Ironwall Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So my players found a EWF Ernalda temple and whish to take the idol of ernalda to put in Thier own clans temple when construction is finished. (Clan had recently been forced to move) now I have to ask was ernalda all that different in the EWF is Thier a "draconic" Ernalda that was worshiped in the EWF that can cause strange things to happen when some people start worshipping at the statue 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, she is a goddess of snakes, and serpents are connected to dragons. It probably isn't that difficult to find the Dragon Within, or Secret Dragon, of an earth goddess with serpents whose aunt created some dinosaurs. 23 minutes ago, Ironwall said: is Thier a "draconic" Ernalda that was worshiped in the EWF that can cause strange things to happen when some people start worshipping at the statue Probably. Most sane cults forgot their draconic influences after the Dragonkill. However, idols from the time might have Wyters, or other cult spirits, that remember those times and teachings. Adventurers, and other people, could learn new ways from them. 2 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

This is a little blasphemous but I wouldn't be surprised to hear EWF identified the earth power with the Green Dragon Star at the center of what we now call Orlanth's Ring. In this version of history, her practical magic stays almost entirely the same but I would give your clan access to some spells that normally only Maran Gor remembers today . . . summon snake daughter is the most important because then if they use it, the spirit will start to teach them deeper things. Of course jerks whose granddad was in the Old Day Tradition or whatever will get mad about it but hopefully the early hero wars are keeping them too busy to really notice what the women are doing. 5 Quote singer sing me a given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricW Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Dragon Pass surely has a slightly draconic Earth Goddess? Maybe the idol is her statue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 13 hours ago, scott-martin said: the Green Dragon Star at the center of what we now call Orlanth's Ring. That is supposed to be Sh'Harkarzeel, the Mover of Heavens, beheaded by Orlanth at the foot of Kero Fin (and the only dragon claimed that Thanatari way, to my knowledge). He may have been seen as a Earth Shaker, in life as much as in death. There is further color confusion on one of the covers in the Starter Set where the green light from the Dreagon's Head in the ring taints the Brown Dragon with a green halo... The Green Dragon of the Skyreach Mountains is a recent returnee, about 200 years after the Dragonkill. I suspect it may be the former Inhuman King who underwent the bloodiest of all utumas in 1042.

Nozbat Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Has there been anything published on a draconic Ernalda in the EWF since this thread was last added to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccercalle Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Maybe Maran Gor was more important during the EWF era? She is friendly with Dinosaurs and Dinasaurs are related to Dragons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
