>>Maybe the fact that Chaos was destroying the world?
>And he found this out how? By Ernalda disappearing, perhaps?
If the only way he noticed the Greater Darkness was by his wife disappearing, Orlanth is a self-centered moron. Are you saying that if the Greater Darkness had merely destroyed everything except Orlanth and Ernalda he would have done nothing? PLEASE explain, how is an objective person to interpret the fact that he did nothing until his wife disappeared? It sure seems like he didn't care till he himself was bothered.
And Storm Tribe (and related books), one of the sources you cite, states that he went on the quest to rescue Ernalda. And has all the "evil emperor" references. You have disproved nothing. In fact, there is shockingly little about the actual LBQ in there. Most of the material about he and Yelm actually making peace is from earlier material.
Look, you (or presumably Greg, I don't want to pick on you) explicitly added this completely new Ernalda twist. And it really makes Orlanth look very bad. I'm not complaining cause I hate Orlanth and want to put a bad spin on everything he does. I'm complaining cause I used to admire Orlanth back in RQ2 days, and the new material removes most of the reasons for that admiration.
