Since a number of folks expressed interest in the index here it is. I hope it
proves to be of some use.
I have listed below all the maps I used in the index. Each map has been
assigned a number.
In the alphabetical listing of place names the number(s) of the map(s) on
which that name 
appears follows the name on the right. Name variants follow each place name
in parenthesis.

Ref: Sacrifice for divine favours.  

	In addition to the Cult of the Bloody Tusk and Black Sun (from 
various D grade horror movies) you should also look at the Cacodemon 
Chaos Holy Site in Griffin Mountain (maybe also Griffin Island) where 
the priest gains benefits from the POW of those sentients which he 
sacrifices there (I think that the benefit is an increased chance to 
DI; summon a fiend in this case).

Perhaps that explains why the myriad monsters that destroyed the God Learners

To add a psychological bent, perhaps Arkat and Gbaji joined together and
became a single, new, individual in whom the "destructive through amoral"
and "destructive through 'ends justify means'" cancelled each other out?

Despite whatever else Arkat did, you can't deny that he contributed mightily
to the process of HeroQuesting.

Some interesting points made on YARA ARANIS.

Most of the suggestions are complimentary. In particular:

1. Use of Dragoon tactics for mobility.
2. Expertise in pallisade and stockade construction.
3. Use of long pikes/polearms (probably wielded by local militia but trained
and commanded by Yara Aranis cultists).
4. Use of crossbows (and possibly light siege engines?).
5. Preference for Sable mounts.
6. Units of medium cavalry for countercharges.
7. Suicide infantry tactics (throwing yourself at or under horses??).
8. Special anti-horse and anti-bow tactics.

The cult would thus seem to have an organizing role (teaching militia, building
defenses) and an active combat role emphasising sable medium cavalry and
dragoons. Maybe this would be reflected in the Priest/Rune Lord split in the
cult (if Yara Aranis has Rune Lords ...).
