Godweyn Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) So this is a new one for me from a few days ago. Just as Yelmalio was previously known as Elmal fitting into the pantheon of storms, Gustbran is the name given to Lodril. Possibly allying with Orlanth just to annoy his brother and staying long term by simple inertia or the stasis rune taking effect. Edit 1 : Taking his volcanic "true body" as a forge variation of Mount Doom is just the narrative detail I needed to convince me.

Traces of this can be found in old pelorian lexicography as well as the original situation of the OOO. It's also an undercurrent in Black Arkat. This is how to repair the curse of kin but nobody polite likes to think about it. Love it. But not in an UZ way.

Joerg Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The wyter of the Lunar Empire is bound into the Red Emperor, and reforms whenever the current mask and some of its constituents are replaced by new ones. (His spirit in the Dragon Pass boardgame might be the wyter?) Great Sister is another embodied wyter in (but not necessarily of) the Lunar Empire, possibly of the cult of the Red Goddess. Other Lunar demigods may represent subsets of the Empire or its population, e.g. the Red Dancer of Power for the merchants of the Empire. 1 2 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtsyAlraune Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I like to think that the Berens Tall and Swift and Redalda form a happy throuple after the end of Ride Like the Wind, just like Miguel, Tulio and Chel in The Road to El Dorado (we all know that's how that movie ended!) 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOB Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) Re the Windstop aka The Great Winter. To survive, people right across that 250km circle afflicted took to heroquesting to try to break the Great Winter. Serendipitously – regardless of the paths taken, powers sought, or gods invoked – all the successful heroquest attempts culminated on Clay/Disorder/Earth 1622, the same day as the Battle of Iceland in Sartar.

There are all kinds of threads for this kind of intuitively valid "aha" discoveries that deepen and transform your Gloranthan experience. Like this one, for example. The timing is auspicious. Something wonderful happened in the former Holy Country on that day to mirror what was going on elsewhere. And now we need something dumb as well. Think, Martin, think . . . The "giant stabbing architecture" reported in a village near Alone is real, even though it serves no tangible deterrent function. What's really happening there is that the locals remember the time Soul Arranger put his foot on the trap but identify with the other end of the story. They're not exactly chaotic or evil. They just grow up really hating and fearing giants so all their houses raise a wooden spike to mourn the original encounter and express their hope that the next one will go differently. The question is who in that part of the world would preserve that level of antipathy for the cosmic giant. Have we found the last of "the original krarshtites?" 5 Quote singer sing me a given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eff Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 While some of the Pujaleg people of Pamaltela are associated with vampire bats, most are associated with fruit or insectivorous bats, and the secret behind their empire is very simple- in addition to traditional fruit leather, they have also discovered how to flavor chicle with the juices of their local fruits, and armed with this juicy-fruit chewing gum as a trail ration, have brought Laskal under their wing. 7 2 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...
