IMHO, I think it's less that they are separate entities in and of themselves, but rather that the Agimori traditions can differ significantly from Genertelan Foundchild traditions. Can we infer Agimori traditions and beliefs by looking at Balazari and Praxian Foundchild beliefs and traditions? I have no idea, but it's an interesting question at least. (that being said, they've been in the area for over a millennium, so SOME cultural drift is bound to have happened.)

This is great fodder for my entirely counter-canonical North Pentan Storm Muskox people.

No need to invoke a set birth order. These things are flexible. In a Ragnaglari/pre-Chaos Broo mythos, maybe Ragnaglar was the firstborn. There's no need for a 1=1 relation between different mythologies. On another note, while Thed and Ragnaglar are associated with goats, it also seems like Ragnaglar may be associated with antlered animals like elks, moose and reindeer? This pops up in the Six Ages video game, and in his model for the Gods War tabletop game. I'm not sure what the basis of this is, but I'm interested to hear if anyone knows anything more.

I suspect the broken Council/Bright Empire might have taught something like this at some point.

One major theme of Glorantha, that of Storm vs. Sun/Sky is pretty likely derived from ancient Egyptian myths. Orlanth is akin to Set/Sutek, and Yelm is Ra or Osiris. The fun spin is not only the change in landscape, but also the typical reader's sympathies. It's as if Stafford went "okay, but what did all of this look like from Set's perspective?"

Ooh, that's very fascinating!

A bit late to the party, but keep in mind Orlanthi culture is clan-based. Use extended families, in-laws, cousins, aunts & uncles, third-cousins twice removed, etc. for all it's worth. Do you want a reason for the PCs to go somewhere? They've got a relative there. Or they can accompany a relative there, a well-connected adult who's got business or a mission, or is on a pilgrimage or virtually anything. Combine this with the differing cultic affiliations to add a secondary dimension. Do you want the PCs to get involved with something in an area? Someone there is active in the same cult as one of the PCs relatives. "Oh, you're Ghirrigan's kin? I know him well, we both spent a good deal of time financing and building the shrine to our god here. C'mere, I know somewhere you can stay. Tomorrow we will talk with my sister, she'll know about that thing you're looking for." And of course, sometimes this will be a sham. 😉

I am in AWE. I saw the studs on the lamellar or whatever that was, holy crap. And your non-metallic metallics are fantastic.

I knew that Dragon Pass was named after an actual pass, I just never knew there was a huge f***-off skull nested above it. How is this not on some book cover somewhere, that's metal as hell! XD

Woah, wait, the ACTUAL dragon pass has a giant dragon skull over it?! I am just learning about this now! Is this still canon, or is it just a specific version that Oracle cited that might be no longer canonical? Also, on another note, since this is apparently the only crossing possible - is it heavily fortified on either side, or is the "only" a bit of an exaggeration?

This is cool as hell, well done!

What if stars in Hell are primarily infrared? Incidentally, what do Lodril's volcanoes look like from below?

Wait, newtlings are herbivorous? I'd at least assumed they were omnivorous like humans, basically. So they don't fish or gather clams or anything like that?

Mantling, hell yeah!

Dont they look to Top of the World as their primary sacred site rather than Kero Fin as well? Or is that a generalisation?
