according to the well, making "half folk" requires the very complex and exotic ritual of casting the pregnancy spell: "Through the blessings of the Nandan subcult of Ernalda, it is possible for someone to bear a child to term even if that would not normally be biologically possible. One consequence of this is the possibility for different mortal species to have a child together – humans and aldryami or dwarfs, etc. This may be the source of both Pavis Half-Elf, and of his daughter with the dwarf Flintnail. Such combinations are always unusual and remarkable, an echo of the God Time. It is worth noting that Lord Pavis Half-Elf dates to around the time that the Beast People first appeared in Dragon Pass. It could well be that in the Empire of the Wyrms Friends fertility cults as Nandan were strongly supported by the Third Council of Dragon Pass as part of the Great Ritual." https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/half-folk/

Could be then?

Not exactly a theory, but what do you guys think are cases of mythology changing during time? Like things the god learners changed(other than the explicit things like C&A or the goddess switch), or how you could apperantly get humakt magic through Orlanth in the first age.

I feel like zola fel will be left to the prax book. The twin fishers are at most spirit cults, and the same goes for iphara. The one you missed is Murthdrya, who apperantly has a write up

gods can have different runes depending of the way they are worshiped, for example malia only has a chaos rune when worshiped b chaos creatures, when propiated she's just I don't know wether the Engizi variant and the Lorion variant of the cult have different spells, but they're the same god

I normally don't like to theorise about what the god learners changed, but that spell seems a bit too overpowered for them not have had a hand in creating it

I meant specifically gods of seas, that's why I mentioned Banthe and Sshorg, I knew about Wachaza but i was trying to find more water warrior god. thinking about it, Drospoly and varachulanga might also be worshiped by merman warriors(thought drospoly might be a ty kora tek type god, hopefuly we get more on him in the water book). Manthi provides shield so he might be a warrior too. I assume that has to do with them being a naval empire.

Could any of the sea dieties be war gods? Seeing that they invaded the earth cube during the storm age, and were relatively successfull seeing that most of glorantha is water, I imagine some have that role. Looking at the god chart maybe Sshorg and Banthe? Sshorg has myths about invading the earth, and Banthe seems to be her equivbalent so I guess they could do that.

I remember reading something on the wall about how they eat grass made to look like steak, so I think the fact that they're tapirs means that they can't digest meat too well so they only eat it when it's required.

I meant to say ZZ but I was thinkin of tolat and annilla so I wrote tolat by mistake lol

that was probably on this forum, 50% chance on the dumb theory thread lol(not to call it dumb, but that's probably where it was discussed) Now I don't think Shargash and tolat aren't the same even if they are "equivalents". They do fight eachother in myth, and personally I can't really reconcile shargash's association with Annilla with him being ZZ, like wouldn't ZZ be associated with her too then seeing that they're both darkness gods? Another kind of similar case is Moorgarki losing her cold like Yelmalio lost his heat, but I admit that's a loose association(and you could also bring up that Sandy's idea that Pamaltela is reverse Genertela).

Well the irripi ontor description in the lunar way says that celestial gods have equivalents in the underwolrd and on the surface, so Shargash being equivalent to ZZ is intentional, but I don't think they're the same.

He's minor by virtue of not having a important cosmological role, he's mentined by name as a minor god

I would say that you have to be a narcissist to try and become a god but I imagine the people who achieve this don't really realize what happened.

So I was looking over mythology and I found something interesting in the copper plates; Entekos existed before Umath. Now I know that there's a whole book about her so I can probably find some answers there, but it made me wonder, what other obscure gods have interesting mythologies? The other that comes to mind is Heler, mostly because I read some comments by someone on this forum, that said that Heler apperantly was the king of gods before Orlanth freed him from Aroka(who I asume was just Heler in draconic form). Shargash also has a more important role in blue moon mythology, as Annilla's brother(twin?). Does anybody else have any other examples?
