g33k Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 10 hours ago, Minlister said: @g33k I see your point but there settled Praxians living in Pavis isn't it? Not all the population came from outside of Prax. So why not members of the CC? There absolutely could be; I just see it as very unlikely...if for no other reason than there just isn't as much privacy in a city, and if suspicions arise, CC-folk in Pavis can't just vanish into the desert. I think the overwhelming majority of Survival-Covenant folk in Pavis are transients. They come for a day, a week, a season... finish what they came for, and leave. Maybe a few oldsters (less fit for the rigors of nomad life) might "retire" to Pavis, to act as agents for their tribe, to hold down a space for visiting tribe-members, etc etc etc... But I don't see such oldsters relating much to any Old Pavis families (and I don't see CC oldsters passing themselves off successfully as "regular" Praxians... where are the visiting Riders, FrEx?) Under the Lunar occupation, there were a LOT of Sables; a few individuals may have stayed a bit longer? But mostly were transient too. In the end, the CC are pursuing (culturally, religiously) a form of Waha's Covenant; Old Pavis families mostly HATE the Praxian nomads, and don't respect the Covenant. I can see an exception made by some Zebra Riders, who honor Waha & Eiritha... but not making an exception for Cannibals, for Waha's sake!!! OTOH, individual characters -- PC's or "GM Specials" -- can ALWAYS be exceptions to the generalities of the setting. If I had a good plotline that called for this, I'd jump on it! 10 hours ago, Minlister said: ... CC is not Chaotic so I am not sure you suggestion will work although it is very interesting as a self-standing scenario hook ... If they WERE Chaotic -- if Uroxi Chao-dar detected them -- they certainly wouldn't survive long in New Pavis! The enclave I mentioned out in the Rubble has a solution to this, but living in close proximity to others seems likely to become problematic...

Minlister Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 @g33k Thanks for clarifying. I had also in mind Old Pavis, I should have wrote the Rubble it would have been clearer. But on the Chaos aspect I still don't see your point, sorry. You mentioned the ogres as a an example of the potential organization for the CC or as potential members of the CC?

But hopefully that will change soon:) If the reason you are lost has to do with square coins and clacks, I can help. If the conversation that Jörg is involved in is the reason, yer on yer own. I surprised that g33k and Minlister are keeping up... From the Guide to Glorantha Volume one page 12 “Coins of Glorantha.” Note the square shape is representative of the Earth Rune and Esrolia is ruled by a Matriarchy devoted to the Earth. To continue this earth symbolism one step further, copper is sacred to the deities of the earth. Unlost yet? 19 minutes ago, Joerg said: Looks like I need a sharp stick and a lariat, now.

They eat humans (and possibly human cannibals turn into Ogres sometimes). It gives you a separate (non-CC) "cannibalism" element, if you want to link that to an Old Pavis family...

Minlister Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 @g33k Quote It gives you a separate (non-CC) "cannibalism" element, if you want to link that to an Old Pavis family... Ok, I understand but the CC is so much more than just cannibalism. The cult aims at feeding the hungry ghosts and during the turbulent history of Pavis, how many people didn't receive proper funerary rites? Must be massive; so in a way the CC could even be a necessity for the survival of communities in the Big Rubble. An element despised by everyone, never spoken about, kept at bay, but unavoidable and as such never completely hunted down by the leaders of the various enclaves. The Dirty Secret. And this could be quite a surprise for the Lunar occupant. Pure conjecture obviously, just musing about the gaming potential here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this could be quite a surprise for the Lunar occupant. Pure conjecture obviously, just musing about the gaming potential here. I don't think the CC is right, though. In the Great Darkness, Daka Fal taught the Tribes how to separate the Living from the Dead, how to send the ghosts on their way to the afterlife. These ways are well known throughout Prax! YGMV & YGWV, of course! But while the CC may be trying to do something "for the greater good" ... IMG it is misguided at best, and very probably something harmful to the very process they purport to serve. Not every ghost hungers for blood; and even of the ones that do so, only a few have legitimate claims to blood-price for their deaths. Does the CC limit themselves to that? Do they address themselves to the specific injustice (if any) and only exact the ghosts' vengeance upon those who bear the guilt? Using cannibalism to propitiate a ghost whose cause is to see their dead&unburied children get proper funerals is NOT going to lay that ghost. It's very possible that unjustly-taken blood and death, sacrificed to the ghost, will instead warp it and emPOWer it to further bloody pseudo-vengence... Rather than secretly aiding the CC, I expect every (sane) family in the area to solicit shamans & followers of Grandfather Mortal, Daka Fal, etc. C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, though... the messy thread seems messy enough; I wouldn't promo or link it. You might mention that there is some fannish confusion & angst, which seems to be slowly resolving... Or maybe not even mention that... 1 C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
