<< I always thought of that as a bit of Lunar propaganda. The Lunars, because of their Dara Happan traditions, assume that cities are important for ALL gods. This is a mistake, in the case of barbarians and nomads. To a Dara Happan, the fall of the last city that freely worships Orlanth is a key event, implying defeat of the god itself. >>
The boardgame, Dragon Pass, was clearly written by Dara Happans then, as the victory conditions (in the full game) depend on the number of occupied cities.
I think John Hughes gave the best account of how to handle the binding of Orlanth, several hundred gests ago.
