[On Esrolian Husband Gods]
MS>>and Zorak Zoran
>As likely a consort as Ragnaglar, IMO.
Actually mentioned in the Genertelan Players Book (cf Orlanthi Culture) as a Husband God along with Yelm and Orlanth. I think Argan Argar was actually intended to be mentioned here as I have great difficulty in imagining an emasculated Zorak Zoran.

Idovanus is the Sun God and Creator and totally unlike Lhankor Mhy in Irrippi's time irregardless of what he had been like in the Entekosiad.
My best guess is that since the Dawn the worship of Lhankor Mhy
percolated along the Rockwood mountains from Dragon Pass into Brolia.
>From there, the worship of Lhankor Mhy amongst other aspects of Storm
Worship was picked up by the Bull Worshipping Tribes (thus barbarizing
them ;-) of Vangstal and Chargg. Later on, these tribes conquered the
Carmania and began the reign of the Bull-Shahs. Then the lawspeakers
and seers of LM that immigrated with the Bull Shahs became their scribes
and sages in the new Carmanian Empire. It is only a short leap from
there to Lhankor Mhy being the God of Irrippi Ontor.
