I'm going to do it this way. If you are not interested, please scroll away.

You remember the Carmanian Destori who killed Garreth?

Since he initiated to Orlanth (from Invisible Orlanth) in 1615 (and in 1989 Real World Time) before I was even aware of Orlanth Adventurous or Orlanth Thunderous, and the player clearly stated many times that his Destori wants to become a Wind Lord (Disciple of Wind), and the Godi that performed the ceremony is an old wheezer, wise but tamed by years, even if called Beldan Stormvoice, but he (Beldan) has currently no clan to refer to (in Horn Gate, 1619 Dark Season), kin yes, clan no, I resolve that:

  1. Beldan initiated the Bindle Carmanian (who has not strong kin or cultural ties that he is aware of to Carmania) from Invisible Orlanth because the Carmanian asked, being in Prax and having nothing better available (and having no sympathy for the Lunar Church) to Orlanth Adventurous. I suppose that a Godi, initiated to Orlanth Thunderous, can initiate to
    (almost) any subcult of Orlanth, especially in the
    Lightbringer shrine of HornGate. OTOH, Beldan didn't tie a kinship with Piotr (the Carmanian).
  2. Piotr (now devotee of Destor and member of Cold Wind, HeroBand of anti-Lunars lead by Argrath Maniskisson and featuring Krogar Wolfhelm as supporting would-be Wind Lord and as co-Patron to Piotr in agreement with Beldan who is too old for the adventurous Destori to give advice to) has no current kinship with the Heortling, but only a remote kin in Carmania. I suppose that Krogar is not a WindLord in 1619 since the discipleship would mean he is constantly monitored by the Empire which conflicts with his (moderately) low-profile attitudes. Does Krogar feature in any future Issaries Book with a definite status, AFAYouK?
  3. Due to campaign reasons, Piotr has met Mosha Thunderhoof, who in Borderlands is a Rhino Rider and a Priest of Orlanth; Mosha is associated to Cold Wind Band (together with other personalities like Akasta Ironspear, late Garreth Sharpsword, Argrath Akastasson-would-be-WhiteBull, Edlaron Menit-would-be-Argrath-Dragonfriend and Arlaten-the-Magus-would-be-Argrath-Arlaten) and has joined a brotherhood of arms with Piotr according to Praxian customs. Mosha is an exceptional Praxian, of course, maybe half-sartarite or half-pygmish since he is a Priest of Orlanth and had Impala friends. In the Orlanth is Dead campaign he will "become" Iskallus Breathes-Free (in 1621, from Barbarian Adventures). So Piotr is now "kin" (according to Heortling/Praxian customs) to Mosha-Iskallus.
  4. Degan Stormson, whom Piotr in the past convinced to flee from his Sun Dome Temple exile, is the witness of Garreth madness and slaying and is Piotr's friend and would-be follower. He is connected to Kallyr via Orngerin and Javern, as in Orlanth is Dead.
  5. Burrasca the White and Durk Jonriksson are likely to become Piotr's allies or followers with their bands, when the time is right; but in any Heortling ceremony, Piotr is called Dragonhelm (his battle name in the Cold Wind organization, since he skinned Krang the Dragon from the Five Eyes Temple) and Kin to Rhinos (due to Mosha's blood pact). This kinship is necessary for story reasons and also to soften the natural suspect a Carmanian Destori can stir in Prax
    (among the Heortlings, not among the Imperials) and
    tomorrow in Sartar/Dragon Pass.
  6. Since Piotr's favourite weapon is a Crossbow
    (unusual for Heortlings, not so for Carmanians) he
    will discover an ancient daimon or hero-cult which will change his Crossbow in his Awakened Servant when
    (and if) he will become a Wind Lord; or will impress
    me with his creativity and boldness (or maybe just because he righteously killed Garreth Sharpsword but I doubt it, as for today).

*Phew* it's over!

Ciao,
Gian
