Beware: newbie de-lurking! Please switch tolerance to maximum!
Given that my Gloranthan Lore is still under 15%, I'm not going to try to
add anythiing to the numerous learned debates going on here; but I do have
some (no doubt trivial) questions that some of you experts might be able to
help with.
- I'm trying to run a Gloranthan campaign by post. Has anyone tried
anything similar and would like to comment?
- Swenstown. One (possibly two) of my players is about to visit the place
(game year=1597). What is there to know about it beyond what is said in King
of Sartar? In particular, is it documented as having (or not having) a
Lhankor Mhy temple?
- I've read most of the debate on Lhankor Mhy literacy, but one point
remains unclear. The clan Loremasters: presumably they're L.M. initiates?
How are they tested, assuming they're not literate? I can see that the
incumbent Loremaster for their clan could adminster the test (assuming the
subject they go for mastery in is Clan Law/Lore), but what if the previous
is dead? Does that clan just lose its Lore, or did it somehow get written
down, or what? And wouldn't the incumbent be suspected of favoritism to
his/her own apprentice, anyway?
- In King of Sartar, at the bottom of page 195, it says: "Orlanth and
Ernalda created the Foreigner's Wedding so that Elmal could marry their
horse-loving daughter and join the clan". Who was the horse-loving daughter?
The only daughters documented seem to be Mahome (married to Barntar), Voria
(not married, by definition!) and arguably Vinga (who also seems unlikely as
a bride).
Hope that lot didn't annoy too many of you: and if you're going to tell me
to read back issues of the Digest, could you tell me which issues? Thanks in
advance.
