>How can you say the Doraddi have no conception of a Golden Age?
Perhaps if you read Gods of Glorantha:
'The Golden Age
A period of universal peace is usually recognized. Most
cultures hearken back to this time as an era of perfection.
A few, notably the Doraddi and Orlanthi, believe it to
have been a period of tyranny and stagnation'
Cults Book p9
Me>>The Worship of the Sun, Moon and Stars has changed under the influence
>>of transplanted Lunars into Kralorela.
>First of all, what transplanted Lunars?
'Sheng Seleris didn't just rule the Lunar Empire, he ruled
all of Pent and a good part of Kralorela as well. And when
he wanted to surprise and upset the Dara Happans, he'd bring
some weirdo magicians and creatures and people in from
Kralorela. And when he wanted to mess with the Kralorelans,
he'd bring in some Pikemen from Dara Happa.'
RQ-Con 2 Compendium.
'Sheng Seleris also sent many imprisoned priests from Dara
Happa to the far ends of his lands, even across the Wastes
to do his evil work. They usually destroyed the Kwalings
happily but some studied their ways.'
Fortunate Succession p76
If Sheng is transplanting Kralorelans into Peloria (and the Dolathi are still there) then it is propbable that there are some movements and/or sects in Kralorela that have their origins in Peloria.
>Second of all, how has their worship of the Sun, Moon, and Stars
>_changed_
Like I said, through contact with the lunars and the importation of foreign ideas. Which _happens_ in Kralorela dspite pallid attempts by the Kralori to pretend that nothing has changed.
>(considering it is unlikely they had any Moon Worship to
>change, and considering I find it unlikely that they worship the Moon at
>all, even nowadays)?
I see you missed a pronouncement from Greg which said that the Red Moon is visible all over the world and that red moon cults are everywhere.
>If you are using the presence in Kralorela of "Yelm," "Dendara," and
>"Eiritha" as evidence that there are Dara Happans in Kralorela, I reject
>that idea categorically -- these are not the real names of those gods,
>and never have been.
Wonderful. Because I _never_ _ever_ said or implied that. What I _did_ say was the cults had been _changed_ under the impact of the transplanted lunars. Could you credit people with some intelligence before trying to make up strawmen to demolish?

There's no published information supporting this contention.

Except we would have to wonder why these refugees missed settling in the habitable regions of Slontos and Kethaela only to settle in some god-forsaken islands in the middle of nowhere. Migrations simply do not work like that.
