I see it working both ways - Kyger Litor lives in and "is" each and every Uz. She is ALSO your clan's kygerlith, or altar, or sacred ancestral skull.

It would probably be most accurate to describe the Castles of Lead as Kyger Litor's "Medicine Bundle" in the surface world... though that kind of stretches the implications of term past the breaking point. Which is really the point i was getting at.

Thanks VERY much for the excellent descriptions of animism, and I don't see much to disagree with in it. The main impetus for posting is that I personally belive that "Medicine Bundle" is a specifically praxian (or human-animist) representation of a spirit's "binding" or "favorite point of access to the middle world". Trolls are more likely to use the term "shrine" or "grammaw" when discussing (nearly) the same concept :-)
