In my campaign I stumbled across a following question: What is the reputation of Nysalor among Yelmalio cult, especially Sun County Yelmalions?
My Nysalor/Gbaji cult write-up says (~translation from Finnish)
"Nysalor has a good reputation among many cults (although rarely outside of
Lunar Empire). In a temple of such cult there might even be a shrine to
Nysalor..."
"Sometimes Nysalor-shrines are met within temples of Light, elven (aldryami)
or local deities."
My Sun County -book is not at hand at the moment, but I'm quite sure that
there was no Nysalor shrine in Sun Dome Temple of Sun County. Belvani is
illuminated, but he don't make too much noise about it, so that would
indicate that illuminants are not top-rated in Sun County. In article
"Illumination" in Ian Thomson's website Yelmalio is described to be neutral
towards Nysalor.
Does Arkat's businesses with trolls and conversion to Zorak Zorani have any
effect on attitudes of Yelmalions? Still, even though Arkat turned into
Zorak Zorani during his crusade against Gbaji, that doesn't mean that
Yelmalions should then be
pro-Nysalor -people? Pelorians (Yelm-worshipping) were much fond of Nysalor,
and still have warm feelings, but what does the Yelmalions of Sun County
have in common with Yelmists of Dara Happa anyway?
Most certain is, that riddlers ("strange people asking strange questions") would get most hostile welcome in Sun County, but that is not an answer to the question. As we know, xenophobic Sun County folk are hostile or at least suspicious towards everyone they don't know...
