Urox and Storm Bull

        Urox and Storm Bull are two different paths. They, ultimately, join up. What matters in play is not the entities, but the path - the detailed means of interaction with the otherworld. There are plenty of examples in Glorantha of multiple practices that, while different, invoke

        For that matter, I think a Storm Bull and an Uroxi can, in some circumstances, be in the same place in the Otherworld and it is native ground for both of them.

        I'm with Greg, I'm afraid, on this one. Though its probably true that the currently understood Storm Bull mythology has undergone considerable change from the Praxian version.

        And I wish he didn't believe in it quite so fervently, as Greg creates an awful lot of things that cross the boundaries, while still claiming its an absolute rule. Greg is, however, master of the ability to believe contradictory things simultaneously.

        I believe, for example, that all this stuff about Storm Bull being special because of the Eternal Battle falls more in the category of dodgy Retcon to support the official truth rather than deep Gloranthan secret.
