bronze Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) It is said he wanders the world incognito. If that is not a metaphor, don't such acts breach compromise? Donandar is not some obscure minor god or spirit, but the high god of music and entertainment, immensely popular among diverse array of peoples.

Perhaps just as Orlanth traverses the world as the vast system of winds and Yelm traverses the sky every day (and they do, and do not break the Compromise in doing so for that is acting as they did in the Godtime), so too may Donandar wander the world in the form of song and music and illusions. It may well be that he wanders the world as an instrument (as the picture of him in the Cults book suggests). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radmonger Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The Red Moon hangs in the sky. Orlanth spirals around Kero Fin. Donander wanders around playing the lyre. None could choose to do otherwise.. The compromise isn't that the gods cease to exist, it is that they lack choice of actions. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Deities may be incarnated in humans without too much of a breach of compromise. Such an incarnation will clearly be hero material, and may either apotheosize on their own, or reunite with the deity upon death. 4 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avatars, like Sorana Tor is Kero Fin. 3 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.
