Earth Goddesses:
Trotsky agrees with me that Earth Goddesses come in threes, then
asks about the missing sister for Babs and Voria. Let me add to the
"three sisters" pattern that the eldest sister is the one who goes mad
and embraces Death, the youngest is the Earth Queen of the next
generation, and the middle one fails (from the Earth POV) in some
lesser way, but is still useful. Given that pattern, I'd suggest that Vinga
is the missing sister (useful to have around, but not much cop as an
Earth goddess).
The missing sister to Asrelia and TKT could be any (local?) earth goddess who became much less important, or even dead, after the Darkness, perhaps?
Oh, and "Gata" is short-hand for whichever goddess has the Earth Queen hat on at the time in question.
Tricksters:
In my newly-started campaign (the one with the ducks in it), I have a
PC who seems to be about to become a Trickster initiate: and he's
only partway through his Orlanth initiation! (Currently off chatting to the
Second Son, will do the "Initiation of Orlanth" next. The rest of the
players (and the clan) do not know about his Trickster connections,
though I have one of the players primed to do a Bondsman's Oath on
him if needed. Any suggestions, advice, thoughts on the wording of the
Bondsman's Oath, etc? In particular, how much use will it be for a
newly initiated 15-year-old to have the twit Bonded if a Sword of
Humakt wants the Trickster dead?
