They use Issaries to establish common marketplaces - he's not exclusive to Sartar/Orlanthi lands. But remember - if you're in the Empire, the Empire expects its take - it's not "neutral" in that sense, but Etyries organizes a much broader mercantile network (e.g. great caravans).

You really think the great markets of Glamour and Harandash are established by that sheep <censored> peasant? Are you next going to tell me that Lhankor Mhy runs all the libraries and Universities in the Empire? Who do you think does all the grunt work of scribing and copying? Starseers? 1 1 Quote "And I am pretty tired of all this fuss about rfevealign that many worshippers of a minor goddess might be lesbians." -Greg Stafford, April 11, 2007 "I just read an article in The Economist by a guy who was riding around with the Sartar rebels, I mean Taliban," -Greg Stafford, January 7th, 2010 Eight Arms and the Mask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is a Lunar goddess. She is not impartial. Her trade and caravans benefit the Red Goddess. She can certainly take her cut from the markets, or rule over the merchants within them. But she's never had the magics to create protected market places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cults of Prax says She offers the same magics as Issaries, and her description in the Imperial Lunar Handbook, II is HQ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajagappa Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 41 minutes ago, Rodney Dangerduck said: "The Lunar Etyries Cult now runs and protects the market..." Nothing contrary there. They control it, take the tribute, and hire the guards to protect it. But no magic to create an Issaries-style market ground. The RQ3 Cults book is where a vast majority of cult details appeared (Etyries never had prior long form writeup). I don't think you'll see a radical change on this when the Gods of Glorantha comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonL Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) 58 minutes ago, Qizilbashwoman said: oh so this is uhhhh a thing RQG's rune list is largely pared down to Element & Power Runes + Beast & Biped. a subset that fits nicely on a character sheet and simplifies the spell lists. While I understand why that was desirable from a game design standpoint, the contradictions that introduces with respect to the Guide & any of the HQ materials are deeply frustrating. When ostensibly current published reference works contradict one another, they all become less useful. If you see a god listed in the Guide with a Condition rune, that will frequently be different in RQG cult write-ups, because they aren't on the character sheet.
