  1. if you google Michif wagons you get some images of historical First Nations wagons used by the Michif, who are a special nation comprised of the descendants of coureurs de bois (trappers) and Algonkian-speaking indigenous peoples, primarily Ojibwe, who speak Trapper French, a Plains Cree dialect now extinct elsewhere, and Michif, a hybrid language that uses Trapper French nouns and Plains Cree grammar. (it's not a creole, it uses the entire grammar for both!). they did not use the travois when hunting the bison yearly with other First Nations people, but rather wagons. this might be useful images for assembled and photographed transhumant wagons, as all the ones listed above are either from settlers or are from the Bronze-early Iron age and have been reassembled. They aren't photographed in use. Sample site: Red River Carts. Sites also talk about how people camped in (very) large groups for religious and hunting reasons and how First Nations and Michif peoples organised work. Giving young men sticks and calling them "camp order keepers" was crucial to keeping them out of trouble because they'd feel important and try to boss around people, when basically everyone knew this was just an attempt to keep the young men - the actual troublemakers - from making problems. Also some of the sites use the official seal of the bison inventively. The Michif term for the wagon was aen wagon or aen charet (IPA /æ̃ wagɔ̃/ or /ʋagɔ̃/, /æ̃ ʃaɾe/
  2. and entirely pure and wholesome, unlike the exploitative mess of the creation of the Wendy's RPG
  3. Prax is likely to use large tents. They are permanently mobile. When uh do Orlanthis travel in large groups? Other than for fighting. They are a settled people.
  4. Muri. They're actal trolls, but they lost the Cold part of their rune and apparently have no enlo. they REALLY like eating. they are alwaysssss eating. and they're really tall, like the child troll is significantly taller than the at least 20yo and probably more like 30yo human. they do have more than a passing resemblance to uz, my brain isn't entirely making it up. well they really really like night-time. they are awake all night. true, some of them are active during the day outside of the house, but they seem to do most of their work at night. that's when papa writes and mama cooks. But I can't speak for the logic to it, because it's my brain dreaming.
  5. i might be sleeping but my brain isn't sleeping on this brains are insane
  6. Thank you! Sorry for being a nudge (noodj? sorry, that's a Yiddishism I don't know how to spell exactly). So it's like Turos and his dad, it's just a self-emanation. Both are Bisos! Thanks!
  7. a wyter is for communities of like 50+ and is bound to the either the head of that community or a priest dedicated to the wyter. RQG, 287.
  8. well I also am the kind of gamer who likes to use prompts like "GOBLINS HAVE MOVED NEAR THE TOWN! the townsfolk are worried their water source is polluted by mining runoff and about the wargs that come during winter and are asking you to help the goblins build a proper filtration system and set up defenses to protect their settlements! They are sending an engineer, a priest, and a trader to establish good relations! Maybe they can offer fish, grain and beer for fine quarried stone!" rather than "the villagers want you to kill the goblins!"
  9. oh you're giving it to the wyter, my bad
  10. 1 point? This is RuneQuest, right? I think... whatever they are called, FEATS, are 10 point buffs to skills!
  11. @Jeff Can I just ask a follow-up because this is why I asked? I'm not trying to be difficult. KefTavar's name appears to mean "Storm Bull". His wife is Esus, daughter of Alk, who is Eiritha, daughter of Ernalda, unless I'm really confused. Their children are Bisos and Kereus, which is why I was like... Bisos is Waha? Maybe he changed a lot.
  12. I think they are Pameltelan trolls. They are definitely not foliage and they are literally called trolls. But they quite clearly lost the Cold of their Darkness Rune. They live in a house designed as a stove (it's a Scandanavian design) and their ancestor spirit literally lives in the stove running through the middle of it. They must have gone to Genertela to some remote island, though, because the environment is not Pameltelan. That explains the sleeping and the cold. And why they can sail.
  13. you are not mistaken
  14. yep, like Kolat or w/e. my brain thinks he's a goose deity because he flies south for the winter every year. brains are... interesting.
  15. Oh no, I hope she recovers quickly
  16. -os or -us is used in DH with names of male deities (although not all male deities have names that end in -os); -a is for female deities (same note) So for example Erlandus and Erlanda are Orlanth and Ernalda; Yestendos and Surensliba, and so forth.
  17. the satrap owes worship as a representative of the satrapy's inhabitants, not as a representative of the Emperor. a patron god is worshipped by those it benefits, like the leader of the lands it protects. it's separate. their office responsibilities are not solely as a tool: they too have personal responsibilities. if the Emperor was to take over as satrap, he would not worship Hwarin Dalthippa because the Emperor is a superior deity to Her, but without a doubt, he'd appoint an assistant to provide worship on behalf of the office of the Satrapy. this is how nobility works: bribery
  18. Addi is the Darsenian name of Entekos, the breath woman, who gives speech. She's very perplexing, as she's a phallic Air deity (the addi is otherwise a very unsubtle symbol of Turos' phallos) and even has a male name in Dara Happa: EN+TEK+OS. The Entekosiad is the story of Valare, who sought Entekos and found her and brought her back as "the Addi", which speaks. Valare took her name. Um... I can't remember off the top of my head. Might be G2G. It says something along the lines of 'The worship day of Dendara-Entekos is rain-bringing ceremonies.' Sorry, still unpacking. In the Entekosiad, Dendara is a water deity in the beginning: Karanda, the Striped One, called Fa Elsor and Feder. She is the mother of the seven phases of the moons.
  19. yes, like i said: "unfamiliar Orlanthi". I feel like you're still not getting the discussion point. Of course they're Orlanthi - but they're not Kerofinelan by a long shot. The books lay out an Orlanthi worldview, Sartarite or similar, that's kind of the standard view. Maybe we also are used to the Pol-Joni. But Esrolians? They think men are inferior. They have alliances with Darkness and a long tradition of city-states. They have a very distinct system of rule, the Grandmothers. It's the differences between people who are Orlanthi that are interesting. Intrinsically. lmao now i have an image of a buddha-shrine in a thai restaurant, only it's waha in his cow hat @Jeff are we gonna get a ruling on Bisos worship? Is it Pelorian Waha?
  20. you can make her covered by convenient whatever, plus covered in mud, especially if she's mostly facing the shopkeeper begging. the focus should definitely not be on her being naked per se; it's not about boobies but about how she's somehow the most threatening thing and bored despite being skyclad.
  21. i keep having a dream where the Moomins are a pantheon in Glorantha, so it could be weirder! my brain fixates on things and i've been watching the new 2019 Moomin show on Amazon so I think it mixed them together when I sleep. Mymbla is Oria (her name is slang for "she sleeps with many people" but not pejoratively) and the Groke is the Atarks (the Goakstart), her other, Azerlo/Annara/Ty Kora Tek Little µ is the problematic Earth Goddess of the region because she's got a Discordance rune (i.e. like Eurmal) The Ancestor who lives in the stove is obviously Grandfather Mortal Hemulen is the god of learning like Lhankor Mhy (more like Buserian, honestly) and the Hemulens are his followers and so forth I wake up sometimes in the morning like "what the heck"
  22. Pavis, Gateway to Adventure, p. 68, on Corflu:
  23. Jeff, I think we all agree already about this, but thanks for reinforcing this officially. We're more poking around at who isn't Kerofinelan - Ralians with their Lodril and Yelm worship, and so forth. It's just interesting to examine people who aren't "sourcebook Orlanthi" because of the exact points you lay out: they are Orlanthi, they're just Not the Orlanthi You Know. The one Unfamiliar Orlanthi we do know are the Esrolians, of course. They've got plenty lore! Basically it's just interesting.
