Are men able to initiate to Esrola (not likely I imagine!) or to one of her male "helpers", or do they just use their common magic and work harder?
I appreciate, given his immolation, that Barntar is likely popular, but do men concentrate on his aspects that aren't especially Airy given the ambiguous reception that Orlanth and other Air-types can get in Esrolia? Perhaps through a Fertility runic connection instead of an Air runic connection? [I assume that someone has an idea of Barntar's runes, even if he isn't in the short summary of the Storm Pantheon in HQ2].
