Eff Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 In addition to the use of high heels and platforms to increase the height of zzaburi and help them conform to caste stereotype, among Rokari there's also the use of artificial fingernails and wigs to demonstrate a zzaburi's lack of involvement in the duties of a dronar or horal, and distinct, obvious makeup styles to clearly delinate their wizardry in any situation, and flamboyantly colorful clothing to proclaim the wealth of their talar and communities. The frequent sorcerous debate and backbiting often latches onto deficiencies in this presentation as points of attack. No one is quite sure where referring to one's own sorcerous school as an "island of fire" in the midst of ignorant darkness came from, though... 5 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...

It sounds like a reference to Umiliath the Fireburg, but one where they've changed a meaning from "something that blunders through destructively," to "a source of enlightenment!"

scott-martin Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Love it all. As usual many of these are not trying hard enough to be dumb and actually deserve their own development threads when time permits. For example . . . 9 hours ago, Eff said: talar "Executive" is its own category. 9 hours ago, Eff said: communities From now on in a Glorantha very near mine the wizard schools are known as "legendary houses."

MOB Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Humakti who switch over to YT get to keep all their gifts (as long as they don't break their geases) and can continue to replenish their rune points at Humakti temples. And I'm just going to take off my tinfoil helmet to note that Humakti can replenish their rune points in YT temples too, though they do tend to get a bit self-conscious during the liturgy with all the tambourines, guitars, and group hugs. 3 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we all know Sartar(kat) was the actual Arkat. Ralzakark inherited the job of 'shadow of Arkat' when he went to the bathroom during the will reading but he's still crank about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott-martin Posted October 16, 2020 Author Share Posted October 16, 2020 Harmast didn't take the core LBQ with him on his journey to the west. He found the rudiments when he got there and put them together in a new system. Whatever rite the lifebringers originally used to repair the world is a now matter for conjecture. 4 1 Quote singer sing me a given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original leader of the Lifebringers was Lightfore/Yelmalio. The Truth of this is revealed each and every day. The secret of the Hill of Gold is not that Orlanth stole a weapon from Yelmalio, but that he stole the quest secret from the cult and used it to refashion the LBQ in his name. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stole death... And of course Kallyr Starbrow, with her star connections, discovers the truth on her lightbringer quest! And fails at the end, not by the machinations of some Lunar hero(ine), but by Orlanthi intervention trying to hush the secret! Well, we are after dumb theories... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
