<< Could it be that minotaurs are nandanic by nature? I always visualize them

males (though there are also cows). And could it be, that these big

What do you people think? >>
I like it. I too picture Minotaur as male. Female Minotaurs with great big udders would probably look silly. I'm not sure they are all devotees of Nandan. Indeed, I am not entirely sure that this would be the 'true' story in my Glorantha but it has merits.
BTW I also like the concept of a 'family'/'bloodline'/'household*' of
Nandaners.
*(string me up for inappropriate use of any of these terms). In Glorantha
though I am led to believe that humans who take up the worship of Darkness to
too gtreat an extent will become trolls so I wonder what the end result of
too much Nandaning would be?
Finally, I agree with Philip Hibbs (I think) who cannot see the use of Nandan as a PC cult. Until we get some 'must give birth to save the day' scenarios (which are certainly not impossible) written h remains an oddity. An oddity that could be fun though. I don't think anyone suggested there being Nandans in every clan. I would put them on a level of a couple (or perhaps the weird family) in the whole of Dragon Pass.
