Re: Sunset Leap and the Death of Yelm

No criticism intended -- we're definitely on the same page in thinking that a "Sunset Leap" feat belonging to Orlanth would have to have some connection to the murder of Yelm -- but just to clarify for my own Glorantha-newbie peace of mind: I thought that Yelm's descent into Hell after being killed by Orlanth was the *first* sunset ever, that prior to that the Sun sat on his throne constantly and never moved.

Or do you mean to say that Yelm saw Orlanth coming with Death drawn and ready, jumped off his throne and skedaddled off to the west, only to be caught and skewered at (what would soon become) the Gates of Dusk? So the Eternal Noon is broken, and then there's a half-day chase down the Sky (while the mortals and gods below hold their collective breath in confusion and horror) before the actual murder? Now *that* I like.

Yup, that's excatly what I meant. You do put it well though ;-)

I thought Sunset Leap was quite an easy one, as fairly descriptively worded. One of my players has the Rufelza Madness Feat 'Make Sacred', anyone fancy a go at giving that an interesting spin?

It could have something to do with Teelo Estara's fit of madness when she found out who her parents were.
