>1. Where is there information about the Lightbringers Quest? We all know
>the general story, but what about the details?
King of Sartar is the best source whereas Cults of Prax and/or Cults of Terror have good info. There is no canonical tale of the LBQ and the identities of the gods vary according to culture. If Humakt is involved in the LBQ then he is most often met at the Courts of Silence.
> Further, who are Ginna Jar and Flesh Man?
Ginna Jar is obscure and most orlanthi think she is the wyter of the Lightbringers. Gray Sages claim that she is really Arachne Solara or Glorantha but they would say that, wouldn't they?
Flesh Man was supposedly the son of Grandfather Mortal and witnessed the first death. This knowledge sent him insane and so he went the quest.

Two separate events here. Yanafal helped to reconstruct the Red Goddess and then he later defeated Humakt in battle (by being ressurected).

Dormal is also popular in Pamaltela and in one Fonritan city, he is the state cult. The people of the east know a version of 'open seas' but it is not taught by the Dormal cult.

The one point every three years is an averaged representation of the individuals attendance at the high holy day ceremonies (described under 'Worship Deity' in the magic book).

Treat it as normal cult magic. Thus it would be one use to the initiates and re-usuable by the priests (certain spells are reserved for Rune levels). One does not need to join the associate cult as an initiate to get it.
