I dont. Your reply gives me what I need to know.

Nothing *significant* in THE Glorantha, then?

Ok, thanks. Borderlands boxed set [sigh]...

Book of Drastic Resolutions 2, p59, bottom, says: "Lions have been extinct in Prax and The Wastes since before Time began..."

That surprised me, but ok. Sun Dome sanctuary does not apply to Sun Dome criminals. Seems like there might be another loophole in Sun Dome law then - just convict anyone seeking sanctuary in the temple of something or another, then you don't have to protect them anymore.
