I'm preparing the Gloranthan section of my site, and I was wodnering if
anyone could provide me on the extant material concerning the spirit known
as Firshala who appears in Griffin Mountain. I only had been able to get my
hands on AH's Griffin Island. (blech, retch) and haev my scant info about
the fire-spirit from their. I created my own Shaman cult from the scant
details contained therein, basically creating a small witch-cult for
Orlanthi Hillwomen...My Firshalan fire-witches worship a minor fire deity
who is the daughter of Lodril and Ernalda and provide dangerous fire powers
to Orlanthi or Praxian women who are brave enough to follow her. In
Godtime, my Firshala was a lover of Orlanth who rebelled against the Sky
Gods and was one of the Burtae ("Young Gods".) I'm also getting ready an
Odayla cult in RQ3 format which I think folks will like. When I get done
writing it, "Two Thunders", where Shargash meets Orlanth (!), should be up
on the site as well.
Any info from Griffin Mountain would be appreciated. It seems that my
version of Firshala may be an appropriate cult for the wilds of Balazar as
well.
By the way, is the word "Burtae" a Theyalan term, a God-Learner/Malkioni
import word, or from another source?
