Or as you suggested about your idea for "Idovanus cult preaches to
barbarians", that the death of "Carmanos" cult might indicate that the
mediator caste exists between rigid magus of Brinnus and other carmanians,
just a vague thought.
My obscure memory of Pelorian Trilogy suggests that under Bull Shahs, that
Yelm was worshipped as Idovanus under conquered tripolis....I don't think
the system of Good God Worship is same in Old day as modern West Reach.
And some one says (Loren or Nick? I can't recall...) that under Dark Shahs, Ganesatarus cult was permitted only under the strict control of the direct descendant of Carmanos, maybe it is similar to the attitude of Red Emperor to Crimson Bat....
