But where does Mastakos come in? This is Orlanth's feat, after all.

Since the "sunset" part in the name starts one wondering about the solar connection, and because mastakos doesn't follow the sunpath all the way, but leaps back east when he reaches the point of "sunset"

Apparently that is intuitive to some people, and totally strange to others. :)
