Well, I finally obtained a copy of TR, and soon realized that I don't
have a very sharp grasp of the relationships between aspects of a god
and subcults of those aspects. Since most of the discussions along
these lines occurred before I had read the relevant text, I'll just ask
the questions that I have now, and apologize if they've been answered
before. Some or all of them probably have obvious answers.
- Minar decides that he wants to be an initiate of the Orlanth
Adventurous subcult of Ormalaya the Hunter, giving him the Affinities
of Hunting and Movement. Does he also get the Orlanth Adventurous
Affinities of Combat and Movement? Or does he become an initiate of
both the aspect and the subcult? Would his Movement affinities be
combined?
- Minar's brother Morgan decides to initiate to Niskis the Lover,
which provides the Affinities of Sensuality and Movement, and Finovan
the Raider, which provides Raiding and Combat. Both are subcults of
Orlanth Adventurous; are they considered to be members of Orlanth
Adventurous, too?
- Their brother Magan decides to join the OA subcult of Vanganth the
Flyer, with Flight and Movement affinities, and also the Orlanth
Thunderous subcult of Daylanus the Conquering Wind, which provides the
Affinities of Fight Elements and Wind. What is his relationship to OA
and OT? Does he receive any of their affinities?
- Minaryth, the father of Minar, Magan, and Morgan, is a Devotee of
Helamakt the Fighting Storm, an OT subcult. He has the Combat and
Storm affinities; does he also get Storm and Wind through OT? Is he
considered an Initiate of OT, or is his status with that cult something
else?
- Minaryth's brother Miran is a Devotee of Orlanth Adventurous, but
doesn't belong to any particular subcult. Is this uncommon, or is it
discouraged?
Thanks in advance for any insights. Sorry if I'm retreading old
territory.
