         I'm pretty much trying to do Something Completely Different while still being in Glorantha using Argrath's actions as a rationale for getting rid of the greater gods. It won't be a "proven" fact that Argrath got all the gods gobbled up by Wakboth; the objective truth will be the absence of the gods but the reason for their absence will be somewhat subjective. I'm departing rather severely from Gloranthan Orthodoxy for this campaign.

      Silly question: how does one pronounce "Jeorg"? I've observed that the letter "J" is pronounced (or not) in a lot of different ways depending on one's language.
