Disagrees with Nick that the Red Moon is part of the Cosmic Compromise.

I was unaware of Dormal being required to submit to a trial by combat before being recognized by the Orlanthi as a god. This invalidates the Orlanthi belief in KoS that 'New Gods are Bad' IMO.

What about the Sun (Yelm), the Sea (Manthi) and the Wind (Orlanth)? They dwell on the mundane plane without violating the Compromise. The same charge could also be leveled (with some justice) at Harrek the Berserk...
