Does an initiate gain anything by taking geases? If so, what?

A favourite spell with illuminated sages one would guess.

Gift Carrier as in the GCs of the sending gods, which destroyed the God Learners? If so, this is my only objection. Those GCs come only to those who know the GL secret and that knowledge is gone forever (from Glorantha that is, in our world Greg and Sandy still know it). And I don't think even a mighty spell like this can give you any knowledge about the secret.

Not to resurrect the 'who won' debate, but remember that the enemies of the lunars also have wacky equalisers: Argrath's dragon friends, Harrek etc.

Help, he's trying to illuminate us!

Nice guy that, with such a name: Tar'NILS.

I don't think the Haragalans care much for either. They consider themselves the overlords of the eastern seas. The Waertagi haven't been around since the first age and if the vadeli came to the East Isles to trade the Haragalans would probably be very suspicious of them.
