Hello,

Several people have asked about where to find various info:                     

If you really want a fairly comprehensive resource that can answer              
those types of questions, I recommend buying a copy of the MIG.                 
This Index to Glorantha covers all of the mainstream products for               
all versions of RQ and the world of Glorantha. It details all of                
the products and what they contain. If you want to know where to                
find a cult writeup, a spell description, a creature's stats, a                 
scenario, or a skill description, this is the work for you.                     

By the way, the cult of Eurmal was written up in Questlines.                    
There is also a partial writeup in River of Cradles. The Trickster              
cult in general was detailed in Gods of Glorantha. All of these                 
sources are still available.                                                    

The MIG is still available from David Hall or the Wizard's                      
Attic, although stocks are VERY low.                                            

A note about tricksters. Most PC tricksters tend to ignore                      
a comment Greg Stafford made a while back. Most Trickster                       
magic tends to backfire about 50% of the time. Also, many                       
societies deal with Tricksters very harshly. They are                           
outside of the law, and have no protection under it. Many                       
villagers would be happy to string one up as soon as they                       
found out. Most tricksters are loners. Loners tend to do                        
rather poorly in Glorantha, although there are exceptions.                      

The Lunars and Orlanth...                                                       

The Orlanthi that the Lunars care about the most are the                        
clan/tribal and religious leaders. The Lunars make it as                        
attractive as possible to join the lunar way. They offer                        
numerous incentives to join and penalties for those who                         
don't. Starving tribes are lured with grain. Teelo Norri                        
helps care for the sick. Taxes are less on tribes that                          
convert. Rune Priests that are tolerant of the Lunars are                       
propped up. Passing a simple law like banning Orlanth                           
doesn't seem to fit as well, unless you like the notion                         
of "every Orlanthi wants to kill every Lunar in Cold blood".                    

Take Care,
