Some people think the range rules for Sorcery are too powerful. Greg stated that sorcerers can indeed cast spells across Genertela.
The Lunar viewpoint is somewhat based on Hinduism. The Lunars think all
myths are true, mythology reflects reality. There are 3 correct ways to
view the world:
1. study of destructible realm: logic, Malkion
2. study of infinte & cosmic laws of universe. Yelm is chief god. Tool is
logic (?)
3. unknowable and unchangeable, tool is illumination. Orlanthi call this
chaos. Nysalor is chief god.
[The Solars believe people have 6 parts.] The Emperor of Dara Happa shares 1/6 of his self with Yelm -- his Antirius self.
The 7 Mothers rejoined the 6 parts. The Goddess went on and got her 7th part, the Nysalor part, her cosmic consciousness.
There was no heroquesting in the Lunar Empire before the 7 Mothers -- Dara Happans don't heroquest, it's too individualistic.
Dara Happans manifest through society, not individuals -- no rune magic?
Some Dara Happans believe Orlanth is just a perverse form of Shargash worship.
Experimental heroquesters go in groups because everyone has a different viewpoint.
The Lunar pantheon consists of human who have awakened their 7th part.
Prophecy works because things repeat.
Sheng Seleris brought Kralorelan stuff to Dara Happa (and vice versa).
The Compromise is not part of Dara Happan mythology.
I Fought We Won is the human manifestation of the Compromise.
The God Learners were Illuminated. They applied cosmic rules to the mundane world.
Gbaji was cut into troll pieces, which is why only the Red Goddess found him -- everyone else was looking for the 6 Yelm parts.
There was some discussion of hair color, from which I got the notes "Fronela -- more blonde. Yelm -- blond hair."
Vinga was either the daughter of Orlanth and Ernalda, or a Heortlending.
Yelorna is a Praxian deity. [i.e. probably not known elsewhere. However, Greg has endorsed the Broken Council Guidebook, which has Yelornans in Ralios...]
