Bohemond Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 (edited) What are Nevala’s runes? She’s obviously got Beast: Sheep, but I’m wondering about her second rune. She’s a daughter of Ernalda (or perhaps Esrola), so logically she would have Earth. But the Heortoings associate sheep with clouds, rain, and Storm. Voriof has the Air rune, but might Nevala have acquired the Air rune from him (maybe as a wedding gift)? It seems a little strange that Heortlings would associate sheep with Air but their mother with Earth. Edited October 30 by Bohemond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems a little strange that Heortlings would associate sheep with Air but their mother with Earth? Why not Water like Heler? They take on cloud form after all. Unlikely to be Earth.

Ali the Helering Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Back in the good old days of Storm Tribe, she had Ewe and Rain. I should imagine conversion to the current simplified form should be easy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I looked Umath was the son of Aether and Gata , so we don’t expect always to find that divine children have their parents’ elemental runes. Spoiler And runes aren’t genes. And divine parentage is a slippery thing. “Nevala” is sometimes a mongoose, but I wonder whether there is not a deliberate b–v confusion going on here: Nevala -> Nebala -> Nebula -> Cloud Quote NOTORIOUS VØID CULTIST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Scott Posted October 31 Share Posted October 31 Given she's a minor animal goddess, just the Beast Rune (For a dive back into history, look here). If you need more, she'd be like Eiritha with Earth and Life too. 1 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.
