ObGlorantha: This started me thinking about expansive identities rather than the traditional exclusive identities. Obviously the Lunars are a good example of the former, seeking to portray any mythical or historical identity that might have had some higher awareness as being a fully fledged Lunar. Loskalm might be another example in labelling Malkioni personages that embraced meritocratic attitudes as being precursors of the New Hrestoli Church.
