Lots in the Mongoose publications, although these aren't canon (in many cases probably not even existing in the Third Age).

Which is the exact length of a Gloranthan year discounting Sacred Time, so it works out nicely.

Makes it one Gloranthan year long, which makes the length in weeks about correct.

In my opinion, this stuff has only one good solution - don't think about it too hard, and handwave away any questions that arise. It just does not make sense, and the more you try to make sense of it, the worse it gets. It boggles my mind why Greg Stafford wanted to introduce this complication, but here we are. Maybe the Lunars could HeroQuest a Moon Season into existence some day, that would help matters. A day is a day. A year is a year. But then— hey, what did I say about thinking about it too hard? (You probably need to nail down the length of a pregnancy, which is done in a functional way in Six Seasons in Sartar.)

I was trying to make a joke about the difficulties of finding an invisible blade that's laying about.

This seems difficult?

It might depend - every mortal who has risen to become a demigod has surely passed through the hero stage, but I could also picture demigods that are merely very small gods and always have been, and those probably aren't heroes.

The "multiple bodies (in serial or in parallel)" certainly does apply to Belintar and Ralzakark as well. As well as Arkat Reborn, I guess.

Through demigod, perhaps?

One of the things I can't quite wrap my head around is the difference between a Superhero and a Demigod. They seem to be within the same order of magnitude at least, but there's little to no overlap, so it seems to be two very different states. What makes Ralzakark, Takenegi or TOOO a demigod and not a superhero, for instance?

Extremely oddball excerpt from Lords of Terror, presumably not canonical even then (it's a rambling) and yet less now:

So it doesn't inherit anything from a playthrough of the first one?

Agree. Or DI.

Will this work as in-app purchase, then?

One feature about Orlanth is that winter stops because he blows it away (this is how you get Storm Season, the one that doesn’t have an Earth analogue). Without it, winter just doesn’t end. Also, I don’t think all Storm gods are affected - it’s just Orlanth.

This is the dark secret about how they make herd-men. All the normal explanations are bollocks - their Mind-Flayer eats the minds of regular people, leaving mind-drained herd-men. Everything else is a cover-up.

Premise: Storm Bull is depicted as a person with the head of your people's male herd beast. Conclusion: Therefore Morokanth Storm Bull ("Storm Bloke"?) has the body of a Morokanth and the head of a male herd-man.

Or Wonderhome!

Same way as parrying with your hand, so yes. Personally, I also give everyone the Dex x 2 Dodge if unlisted.

The mythic Green Age and what the Praxians call the pre-Chaos Green Age aren't necessarily the same thing? Genert's Garden (the Praxian idea of a green age) is at least substantially a Golden Age phenomenon - it's even there into the Storm Age/Lesser Darkness and only destroyed when fighting Chaos. So any Pavisite "Green Age" projects aren't actually "the" Green Age, but likely Golden Age and/or Storm Age?

One of my favorite things with a "Green Age" feel is a "heroquest" you can do in Ars Magica, where you visit the Garden of Eden. In order to do that, you first need to fully impersonate an animal (trivial for Bjornaer, demanding for everyone else). Then you can hang around there (in Ars Magica terms, it's a really deep Regio) and do your stuff (the best use is likely learning the Adamic language). However, at some point Adam and Eve get booted out, and then you're detected and thrown out as well (do not try to fight the angel with the burning sword). The really Green Age thing about this is that now whatever kind of animal you took the shape of is considered just as fallen as the serpent. And those animals know it, and they know it's your fault and they hate you for it.

Would symmetry suggest that O&E cultists could use spells from Associated Cults during the Windstop, in that case?

Agree completely about this - my setup was more in order to illustrate the conceptual discussion.

So when it comes to Ancestor worship, who exactly counts? Does it have to be someone you're a direct descendant of (this would be the most immediate interpretation)? Or is it wider, such as (for instance) having access to "in-law" Ancestors of your wife or other family members? Do you have access to "cultural" Ancestors, such as tribal Ancestors that you might in fact not be a direct descendant of, or Ancestors of a clan you were adopted by or married into? If you yourself were adopted as a child, do you have access to the Ancestors of your adopted family? Only of your adopted family? Essentially, can you "pick up" (or possibly even lose) new Ancestors through social and cultural means, or are they a fixed matter of descent? Also, when do you not have access to someone who would otherwise count as an Ancestor? Heroes don't count for Ancestor spells, and presumably being devoured by the Bat would also make it... void. What about restrictive afterlives, like hells? In fact, what part(s) of the soul make up an Ancestor? If you summon an Ancestor who did well, do they come from the Underworld or from whatever nice afterlife they picked up? Does an Ancestor become unavailable if current reincarnated (presumably not?). If currently summoned by someone else (presumably yes?)? Can an Ancestor be summoned if it's also busy being a ghost (no, I think?)?
