please think about Relic: What is this? At least this is more than Black Stone of Al Kaba. I think RW fundamental Theists revered Sense of Ear Hearing, Singing, Sacred Choir as Protestantism, Muslim instead of Sense of Eye. Please read Max Weber "Religion of Judea": he said Ancient Age Prophets are auditory hallucinationaries, not Visionary. Music is not Idol in some sense.

Otherworldly Perspective

Anaxial Roster of course I don't see, But IMHO, God Plane order Conjunction is whether Great Crack or Hard Slope between Barbarian Belt and Malkioni.

"I'm interested in Now Hot Border of Fronelan-Carmania". Difference between Christianism (Islamism) and Malkionism: Many Felster Eclecticians (Gene Wolfe's Artificial Word?) cannot delete repeatedly Enforcers' Heroplane. Today Rokali, Tomorrow Stygian.

Malkioni Constallations and Stars:
Ehilm: Sun, False God (Once Mortal)
Worlath: Broken Ring, FG
Humct: Sword Stars Constallation, FG

Waertag: Boat Star
Arkat: Dove Constallation, Dark Prophet Emperor Yelorna: only Ralios, Lightfore

If I can use Socratic Dialectic:
What is Civilization? How we can get Enough Power? Or how we are fated as it is? Hen or Egg? What is Most Civilized Gloranthan Culture other than like Trollish Uz Supersonic Culture? Magical World affords Extreme. And almost everything is possible if we can operate Resources.

Nick Brooke?:

Martin Laurie:

IMO, Romanakrin Idea is fundamentally AntiGodlearnism Fronalakino  and disdained Mandane World Tendency to That Age: Syranthir Sironder Anabasis. Easternish (Gnosticism) (Disdain to flesh as Roman Catholic?) appeared, Carmanos arranged this Idea to Zoroasterish Dualism once more. (AFAIK Enclosure 1 description)

Manichaesm is not Zoroasternism.

I think pro-Arkat sect, anti-Lunar sect is still survives as anti-Arkat, proLunar-Nysalorian and they can become Eclecticians as illumination idea gives them such ability to ignore Will of Gods. Some Nysalorian can cancel Magical circumstance even as nature of Law. Lie and Truth dualism and Light and Darkness dualism intermingled. Mysticism and Logic, Spirit and Mind crash in Middle of Carmania.
I think Talor (he was once dead as Arkat, rescued by lightbringer quest) was once friend of Harmast, and betrayed this alligiance as Arkat did, (or more worsely broke friendship and killed Harmast!) I cannot harmonize Talor's crazy laughing image to feudal courtesy of Europian Knightship.
