This is the co-work with my friend Utsumi and Kimura (they ran a campain on Vormain and I wrote down some of articles based on them with Kimura), so I know little about some part of the work.
Refer to Stephen Martin's comments:
>>gods mentioned in Gods of Glorantha, that is Telask the Warrior and
>>Zaktirra the Wicked Sorcerer. Also, what little info we have in print
I know nothing what those gods is like. Where do they appear in GoG ?
Anyway, I think they should be Cruel Side of ShidoFuhai and ChiYn TaiSin. Gods/Goddesses of Vormain have two side, Nigi (Peaceful Side) and Ara (Cruel Side). Sometimes one god would be recognized as two separate gods.
>>states that many of the Vormaini dieties are Celestial in nature, and it
High Gods are mostly recognized as Celestial gods, I think. VanSeiKiHi is the Sun, ShidoFuhai should be the War Stars, etc. On the contrary, Low Gods are recognized as Earthly gods who didn't obey Sky Gods at first.
>>Perhaps if Issaries, Inc. gets rolling, the Oceans Book project will
>>begin again. I am told we can expect another progress report sometime
>>soon, but I don't know exactly what "soon" means.
I am looking forward to seeing another work on Vormain and East Isles.
Regards,
P.S. If you have a chance, please go to see Anime-Movie "Mononoke Princess" directed by Mr. Miyazaki. That is my image on Vormain.
