I would have thought the Horse God worshipped in Pavis was Hippoi or Hyalor as the nearest Orlanthi horse tribe, the Pol Joni, are Storm Worshippers.

I stick with Somash myself as being responsible for crossdressing.

There would be a major temple *IF* there were enough people there to make it one. But there aren't and so there isn't. The birthplace of Ernalda is piffle as Every Orlanthi knows of the Paps and the land of Esrolia.

The Pavisites are distinguishable from the Sartarite immigrants. Ethnic tension exists between them and Codex #1 contains an article on this.

Try clans instead.

Yes. If Jean-Paul Satre defined Hell as 'other people', then Zzabur's Hell is far worse as the 'other people' are lacking personalities.
>What about Waretag, or is he not counted among Malkion's sons?
Beacause he was a real bastard. Seriously he's not counted as one of Malkion's sons in Western (ie non-waertagi) thought because being a goggled-eyed marineer that never sets foot on land is rather difficult to do in Western Society. What about Sailors? Well they've always worshipped St Diros during the 1st and 2nd ages and St Dormal in the third IMO.
