it seems like Earplay has been down-graded from the third sister of Ernalda and Marian Gor to Ernalda’s daughter—just a grain goddess

If you meant Esrola, you'll see in the genealogy that she is a daughter of Gata, sister of Asrelia, not Ernalda's daughter. And though the entry for the Esrolian Six Sisters is missing (though noted under several of them), Esrola still is part of that grouping too. The Earth genealogies/myths tend to be rather overlapping.

D'oh! Yes, Esrola. Damn auto incorrect!

"Earplay" was Argan Argar's pet name for her. You hoomanz aren't supposed to know that.

So Kitori really look like Ferengi under their lead masks?

A question regarding distribution of these two volumes in the UK.

I pre-ordered these from my FLGS on 17 Aug, release date. They are yet to arrive in store. The Prosopaedia and Mythology have arrived. The store orders these through Asmodee (nee Esdevium) who seem to be distributors for most things gaming in the UK these days.

I note that even a couple of the big box shifters in the UK that I tend to use, e.g Gameslore, haven't had them. Leisure games, who specialise in RPGs, did get them, but it took a long while. 

My question is: what's going on with UK distribution? If I order on release day it's not unreasonable to expect to have a copy in my hands within two months. I appreciate the issue may not lie with you, but if you could shed some light I'd be grateful.

Likewise in the UK. I ordered at my local shop in mid-July. They are now hoping they will arrive in early November after many false promises from the distributor.

Others in the series have arrived within a week or so of release but not these two.

I try to support Bits and Mortar because Patriot Games has done so much for in-person gaming in Sheffield but this is disheartening.

@Cloud64 @kara -- I'd reach out directly to customerservice (at) chaosium (period) com to apply appropriate corrections to the distributors.

And I encourage any other Brits to speak up... two accounts of similar issues sounds like there may be a bigger problem (or maybe just a coincidence, of course).  But lit looks like something that should be on @Dustin O'Chaosium's radar...

[Cloud64]

Indeed, it does sound like there's an issue. It was worth posting here to find that out.  I shall email Dustin on the morrow.

Am I late to the show with Elmal once more presented as Yelmalio?  Was that part of the rollback to 2nd Edition or has the thinking progressed so far we have come full circle?  🙂

Don't mention the war!

I really enjoyed these two volumes of the Cults. Not only are they beautifully illustrated, but they give useful information about the gods and the cults that can be brought into our games, both by players and GMs.

I'm looking forward to the next ones, particularly the one that may be devoted to the Spirits, as this is a part of the mythology and the game that remains a bit obscure to me.

 

Thank you, Chaosium !
