The Orlanthi claim she survived the rigorous examination by the assembled deities of the Great Compromise, and by doing so created a wound in the universe by which Chaos can now enter.

        Ah, yes, the totally unbiased Orlanthi say that, effectively, she was tested to prove she was part of the Great Compromise, and she passed, so she must have cheated.

	I've never heard Lunars sources really talk about the idea of Great Compromise either positively or negatively. It doesn't even really sound like how the Dara Happans would describe it either - they talk about it as when the Rebel Gods finally acknowledged that Yelm was right all along.
