[Glorantha] Re: Quick Question

Malk,

I don't think that Zorak Zoran and Dark Eater are the exact same thing. They may be the same underlying entity, but will be completely different experiences for ordinary Gloranthans. I'd say that Morokanth worship Dark Eater to get magics that do not include any of Zorak Zoran's fire or zombie powers, for example. For Praxians, Storm Bull fills much of the mythic role that ZZ fills for Trolls. I doubt that trolls would find much familiar about the Dark Eater ceremonies that Praxians peform. There would be virtually no overlap in myths and stories. However, your intrepid heroes could certainly find the connections on the heroplane.

The Praxians do know of trollkin. They probably call them little dark men or maybe dusk men as a play on words.

I doubt there are more than a handful of Praxians who know anything sognificant about troll gods. The ones who spend some time in Pavis could find out that they worship the big troll mother. The rhinos probably have some old lore about how to fight trolls because of their invasion of Dagori Inkarth. Received on Fri 14 Jul 2006 - 18:16:58 EEST
