in trend of religious dawning age in the real world, the primitive christian church and the primitive buddhism have view of masclinism and extreme flesh-hatred (by opinion of barbara walker). does that dualism of matter &spirit
comparison with gloranthan pragmatical religion to war & life clear vividly border of two world?

the dead sea scrolls certified
dualism of good &evil under zoroasternism apparently influencing to judea &fundamental christian religion,
 and combination of the former and the latter dualism decorated history with their union, separation and opposition like henotheic manichaesm, gnosticism, catharism and albigenses. never does byzantine iconoclasm exist in glorantha?

an account of uz lore,
 uzko are cursed shows fight of nysalor vs kyger litor in magical realm(there are similarity in orlanth vs shepelkirt in KoS.) imho, aggregated uz-mind kyger litor makes more than group magic mindlink;

in the war before international treaty, civic war at genji&heisi or conflicts of
italian city states at renaissance have spirit world of single combat and chivalry.the gap between this dark-humorous condition and mass combat condition is severe.the oblivion in medieval age to greek & roman mass-combat common tactics and aspect of possibility cutting down the number of cutting head in the mass-magic in peaceful magical world couldnt be forgotten.

what number of dead makes excuse loser?sheng seleris makes hell of his inside hatred to his more-sophisticated environment like genghis khan, lame timur and modernistic age
what cicumstances make all-out war、and slaughter in GlaOranor?

imo, system of mass-combat magic in the variety of war god cult isnt clear enough in RQ rules. fr ex:

single combat control:humakt, shargash, storm bull, zorak zoran, orlanth adventurous, other elder gods

mass combat control:arkat?, kwaratch kang, hwalin darthippa, other lunar gods, polaris, daxdarius, another hoplite star captains

zzabur's blue book(iirc,some references in cofhw) had genealogy as primitive godlearnish demonology? zzabur is strongest wizard and a sence of source wizardcraft of the world greg's lists of seshnelan kings include various orders of sorcery , which have possibility stole this series of art from isle logica.
