Ah, that does clear some things up. Especially the Kolat stuff. He's not just another specialized magic keyword inside of the cult, alongside Destor, he's got everything that he needs to operate. Likely a "tradition" inside of the overal Heortling religion.

And that's why you're the man on the list. It just seems like you think that I'm impugning the system when I'm doing nothing of the kind.

I see what you're saying. But you have to see that it's a matter of perspective. That is, unless humans are different in Glorantha, too.

That's very clear, thanks.
