More thoroughly, in at least 49 parts, as a deity of such power can eventually recover from being separated into 48 parts, according to Orlanthi mythology. The Lunars allegedly have collected those hidden parts, and they have come to a count somewhere beyond 50. They are positive that they will be (or have been) able to reconstruct a pure Nysalor without using any parts of Gbaji nevertheless... 4 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, let's make Nysalor's child. Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

Campbell's work has been around long enough that there are jokes about his theories written into the setting. My favorite is Glorantha's own 'Hero with a Thousand Faces,' Ezkankekko. Every society in central Genertela has a story about a tall, dark stranger of their own species inviting them into a league of mutual support and defense with the other surviving peoples of the Greater Darkness? It's all one hero, but he could shapeshift! There's also the whole deal with the God Learners, who apply the Campbellian monomyth to Glorantha, and, uh, get absolutely bodied. As I understand it, that was basically Greg's in-universe criticism of the Monomyth. The monomyth is an analytical tool. A map, if you will. If you mistake it for the actual terrain, you're making a big mistake. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius West Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 So far the Red Moon Goddess has not tried to damage the Block, despite occupying Prax. Then again, who knows what would have happened if the Lunar sorcerers had chained all the beasts of Prax at the Paps, and the Glowline of the reaching Moon Temple that the dragonrise destroyed had touched the Block? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't say that... Ralzakark is every bit as much a son of the Red Goddess as any other emperor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
