are going to be published in my Sun County book which is undergoing proofreading as we speak.
