Which is what I am talking about. I note that the Orlanthi myth does not recognize any previous history between Orlanth and the Goddess. The reason why Orlanth is the prime foe of the Goddess at Castle Blue is because the myth is an Orlanthi one. In the Lunar telling of the conflict (Fortunate Succession), Urox is more prominent.
