Yelm You really should ask on the glorantha list. But there is a Yelm RQ writeup out there and when I get home I'll try and post it to you if I've got it in electronic form. But it is meant to be for nobility, which means Lunar Darra Happan nobility, which is a big (thousands) group of people, but not many of them would go to Prax except with an entourage. Yelmalio is a very suitable sungod warrior cult. ===== - --- Kantor Rythmeiger Late of the Sea Isles Spear for Hire ____________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

From my perspective, I'm happy with the motives/actions of dragonewts being bizarre and incomprehensible. Perhaps there are members of the GD that have completely assimilated the mental set of a 'newt, but I doubt they'd explain it in a way I'd be able to understand...

Assuming that they didn't die near their egg, yes (hmm, I have a sneaking suspicion that this belongs more on the Glorantha Digest, where after hundreds of megabytes and much fierce flaming it will be determined that dragonewts in fact are neither dragons, nor newts, but are instead mammals which in every way are exactly the opposite of what we poor fools *thought* they were). >But what happens to the dead body? Does it >vanish? No. It stays where it was. >Does it decompose like any other dead creature? The bodies of dream dragons decompose by slowly vanishing, over a period of hundreds or perhaps thousands of years. But since those are merely (merely?) dreams, and dragonewts are physical, my understanding is that dragonewt bodies decompose normally -- unless someone interferes with the process, for example by removing their skin, tanning it, and turning it into armor. Of course, that sort of behavior is bound to make a dragonewt cranky. :-) By the way, on a completely different subject: I should note that both the Chaotic Features and Found Items sections of the Chaos Project on my site are within a few entries of 100 items each.
