<< I'm absolutely sure that at least one of the 7 Mothers would have been
familiar with the Lightbringer mysteries, probably Irripi Ontor. To hell
with this
revisionism, I *like* the idea of IO being an "Outlaw Priest of Lhankor
Mhy", as opposed to a retconned Yuthuppan Seer. >>
I had Irripi Ontor as Yanafal's Vizir, a Magi. With the Carmanians having a 'brute band of gods' I had Irripi as a Vizir who specialised in Lankhor Mhy worship, although they called him something else. I certainly had him as a Carmanian. However, as that Empire covered most of Peloria, it is reasonable that he could have come from anywhere within it. I never thought that he was a Buserian or any sort of Yelmic scholar. Of course within my vision of the Seven Mothers I see Yanafal as the Fire, Danfive as the Ice and Irripi as the Luke Warm Water. Clearly, She Who Waits plays Drums, or something.
<< It could have well been that IO was originally a priest of LH from
Tarsh/Saird who became Illuminated, studied sorcery, went north and became a
Buserian. That's the great thing about Illumination...it's so
great at reconsiling *contradictions*, and a great case can be made for IO
organizing
the whole Red Goddess conspiracy from beginning to end. >>
