True, but not in the genealogy shown in the book. The Six Sisters are not mentioned in the book.

True, not in the genealogy, yet the notes on Esrola do not explicitly note her parentage and do indicate she is closely linked to Ernalda ("more so than other grain goddesses") and that Esrola and Ernaldela are often interchangeable names. I'd leave it as aunt as that suggests there is more to the relationship than just the genealogy.

In the illo with the labels for the Goddesses, the labels for Barb and Maran have been switched.

Barb is with the Dinos, surely that should be Maran?

That has been noted elsewhere that the labels are correct. (Note that you will also find an illustration of Maran dancing atop a mound of skulls on p.98)

Gains it from Jolly Fat Man instead. Not sure what motivated the change.

Most likely the Good Shepherd is only present in Prax/the Paps. So if you're on Prax and want the spell, you go to the Good Shepherd. Elsewhere (like all of Esrolia), you'll honor the Jolly Fat Man.

Probably One is a mask of the other.

Page 59, Caladra and Aurelion, under Requirements to Belong:

"followed by some sort of business transaction.  This little ceremony may akso be used before all transactions which should be blesed by the gods...*

This looks like a copy and paste from Issaries.  It is not obvious what business transactions have to do with Caladra and Aurelion.

Throughout, "worshipped" -> "worshiped" as per the Lightbringers book.

p.2, 2nd col, last para, last sentence, "Gods Time" -> "God Time".

p.3, Names, 1st para, 3rd sentence, "as separate deities" -> "as a separate deity" ("each" is singular).

p.11, Voria, 3rd sentence, "Her appearance awakens the Grain Goddesses to awake" -> "Her apperance alerts the Grain Goddesses to awake" as per the Prosopaedia (repetition).

p.15, 2nd col, 4th para, 1st sentence, "Lightbringers Quest" -> "Lightbringers' Quest".

p.16, 1st col, 4th para, last sentence, "Goddess' war" -> "Goddess's war" (or if keeping the former then p.20 "Goddess's" needs to change).

p.18, Lay Membership, 1st para, 2nd sentence, "goddess' gifts" -> "goddess's gifts" (as above).

p.18, Lay Membership, 1st para, 3rd sentence, delete "that" from "Any non-Chaotic sentient being that is welcomed".

p.18, Rune Spells, last sentence, "Restore (CON, STR)" -> "Restore Health (CON, STR)".

p.19, Earth Priestess, Requirements, 2nd para, should perhaps "become Wise Women" -> "become Wise Women or Earth Priestesses"?  As it is now it reads oddly in this section on Earth Priestess requirements since it seems to apply only to Wise Women. If it does only apply to Wise Women then this paragraph is in the wrong section.

p.20, Birthing, the "Touch" tag is missing.

p.22, Speak With Horse, 1st sentence, "talk a horse" -> "talk with a horse".

p.23, Craft (Brewing), first sentence, "each which" -> "each of which".

p.23, Earthwarm, last sentence, "increases  the 50-meter radius" -> "increases the radius by 50 meters" (as per the RBoM). If this change was done to save space, it could be done much more effectively by leaving the original wording and changing "kilometer" to "km", or various other ways that don't leave it ambiguous.

p.25, Yelm, 1st sentence, "one ot Ernalda's husband" -> "one of Ernalda's husbands".
