Ah, at least _one_ GL did <g>. The West has a pretty good idea of the general Pelorian Myth from the Dara Happan PoV and who is on the Gods Wall. AFAIK, they have totally screwed up what they know to fit it into the monomyth. What they have not done is play around with the Otherworld in Peloria to 'prove' their preconcieved ideas, (thank god!).

The Blue Moon, Annilla does appear in the Monomyth. As for the Red Moon in God Time (ie Verithurusa), it seems that she was primarily a local diety as I don't think she figures in Western or Kralorelean astronomy. This probably means that either the Red Moon has subsumed the importance of another diety, or she is not seen all over the world...
