Sorry Herve, if I had known your first name I would have used it. I will do so in future.
Who are the Zaranistangi? Westerners of some kind?

/// Grandmother Orfeda moves her childrend to move in mysterious ways. Some go very far, some lose their way. Who knows the purpose of the degenerate goat-sucker in Apple Lane.

Is it possible that the Third Eye Blue cult could be an old-fashioned Blue Moon cult of some kind, with no interest in the Red Moon? /// Indeed it is. It is much, much older than the red upstart.

/// Wow. Hadn't thought about that one. OK, let's think about it. "Kitor" is after all the name Piku and his clan, the first inhabitants of this place, loooong before the carmanians, gave to this place. So "Kitor" is a zaranistangi game. Perhaps the name of one of Orfeda's descendants, who settled the place after Piku ?
Now there is Varoz Kitor, faaaar to the south, who makes an alliance with Uz at the same mythical time maybe. Perhaps he was a lost cousin ? Perhaps he did ally with Uz through the Blue Moon connection ?
