Having just returned from a trip to Bashkortostan in Central Russia, I am trying to put together a number of Pentian myths/stories based on Bashkiri Folk Tales (as they are horse nomads their stories seem to fit quite nicely).
In order to make these more Gloranthan in nature, I wonder if anyone else has written any Pentian
stories/myths? In particular, I need to know the following:
1. What is the best word for "Pentian Hero/Knight"? The Bashkiri use "batyr" but if there is a
Gloranthan equivalent I will use that
2. Where is the best place to find Pentian/Redlands mythology/stories? I have looked on the Net
and found very little.
3. Where is the best place to find writeups of Pentian/Redland geography?
4. Has anyone else done any work on Pentian/Redlands stories/mythology/geography?
Anyway, if anyone could help, either as part of the Digest or off-digest at soltakss_at_yaho.com then I would appreciate it.
By the way, only an idiot would have arranged such a trip at the same time as Convulsion, especially as I was going to go to Convulsion this year :-( For goodness' sake, don't ask me which I would have preferred to go to. :"(
See Ya
