You don't know that's anything to do with magic, though. For example, I
zenodize every evening, just before restatilizing my zur. No magic is
involved (but the zur gets grumpy if I'm not zenodized before I attempt =
to
restatilize it).

First up, I can't think of any reference to AA worshippers having to do anything special with hyena parts. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
This was debated ten years ago on this list's predecessor, BTW: try =
googling
(www.google.com) for "Etyries Genert hyena" for the story so far... in =
1994,
I wrote this:
:: Issaries/Etyries/Genert. How come, if the priest in CoP was Etyries, :: he had to fulfil an Issaries curse? Is this God Learner monomything :: imposing equality of Etyries and Issaries? Or real proof that Etyries :: is a daughter of Issaries, and thus bound by his strictures? Or what? :: Any answers, anybody?

For convenience, I'd assume the Etyries priest in question (the chap
Biturian Varosh encountered in Corflu) had at some previous point in his
career heroquested to "prove" a relationship between Etyries and =
Issaries
(cf. David Dunham's post last digest). These things cut both ways. The
alternative (that Etyries priests are tied to some weird myth they've =
never
heard of) is way too confusing for me.
