In my own fronelian campaign (because I had to answer all theses questions in my own twisted way), under each fronelian political entity lies a piece of the God of Silver Feet.
Each missing part of the GoSF is influencing the land in a different way :
_ his brain is under Sog and increases the learning, magical and
philosophical capacities of its inhabitants ;
_ his spinal column increases the unity of Loskalm ;
_ his tongue is under the city of Perfe (which inhabitants in my own
Glorantha have the ability to speak all langages)
_ his eyes under Southbank (which inhabitants in MoG are masters in
etiquette, perfomance...)
_ his lungs under the storm tribes of Oranor
_ his everbleeding and everpierced heart in the Black Forest (the pain
caused to this everdying god by the spear of destiny piercing his
heart is the source of the warlike madness of the Kingdom of War)
_etc.
And Snodal (in my point of view) is Lord Death on a Horse, his soul cursed for ever by his evil murder.
For the french-speaking onlookers, here are the messages on the french glorantha-list where I've developped my theories : http://fr.groups.yahoo.com/group/Glorantha_VF/message/7794.
All these theories are totally unofficial...
But I wonder : is there official information about :
1) the origine of the God of Silver Feet ? 2) the ritual performed to kill him ? 3) the Black Forest ? 4) the Spear of Destiny ?
