Since I don't have BA, I have to ask the following question... do the roles need to be filled by the appropriate person? In all published things I've seen so far with rings, the positions are not matched exactly. I thought the roles were named according to some mythic view of the role as adviser/consultant/leader/whatever. I didn't think you needed worshippers of those specific deities to inhabit those roles. It certainly seems to me that substitution is the norm, not the exception. Does BA imply otherwise?
