That is from our recent discussion about the difference between Esrolians (Heortlings) and Lunars for the lawsuit in HW-jp mailing list, if I have a chance, I want to talk some about it.

Yes, I know well. But at least I can say Tolkien's World is older than
yours.
Please see my clumsy post to HW mailing list just before my trip to Venice,
for the reference:
the difference between Joerg and Peter,
they fell to "parallel lines". (In Japanese, it means "The two sides
remained as far apart.")

No, but Joerg might thinks there might be greater change than Peter assume for Joerg thinks Heortling had been "relatively" changed greatly by the intrusion of King Richard Tigerhearted. And Rokari cannot come to Kethaela before the Opening except few coming along the coastline and domains of trader princes.
About Aeolians, see here in Official Site: http://www.glorantha.com/hw/cultlong_aeolus.html Maybe it is changed in HQ rule, isn't it?

What means "simple monotheism"? OK, you'll teach us when HQ is out.
