+Rokari and sins
I see rokarism as a religion of hope:
Man has fallen, but thanks to St Rokar he can still be saved.
I think that they merge the revelations of Malkion and Hrestol.
A sinless man will not age, this path is easier for a member
of the clergy. I think that Theoblanc the pious does not need
an immortality spell to ward off aging.
A siner may invoke St Rokar so that his soul can go to Solace,
so long as he did not commit a mortal sin such as caste mobility
(especially upward), apostasy, demon worship ...
+On the nature of time
Even before the Compromise, there was a before and an after. But
the events were not synchronized on a large scale.
For example, Orlanth could leave the Checkered Battle for 5 minutes
in order to spend 2 weeks with his family.
Before death came to the world, no one could die. This means that terminal aging did not mean death but permanent incapacitation. Malkion (and Vadel) discovered a way that prevented aging, but that did not prevent a violent death, hence a Brithini does not age but can be killed.
