rapist aspect? I recall its mention somewhere.) I feel that the traditional (Earthly)
aspect of Satyrs as both seducers rapists has been split into the Gloranthan
Broo Satyr.

How about any rapist recieving some taint of chaos? Gloranthan rape, IMO,<BR> would be a religious crime, in effect apostasy, as it is both worship of Thed<BR> (intentional or otherwise) and a reinactment of one of Ragnalar's earliest crimes.<BR> Both judgment punishment could be effected by simple exposure to the local <BR> Uroxi even if the acused is not guilty of rape the removal of a chaotic individual<BR> from the community should cause little grief. In addition the reaction of the cults' <BR> spirits of reprisal should be taken into account. Orlanth in particular would be most <BR> agrieved by the repetition of his brother's crimes both against kin (betrayal <BR> perversion of both fertility kinship) and against the greater society.<BR> IMO Anyone with chaos taint can be considered Broo unless demonstrably some <BR> other chaos, the category appears sufficiently broad. This then means that rapists <BR> are broo. Satyrs, as embodiments of <UL><LI> <LI>eroticism, should, IMO, not be rapists. <LI>Regrettable seducers yes, so are many </UL>tricksters. (BTW does trickster have a <BR> rapist aspect? I recall its mention somewhere.) I feel that the traditional (Earthly) <BR> aspect of Satyrs as both seducers rapists has been split into the Gloranthan <BR> Broo Satyr.<BR>
