In 1964, it became the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith and in 1985, Sacred was dropped from the title in a general rebrand. But Holy Office is good shorthand.

Actually Gaiman credits that line to Gene Wolfe

An illuminated Eurmali is someone who appears rational and sane. Known Eurmali behaving in such a fashion ire quickly killed for they are obviously up to no good.

Unicorns were made by the Remakers whose clients wanted a prettier rhinocerous. The breed was due to be scaled up but the Blue Moon Assassins halted the project.

The Aeolians only have three castes - Nobles, Zzaburi and Commoners. Given that other noble castes can and do fight elsewhere, I'm a bit doubtful that the Aeolian Talars do not (it's possible that they are influenced by God Forgot but the omission of the warrior caste makes this hard to sustain).

Possible lunatic theory: The 1601 assassin got drawn into the Tournament and ended up becoming the God-King. That's how Belintar had the special knowledge for the Building Wall battle.

Given Lunar assassins were active in the Holy Country at this time, I wonder if one had the bright idea to off the God-King.

Loskalmi art is classical nudes. An example is here: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/catalogue/websites/moondesign-com/jeffs-old-blogs/loskalm-art-direction/ or the Guide p201. I don't have any notes on the archtectural style (we have a piccie of Akem which is similar), which can be seen here (courtesy of Redbubble sotre) https://images.app.goo.gl/qkkGJRtMgRszp3iB7 As for the names of the Masters in Loskalm, we have:

He Who Moves had a brother known as He Who Remains.

IMO Ralians would worship Arkat to become Illuminated (Arkati illumination not Nysaloran). These cults would provide magics to non-illuminates but they would not ptocede from Arkat but from allied cults (ie Arkat the Troll might have magics from Zorak Zoran and Argan Argar). From the cult description in the Smoking Rules and Other Stories, that Arkati of Arkat's Hold only teach sorcery to illuminates. Many Arkati societies in Ralios may teach sorcery to non-illuminates but the big sorcery secrets will still be reserved for illuminates. Jeff recently spoke of the Rightness (ie Caste-based) magics of the Malkioni. For the Arkati, I feel these would be a combination of innate sorcery spells and the sorcerous equivalent of Shamanic Gifts. Arkat the Troll/Destroyer: Command Shades. Affinity with Darkness Magics. Bonuses with blunt weapons. Darksense. Arkat the Savior/Loser: Bonuses with Axe. Command Gnomes. Shield. Arkat the Liberator: Bonuses with Spear. More adept with sorcery than other aspects. Not so much exotic magics. Arkat the Devil: Command unintelligent chaotic monsters. Chaotic blessings and curses (like Curse of Thed and Chaos Gifts). Arkat the Peacemaker: Inhuman senses such as Darkness, Motion, Elfsense) and perhaps Speak Auld Wyrmish (although I think this has probably been lost). Makes Peace. Alchemy, Botany etc. Arkat Chaosbane: Bonuses with Swords. Command Sylphs. Thunderbolts. Diminsh Chaos. As for Great Arkat, I doubt a separate aspect exists and that this aspect is more like Orlanth Rex. The leading Arkati in any city is recognized by the other Arkati of that city as their Archon and probably has Command Arkati (which works on Arkati that acknowledge his authority) and Repel Deceiver (which works on Arkati that do now acknowledge his authority). Lastly there is Heroquesting which the Arkati would use to inflict curses on enemy cities and blessings on their own. Cities within the same country are rivals and cursing them is bad form.

Not necessarily. Most of the Praxians could have been eaten by Cwm allowing for a weakened influence in New Pavis.

Depends on what you mean modern cult. Sun County in the wastelands does not. The Dragon Pass Sun Dome temple is not known for having either. Other temples may.

No, because the Gods Wall depicts the Gods of Dara Happa and not Geert's Garden. Yamsur is not there for the same reason that Pamalt, Vith and Malkion are not. It would be like wondering why Marduk is not depicted in Pharaonic art.

People hate Kallyr for the same reason people hate Field Marshal Haig - they both got a lot of people killed.

Within four generations of a God or another Emperor is the Dara Happan standard.

Not shown are the Sun Dome priests simultaneously shielding their eyes with their hands and trying to peer around the same.

There's also a Nunnery at the head of Sazdorf Valley and the two are connected by the Old Saints Road (Map - the Coming Storm p69 - which doesn't describe them sadly). Hopefully the Starter Set will have details.

It was written in the Glorantha: Intro after discussions from Nils Weinander and Greg Fried. Nobody in Mokato knows how it works. All anybody knows is that Hobimarong told them to do so and Vithela was saved. Praise Hobimarong for He is Always Right.

Mokato adopted the curse in order to avoid the Closing. i doubt they are in the habit of taking annual holidays. I'm still not giving a statement on which interpretation is correct because either works.

Which makes more sense to you? Choose that.

Just curious about the concept of Aggressive Reincarnation. Clearly Belintar's example is meant. Just wondered how it might work for someone who choses to follow his example.

The term Hecolanti appears in Dara Happans History (fortunate Succession) as a term for giants.
