Goldennose Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 There is Lightbringers Temple in Clearwine, so there is also a Chalana Arroy Shrine in there. Does the tender of that shrine need to be a god-talker? Corebook does not mention Chalana Arroy having God-talkers... Is the shrine tended by an initiate of that cult or by a priest? Can an Initiate tend a shine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Kerisdana Hollybright, Priestess of Chalana Arroy. GM Screen Pack Adventure book, page 31. 9 minutes ago, Caras said: Can an Initiate tend a shine? Yes see page 315, Holy Site. It would be unusual though. 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

tnli Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I believe that the bit under God-Talkers about shrines should taken more as: "in some cults only God-Talkers can be bothered to maintain lonely shrines in far off places" or like: "some shrines are maintained by a lonely God-Talker" instead of: "only God-Talkers are allowed to maintain shrines" As for temples with shrines for other gods, most likely they would be maintained by the members of the main temple staff who are also Initiates of the shrine-cult. Whether they are Initiates, God-Talkers, or Rune-Priests of the main temple, we'll, that's another matter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example, the Issaries shrine in Apple Lane is only maintained by passing traders, the few initiates and Lay members in Apple Lane itself are unlike to be enough, although Squinch likely maintains the shrine. I'm sure Sora Goodseller would have an annual trip to the shrine on an an Issaries holy day, to purchase apples for Clearwine. Likewise there's likely a priest in Swan, who does the same. 2 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.
