No, I am saying Ernaldans deserve respect because they have a lot of magical power and they worship one of the primal gods of Glorantha. And if you are playing Heroquest or Pendragon Pass, you no longer are using a rules system that only models violence or success/failure with skills and should be able to create dramatic tension around events other than smashing things.
