Is Hon-eel worshiped in Vithela?

I remember that the blood sun cultists in Peloria were converts. The guide mentions this, including specifically a guy who teaches in the Lunar empire. edit: Is it possible that Octamo or the blood sun are verithurus(a)? Verithurus is directly related to sedenya, plus there's it's sometimes regarded as female and sometimes as male which Octamo also does(thought you could say with verithurusa it's a case of different cultures interpreting the same god in different ways than it being an actual trait they had)

Is the blood sun really Sedenya? I remember it has some cultists in the Lunar empire, so I can't imagine it's just a regional identification. Plus I assume both of these cults existed before the red moon rose

I was browsing the well of daliath and I found out that one of the vormaino gods, octamo, has a moon rune, whih caught me off guard because I thought only gods associated with Sedenya had it. Does anybody know more about him? Or at least does anybody have any good theories about him? also I hope I'm not posting too much on here,excuse me if I'm doing that

I allready know that stuff, but my question was about a specific manifestation(Arkat vs Nysalor). In a way I was asking about the opposite situation, time influencing myth, which apperantly can't happen without heroquesting

So what are lunar heroquests anyways? I remember reading somewhere that lunars tend to do new heroquests, but I don't really understand what that means. Plus are there non-godtime heroquests? Or is that just the mortal world type?

And what is the official story exactly?

If events in time don't translate to myth, In what way can you interact with these gods on heroquests? Is it that you can interact with the mythich reflection of them doing heroquests? Reading other sources apperantly if somebody has a hero soul you can meet them on the hero plane, and Arkat encountered himself. Edit:sorry if I'm asking a lot of question, I'm just curious about this stuff. It helps that I don't exactly know the limitations of heroquesting

so events in time don't have any reflection on the hero plane? also knda dissapointing on the Arkat-nysalor thing, Orlanth-Yelm isn't as cool 😥

NowI'm gionna start this thread with something kinda funny, I thought about asking this earlier today but the forum was down, and while I was waiting I read some things about Sheng seleris, and at some point i went on some forum and midway through reading some thread I realised it was this place so I was like"oh, this is BRP". Anyways, I wanted to ask if people can go on heroquests for lunar new gods? For example, is it possible to do a heroquest about something one of the seven mothers or Hon-eel did? I'm asking mostly because I don't know how heroquests about things that happened in time work(and as a additional thing that just popped into my mind right now, could I heroquest Arkat fighting Nysalor?)

I should have really used a term other than destruction 😅 I guess my idea was that chaos is a force that wants to turn glorantha into itself, and so it wants to destroy it.

It's funny you say that because I'm more of a lunar person too 😄I just have a diferent view on these things

I don't hnik this is going anywhere, but the last thing I think I'll say is that glorantha already changed out of chaos, it formed barriers out of primitive chaos-stuff. Chaotic forces destroying those barriers is really just a restoration of an earlier state. many things(glorantha)--->chaos--->one thing(primordial chaos) one thing(primordial chaos)--->gloranthan cosmic forces--->many things(glorantha)

Glorantha was made from chaos, but it was made to be different from it. Chaos doesn't mean to change glorantha, but turn it back into chaos, by breaking down distinctions between the various things in it(runes) and turning it into indistinct stuff, and then turning that into nothingness. Chaos isn't change, it's destruction. Umath didn't destroy anything, he made somthing new(air), chaos doesn't make new things as much as it destroys barriers between things. Undead creatures are the result of the difference between life and death being destroyed, not really something new.

I'm pretty sure the whole yelm-orlanth story is based on egyptean mythology, where set kill osiris and then allies with him to kill chaos. Chaos is explicitely different from gloranthan things, which includes air even in it's inception. Plus I don't think the concept of heat death(or many real life science things) apply to glorantha. Things happen due to myths in most cases Thought vithelans or pelorians might not consiider orlanth that different from a chaos diety, but they are different, chaos came from outside glorantha, umath was born from earth and sky.
