	That's a nice idea. I'll have to think about how that might work in a scene. Thanks!  
	Other ideas are still welcome. Is it just me, or has the list gone very quiet? Are we all huddled by our doors waiting for Guide to Glorantha to arrive?

Their initiation has been described elsewhere. Maran Gor chooses from among the girls who don't sleep. Vinga chooses some of the others, and likewise Babeester Gor (who was born during Ernalda's Sleep). When threatened by a Chaos thing in the Godtime, those drawn to Maran Gor probably cause the earth to swallow it up.
