StephenMcG Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 My group caught onto "Violence is ways an option" and "There is always another way" as the dynamic tension within Sartarite society. They treat these as the cult catchphrases if Orlanth and Ernalda respectively. What would be the catchphrases of the other major cults in Glorantha? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Brooke Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Minor cult, but what the heck. In my Glorantha, Sable tribe worshippers of the Storm Bull call their god "Storm Buck." Their cult catchphrases include "You can't pass the Buck!" and "The Buck stops here!," both reflecting Storm Buck's ability to stand and Face Chaos when more cowardly braves would flee. (Morokanth worshippers call their god "Storm Bloke," but I don't have any catchprases for that) 2 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

Jape_Vicho Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) The most prominent is "We are all Us" from the Seven Mothers and Lunar Empire in general. They also say things like "Life is Death" (Hon Eel), "Freedom is Slavery" (Great Sister) and other contradictions. The famous Akothi/Sargashi motto is "Death creates Life". I can only guess that humakti say "Omae wa mou shindeirou" when they cast sever spirit. EDIT: Quite far away from Sartar but the mantra of the Seshnelan Rokari is "One God, One King, One Church".

I'm sure at least some Humakti say "またつまらぬ物を斬ってしまった。" ("Yet again, I have cut a worthless object") after some feat of swordplay. Substituting out other verbs (hew, crush, pierce) is of course entirely possible for any warrior god cultist disdainful of the mundanity of their target. (Lupin the Third himself is an Orlanth Adventurous initiate, possibly even a Wind Lord, Fujiko Mine is a Trickster, and Daisuke Jigen is harder to place. Possibly High King Elf? Zenigata, of course, is a Light Son of Yelmalio. As an aside for the many people dying to know what Gloranthan cults apply to Lupin the Third media.)
