Would other Malkioni churches think the Atroxics were heretics if they did
know a little (or a lot?) about them?
/// Depends which sect we're talking about, but the two Big Ones (rokari and
irensavalists) would mark them as heretics. Come to think of it, so would
many henotheists.
In MRQII the Atroxic Church seems to be a special sect that is equivalent to the RW Inquisition. They work(ed) for the True Malkioni Church (Main religion of Imperial Seshnela/Justela) being used as secret enforcers/dart compeditors/assassins.
In MRQII Arolanit seems to be the bread basket of Seshnela, 700 years later in RQ3 there are 190,000 Brithini in Arolanit - my how they bred? At it like rabbits they were.
In MRQII the Esvulari were a Dawn Age irreligious people in eastern Seshnela & Maniria, that become a sect of Malkioni. In Tradetalk #12 they are distant cousins of the Orlanthi of Dragon Pass, which incorporated malkioni migrants, and evolved into the Aeolian Church.
I greatly appreciate the work that went into the MRQ books, and the learning curve to understand 30 years of evolving Glorantha. I intend to cut and paste whatever adds to the enjoyment of my game, and to dismiss these sort of queries by my players with the old chestnut - x source are the opinions of y culture but z culture has a different take on it. But it would be good to have an answer for each of the above. Which I suppose brings me to the question as to how Canon is MRQI & MRQII?
Cannot wait to get my hands on this Harrek Saga. But I have just one request. Please just start it off with: "So your floating out into the ocean on a giants cradle when.". My players still have terrible memories of THAT adventure, and as they are getting on now, I would like to have a good chance of getting them to the table.
Cheers
Sean
