<<YarGan

Bisosae
Lendarshi
Carmanos>>

Five Wendarian Mountains: Chinese Legendary Sacred Five Mountains [E p.44]  1 Jalardo (North): Tarakolos (Brass) Mountains, later, it became the place of refugees from Mount Fire Traditionalists? [p. 51,52]  2 Kagaran (East): As known as Jernalf Hills or Mt. Jernotius where Seven Cliffs of High Gods can be found, center of Mountain Mystics.  3 Gestinus (South): Middle of Yolp Mountain, later, Darjiinians and Trolls occupied this mountains.
 4 Dobur, Dabur (West): Later became the center of Bisosae? [E p.78]

 The article should be edit (03/04/29)
YarGan Arganum
HW 1st Edition Narrator's Book
 Collision of Different Other Sides

 p.114
 "This plainly indicates the collision of the Spirit World and God Plane to start the process of creating Glorantha" (Green Age)

 p.116
 "[God Plane] at this time the first extensive contacts with the sorcery peoples are indicated" (Golden Age)

 I assume collision of YarGan and other more "primitive" entities indicates above the crash of several different other sides, (but I also assume that there is no specific period of Golden Age in Pelandan Mythology....(TI)) And this debate continues to Spolites versus Carmanians and Lunars and Bull Shahs....

Bisos the Bull
Kevin McDonald:
<<The Bisosae might have seen Carmanos as leading a Blue revival. >>

 As Entekosiad p.89-91 hinted and Kevin McDonald assumed, Bull Shahs can be called as successors of Ancient Bisosae who was defeated by Lendarshi in Mythology and Legend, and as Bull Shahs are very important to Lunar Victory and Theology as Antagonist, Kevin overtoned this conflict. (Though Greg wrote much about Carmanians and God Learner doctrine in Enclosure Fanzine....)

 While Peter Metcalph more stresses the conflict in Historical Line as Historical Chronicler and tend to see Carmanos' deed from Wizardry and Mystical Point of View (IMHO, TI)

 Geographic Cataclysm: Creation of White Sea [TR & E], Tork between Jord and Imther [E & Harald Smith's Writing?], maybe as several explanations about the Explosion of Spike [Orlanthi & Zzabur, etc....]

Lenshi Kings and Lendarsh
 Peter Metcalph wrote some about Greg's fragments and treated it to expand his theory about Horse Nomads (while ago when he talked about the article with Jerome Blondel) And see above about "Bull stops Here Battle" if you see Carmanos as a Successor of Lendarsh and so-called Jernotian Cycle of Balance and Harmony, (I think that is the main theme of Entekosiad, that Greek tranquility of Arts derived from tolerance to every foreign cultures and adopts it to their own- on the contrary of Dara Happan Patriarchal Conquests, as Lunar "upstarts" began to use it as their own....)

 While if you assume this mythology of Bastard Horse Nomads (Before Gongarilli Reform [KOS]) is a merely indication of Pelorian History and crush of Different Cultures, it is not so important for the scheme as Kevin's. The problem is, Pelanda and Carmania is too complicated for illustrate and sketch with one hands for so many writers conspire to write about this place, so many groups and cultures. IMHO.

Carmanos:
 Godlearners (Sophist? Lie Fronalako) versus Estrekor Teaching about Iresavel (Socrates? Truth Herodotos' so-called virtue of Persians)

 Groups of Carmanos Age in Oronin Lake?
  Ten Thousands of Loskalm
  Spolite Empire
  Bisosae (so-called Kereusi? in Jhor?)
  Bindle Blue People (allied with Spolite?)   Castle Blue and Veth Ethdisi, Charmain (Vyran)   Godlearners of West
  Pelandan Aborigines
  Harangvats?
  etc......

 Zoroaster -> Carmanos

 Sorcery: Estrekor, Spolite Sorcerers? (YarGan Logicians?)  Theism: Bull Stops Here Battle(Lenshi versus Bisosae), King Oronin's Adamant Crown, Killing Brass Lion and bringing Stone Tablet from Tarakolos (Brass) Mountains.
 Mysticism: Son of Lake Oronin (Goddess Charmain), Jernotian Seven High Gods ->Magi of Idovanus against Lie of GanEstoto
