After the long waiting nearly one month, my HQ copy was lost (or long delayed), blame UPS system without any tracing method...

Umm, is it official canon from HQ? Perhaps Kralori temples or churches are called "Guan" according to RW taoism temples.

I think Theism and Animism also found among Kralori. In Greg's note,
it seems that Youf used all of three methods. But maybe it was
gregged, or not related to Kralori method.

Many of good Kralori followed Yanoor his death. Maybe they went to false land of dead for kralori, or bound to Middle World without bodies.....
In War in Heaven, Godunya let inner dragons of immanent masters' eat
inside from their body.

Revealed Mythologies mentioned good suggestion to the relationship between Youf and NDR, (and maybe NDR method led Youf downfall...)
