How does the Syndics Ban Affect Divine Communication?

[EricW]

Are people inside contact barriers like the Syndics Ban able to communicate with their gods? If so, why can't gods provide information about what is happening in those regions? If not, what happens to the worshippers and their descendants? 

Quote - Guide to Glorantha

Charg: The hilly land of Charg, almost 50,000 square miles in area, is Glorantha’s most hidden land. It is cut off from all outside contact by the Syndics Ban, which has thawed away from most of Fronela, but left this huge region between Fronela and the Lunar Empire. What lies within, waiting to be revealed when the Ban thaws? No one knows, but before the Ban, Charg was a war-like Orlanthi kingdom famed for its berserker Urox cult.

Did Orlanthi lose their ability to teleport?

It's covered on GtG 145, Temples to a single deity were unable to communicate with each other, even through the deity.

There's more info on the ban there too.

If those with Guided Teleportation had a place outside their regional Ban, then they were likely those who found themselves back at their starting place with a time difference or went in and never came out.

For those with just Teleportation, Sighting for this spell must be done visually. So they would fall into the went in and never came out group.
