Alex asks:

In addition the many human/hero sons that Peter mentioned (Eusibus, Lerustum the Killer), Shargash has at least two devine sons: Alkor and Heler. According to a story that Greg told at Glorantha Con 5 (Victoria, BC, July 97), Heler was born when the Nestentos monster smashed herself against Shargash's shield, high up in the sky. I'm not sure what the DH name for Heler is.

I agree with Nick that Yelmic families would find themselves forced to reply to a dart war challenge. Of course, a Yelmic family could also be quite Lunarized, and thus able to see a drat war from many different viewpoints.

According to Greg, the Alkothi do not relish dart wars. Coflict among Alkothi houses is open and usually violent - fellow Shargashi deserve nothing less!
