Ah, but if you were at the PREVIOUS lore auction, you'd have heard [quoted from RQ-Con 2 Compendium], "Everyone and theri dog killed Basmol. He was killed in Seshnela, he was killed in Ralios, he was killed in Maniria, and he was killed in Prax. Everywhere there is a legend about someone killing Basmol, they did!" These were all separate incidents.

And Greg said that Basmol doesn't exist in Pamaltela. "The deity of large predatory cats in Pamaltela is not Basmol. The God Learners *said* it was Basmol."
[These aren't complete quotes -- buy the book! Greg and Sandy answer 46 other questions.]

I reread the article and couldn't see this.

Basmol was killed in Seshnela (see above), so I don't think there are lions in Tanisor. And are you sure the Karmangs worship Basmol, not lions?
