"Destix appears, to the materialists, to be a tiny body which radiates darkness and which revolves around the Lunar body. Where its influence falls upon the Lunar surface the light is cancelled, making it dark."
Now that implies pretty strongly that it's influence does not _just_ fall upon the Lunar surface.
You would have thought that something that can blot out the moon would have _some_ effect on Glorantha, at, say, dawn or dusk.
Anyway...

I didn't say that. Trotsky answered my first post by saying Yelm wouldn't, but Nick answered on the assumption, ISTM, that Yelm would. What do _you_ think's the case?

Me? A God Learner? Surely you jest!
Anyway I think Nick didn't reckon heavenly bodies reflected one another. Not sure about Glorantha herself, though. Is Glorantha a heavenly body, though?

Ok, silly me :-)
Lunes:

We shouldn't use them in battle. They belong in libraries.

Me? A White Moonie? Surely you jest!
In any case you are mistaken - Lunes are not a form of violence, they are an attempt to enlighten.

Maybe I should commune with a few Lunes myself :-)
