No, I wouldn't think so. Zzabur is a special case (I'm assuming). Besides, most of the "continental sects" don't seem to think highly of Zzabur. As to the IG being the "center of creation," I just wanted a geometrical analogy. Do you have a better one? The circle whose circumfrence is everywhere and whose center is nowhere seems evocative.

Are there Gloranthan sects (i.e. not sorcerors) which consider the IG essentially knowable? I though the point of Solace and Joy is that they were progressive approaches to the (unreachable for most, if not all) IG.

Hmmm. I thought that there was some essential difference between the EWF and Kralori "draconism," with the EWF being a sort of draconic misapplied worship. Or worship that went horribly wrong in some fundamental way, at any rate. Thanks for the rest of the details.
