>> You might as well call Shargash a degenerate form of Storm worship.

>Shargash is not storm; he is much much more than just that. He is a sky
god not
>an air god like Orlanth. He is a planet. He is death, war, devouring,
rebirth,
>growth, fighting, anger, thunder...
>
>It can be argued that Orlanth is a degenerate form of Shargash as Orlanth
has
>thunder and some death and growing, fighting but not the rest of it. Of
course,
>don't try to tell an Orlanthi that.

>>>1) If you put a candle in a jar and seal the jar, what happens?
>
>> Nothing, the candle would continue to burn. Fire is a completely
>> separate element from air so I can find no reason why the fire would
>> be dependent on air. According to the popular creation myth,
>> Air/Storm was the child of Fire/Sky and the Earth, so why should
>> fire be dependent on its child? Of course, we could always invent
>> a mythological explantion why it is so, but as of now, I can find
>> no reason for fire being dependent on air.
>
>
>
> Interesting concept. I think I would do the same. However, how to
> extinguish a fire ? Putting a linen or something on it should not be
> enough as no air is needed ? Only water or spell could work ?
>
>
>
>>>2) If you put a fish in a bottle of water without any plants and seal the
>>>bottle, what happens?
>
>>Again I would say that nohing would happen until the fish starved to
death.
>>Fish are the descendants of Golod, the Fish Father, and Tholaina, the
Queen
>>of Beasts, daughter of Triolina, grandchild of Zaramaka, the primal
waters.
>>Tholaina's father was Hykim, God of Animals, whose exact ancestry I am not
>>aware of, but GOG (Prospaedia) says that he is "reputed to be [a son] of
>>the earth and a dragon". Anyway I detect no air connections for the
fishes.
>>Additionally, there is no air in the water, is there? Water is a pure
>>element, the fish is a creature of the waters, the fish has water in the
>>bottle. Unless the fish pollutes the water with its wastes, the big
probelm
>>is the lack of food in the bottle.
>
>
> "You're right" would say a Tholaina priest ! "A fish needs water, not
> air ! Try removing a fish from the water and let it on the ground,
> where there is plenty of air but no water. It will die soon !"

> Does anyone have any ideas

>All unenchanted metals slowly rots, since they are Dead now that Stone
