However, I haven't gotten the sense that it's deeply important from the Issaries publications I've read (all but the most recent -- Dragon Pass and Hero's Book). Is that a misreading on my part, or is it being deemphasized in more recent publications?
And on that note, I don't have a clear idea of the sorts of themes that illumination can, er, shed light on. Orlanthi I get, Lunars and Dara Happans and Malkioni I all get to varying degrees, but I don't see how illumination fits into the Gloranthan cosmology and/or how to tell deeply interesting stories with it. Any help would be appreciated, especially help that doesn't refer to out-of-print books.
Thanks in advance --
