It was unclear what you thought about the Elmali in Tarsh. You originally stated that you required a PC listed as Elmali to become a Yelmalion or else there would be problems. I (and others) are pointing out that there are no problems. The tarshite beef is with Orlanth, not Elmal. They have no problem whatsoever with most other gods of the Orlanthi Pantheon. Ernalda even occupies a prime place in the Tarshite Pantheon. Merely because an alternative light god is worshipped in Tarsh does not mean that Tarshites prefer them over Elmal for polictical reasons.

No offense but if we are going to debate the minutae of the sources, then the place for it is not here but the Glorantha Digest.

The Chaotics are not raiding the Sun Dome Templars, they are raiding Kree Mountain and those Orlanthi that support them.

Um, that is a reference to the political situation in Aggar in the 14th century. Most (if not all) Sun Domes there were established the following century.

It is?
