The person in question would propably get nothing out of it him/herself, like rune magic. But the as the clan wanted to get him/her outlawed, they did it the easier way, than to gather false evidence for Thing. Also, those who are mentally in the level of a child, would likely get this treatment, and be guarded by whoever orlanthi would want them under his rule, most likely the father of poor trickster.
Rape as an act of creating Wakboth:
That never came unto my mind. In those cultures, whose myths acknowledge this, rape would be most likely be something like a high crime, punishable by death. Not like in some earth cultures, where women must marry their assaulter! But that would also explain why broos are so horny. It simply is more holy to them to rape the victim, rather than just to torture him/her thoroughly. This also makes crimes against closest kin more serious in Orlanthi culture.
Where can I find the Trollkin Value abilities list? If anyone can point it to me, I (and Vesa Lehtinen) would be most grateful.
About campaing environment suitable to my ideas:
I have been thinking about starting a new campaign. To me it does not matter so much, where on Glorantha it would locate to, but rather that what would go on over there. I have few environmental requirements, which would be the basis of the campaign:
I have already considered Glamour, but it lacks the necessary government. Although orlanthi are peppered with arrows very quickly indeed, most of the people are seemingly satisfied with 'bread and circus.'
Nochet would also do, but who would be opressed?
Also, what Ralian city-states have the elements 1) and 2)?
Thanks to all beforehand,
Panu 'Passo' Pasanen.
