David Dunham makes some excellent points about Shargash being the god of slash and burn agriculture, however...

Alkoth, the focal point of Shargash worship since the founding of the universe (ok, poetic licence...), is in the middle of a huge swamp. Hardly the place you'd expect slasn 'n burn agriculture to develope - he'd be more likely to be the god of chimpana (sp?) style agriculture.

Ok, seeing as this is my first post for a while I'll do the obligatory SFC thing and promote GloranthaCon VI - coma and see those Orcas whose cult was so well described a while back.

Yours,
Dave
