  1. The local pronunciation actually tends to be Lahnsen, FWIW. Your Cornwall May Vary
  2. One of my favourite lecturers at Uni was Rev Don Cupitt, the 'atheist priest' who championed the idea of being "Post-Christian", and is one of the primary philosophers of the non-realist school. He wrote 18 books on that subject alone. I think my favourite sentence of his is "No more pixie (fairy?) dust!" (my uncertainty is due to age and post-Covid mind fog) and favourite book title is "Taking leave of God". We did enjoy debating, because both of us are analytical rationalists, simply coming from different starting points! He would argue against religion to absolute exhaustion.
  3. Didn't want to mention it, miss, but there's an odd growth with wings under your feet.....
  4. Would a cat-o'-nine-tails be more effective?
  5. Sartarites, as part of the larger grouping of Heortlings, generally so. Alakoringites, not so much. Beyond that, I don't think much is detailed.
  6. Fair enough, it just seemed a little abstruse to a bear of very little brain😁
  7. While I have enjoyed many of your posts, my friend, I have to agree with Nozbat on this one. If you simply want to insult a large proportion of the population why do it on this forum? I have to point out that I am an ordained Christian minister who has the greatest of respect for - even the most aggressively evangelical - atheists. I am a conscience omnivore who has the greatest of respect for - even the most aggressively evangelical - vegans. I have my own political opinions that are as far from those you ridicule as may be possible, and in no way comparable to either, and I find your cynicism deeply saddening. Sometimes getting pissed off is the heart of wisdom, not stupidity.
  8. I am puzzled. Ludwig was Roman Catholic.
  9. Since Broos can breed with anything, I should imagine he is linked with whatever animal is locally derided.
  10. I completely disagree. Both are myths, and therefore both are absolutely true and reliable!
  11. IMG the 'names' of deities are more often a title, imposed on a multitude of local deities.
  12. I think the Vadrudi have a case to make concerning Orlanth's perfidious defeat of The Boss. All in all, this simply reinforces my idea that Orlanth is a Godlearner-imposed nonsense, and that Greg wrote him as such.
  13. There are no Telmori now. Argrath was the big bad villain who brought about the end of the age. QED. Hail Harshax!
  14. You mean Jeff can be Jeffed too.... weird man. I need some more hazia....
  15. Jeff posted in 2019 A few notes on the Torkani: Argan Argar is the tribal patron god. He is worshiped as a consort of Ernalda, as is Orlanth. Humakt is the most important war god, although Storm Bull is also popular. All the Lightbringers are worshiped. Their Rex cult is unique - as the tribal leaders need to worship Argan Argar in conjunction with Orlanth Rex. So I think the answer is "Your Rex cult for the Torkani May Vary"
  16. We're gonna need a bigger river.....🙃
  17. For me the joy of Greg's mythologising is that he would happily incorporate (almost?) anything into his thinking. Don't impose a boundary - leap it!
  18. To Lord Blackadder "You have a woman's bottom, my Lord"
  19. Pocharngo, give us the insight to warp the one to the other
  20. I'm sorry, but I can't shake the image of Furthest cramped with trailers🙃
  21. While I am sure it is a typo, I find the title of this thread wonderfully judgemental...🤣
  22. Ah, but back in the good old days, it was, my friend, it was.....
  23. Unfortunately, as with so many works of fantasy literature, the lack of attention to demographics destroys it as a setting for serious campaign gaming. That is why I suggested it as an 'otherworld' or 'heroquest' setting from the RW.
  24. Are you saying that Orlanth is a Complete Anker with a silent W? I am appalled!
  25. Isn't it interesting to watch games development?
