I play in a Lunar campaign and we come across "part of Gabji" that we
have to deal with (as evil). Now I find I'm not sure I understand
how we, as Lunar's are likely to see them.
The posts I've seen say that these are not parts of Nysalor, so that
Gabji wasn't Nysalor who had been corrupted by Arkat(?). So the view
is that Arkat, in his drive to destroy Nysalor, became first a Troll
and then became a monster called Gabji? Is this the Gabji that the
Red Moon Goddess defeated in her goddess quest?
