However, Rigsdal, Heler Helamakt, and Issaries Harst are not specified not
to have magic.
Vinga is not mentioned explicitly on p. 43, but I guess that there is no
Vinga magic by virtue of not being mentioned as a Deity With Magic. I
assume similar results for Asrelia and Ty Kora Tek, Babeester Gor,
Minlister, and Nandan.
Donandar is different from other sharers of subcults in that the subcults
are worshipped in addition to, not "under", Donandar (this is a quick and
dirty explanation; please read Donandar's description before correcting me).
My interpretation is that shared subcults of other deities that don't act
like Donandar are immune to the Wind Stop. Therefore, Rigsdal, Heler
Helamakt, and Issaries Harst have magic.
My question is: How did Maran manage to be exempted from the Wind Stop when
everyone else in the family tree on p. ST201 is affected (Gata excepted of
course)?
If I ever run this time period, I will probably exempt Asrelia and Ty Kora
Tek to match Maran's exception, and I will consider exempting the separate
Esrolia worshipped in Esrola.
Thanks,
