Agentorange Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 The thread on sailors and shiphandling got me thinking. Obviously Runequest like most RPG'S focuses on land based adventures hardly surprising really. Now certainly on land there are all sorts of small localised spirit cults dotted around the place, some perhaps sub cults, some independent so and so forth. Fair to say the same would hold true for under the waves as well ? that there are probably all sorts of aquatic sub cults, spirit cults and so on in the same way that holds true on land ?

soltakss Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Sailors are so superstitious that they are likely to have their own totem spirits. Ship Crews are also likely to worship Spirit Cults, perhaps using the Captain in place of a Shaman. I can see them honouring the Seas in which they travel, major currents, dolphin spirits and so on. 3 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.
