>And in a localised form, like the Three Feathered Rivals
(as far as I'm aware, I was too young for Nomad Gods, and am really
clueless on Prax),.
.But I'm perhaps not best keen on a wider notion of an Elemental
Progression being suggested as a deeper 'truth'. Simply because (a)
in some areas I'm interested in, it goes against trends of myth and
just doesn't quite work; and (b) it can seem a simplistic and
limiting depiction of what is far more varied, fluid and vibrant: a
bit Top Trumps Myth.
.This is exacerbated for me, as I'm a 'small picture' man. I don't
really have any great thoughts on the structure of Gloranthan myth,
the Otherworlds, &c. as a whole (and to be honest I'm not especially
interested). Everyone's own particular mix -- obviously -- can be
quite different, as I've discovered on the lists, at Tentacles, and
elsewhere.
Ah Stu, but you managed to discover Jaldon Goldentooth summoning the elements and the "progression" of such and involving "deeper truths". Let's not mention fluid and vibrant again, eh. And "small picture" resonates well with me.
The minor wound is healed and left only a small scar. Thanks for the concern and alerting the others who duct-taped me back together and put me in bed.
It seems Stu found me "reflecting" on the amount of alc I'd drunk the last night of Tentacles. A great con - we'll do it again!
