MoreTimeThanSense Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 So, one of my players asked me the above question and it got me wondering if there's any official word/artwork either way? IMG I'd probably say yes, but just the head, but I could see them just going ham and dying everything. What about your Glorantha? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my Glorantha Vingan Ducks dye only the feathers on upper half of their head. It is the same with humans. I don´t belive that a natural brown haired sartarite human will dye the hair in their arm pits, their eye lashes or their eyebrows. It is only the hair on the top of your head that needs to be dyed red. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodney Dangerduck Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I once argued that Durulz can't join Vinga, because they cannot dye their hair red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make for some very funny looking zombies when they get sent to Delecti. Edited March 20 by Darius West 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The logic was that as they don't have 'hair' they can't dye it. Since feathers aren't 'hair' that specific cultural rule might not apply. Though Gloranthan gods (Mostly) being less rules lawyery and different groups having different interpretations I could see both yes and no being true in the same setting. Either way I am still curious if there's any official artwork of a red headed duck. Edited March 26 by MoreTimeThanSense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, the gods really are rules lawyers. For example, if somebody forces (or tricks) Nameless Humakti into eating cooked broccoli, then Nameless has broken her geas. Whether that somebody has gotten far enough away to survive, not so sure... 🙂 YGMV - I would probably not do this to one of my PCs. Except to a Duck. No Vinga for you! On a slightly related topic, my human Vingan recently disguised herself by wearing a black wig. Her hair was still dyed red, so we think this was legal. If not totally Truthful. Fortunately, her Truth Rune is on the low side anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Orlanth is the "I can do anything better than you" god, and has a Trickster aspect. Covering up with a wig is 100% in Orlanth's wheelhouse! 3 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not sure how many exact wording scenarios we'd be dealing with. I can't find it atm, but I recall seeing somewhere that oaths sworn in Humakt's name take the spirit into consideration more than the wording, I could be misremembering though.
