I also said:
>What I would like to see is an approach to Glorantha that is
distinctively
feminine. An approach were everything is narrated from the point of view of
women (...) Or maybe what I just said is just a refection of male byas and
there is no
feminine point of view.
I suggest that you compare the repplies to my writings posted by men whit the comments writen by Jane.
No further comments on this issue.
Jane Williams on ducks, Humakt and Issaries: I have to think more about it. The main issue here is that IMO ducks shouldn't have a very visible and important role in those gods mythology.
And to finish... more on ducks:
The legend of the Golden Duck
There was a time long ago when the king of Yelm's worshipers captured the
greatest of Eurmali friends. The proud warriors with long lances and golden
helms turned the friend into the center of their jokes and malice. But
Durulz started to laugh until the warriors became silent. Them he made
jokes about the shades in their hearths. The king listened to his words and
just smiled. But he was worried since the words of our duck were true.
Finally the king spoke and he said: "Durulz, traitor of Yelm, accept to
stay by my side telling me the truth whit a laugh and I shell stop
persecuting your people". That's how the duck became the king's jester and
remained in the king's castle until he was very, very old. Each day his
sayings became more and more wise, more and more truthful. He himself was
changing: he became more quiet; his feathers turned to gold; his arms
changed into wings. One day, he just flied away to join Yelm above the sky.
That day, man and Durulz made peace and no more duck jester was required in
the court of the Golden King. (ancient duck legend attributed to the
Poenants Sect)
