[Glorantha] Debaday

Joerg:

>Who is Debaday, Antigod King of Fozerantu?

When I wrote the Glorantha: Intro section, it was my understanding that the Gorgers of Kimos were the antigod refugees from Fozerantu.

         "When the Thinobutans settled the pennisula
         of Kimos, they found that their old enemies, the
         Gorgers had fled to this land before them."
                 Glorantha: Intro p234.

Debaday is probably a Vithelan name for the Thinobutan Suralavu.

>Was he Suralavo, the Underworld God mentioned in
>Introduction to Glorantha (p.234), in Revealed Mythology
>(p.51) alongside Jakamalu (Jarkartu the Indigo Conqueror)?

I don't think Suralavu has any connection with Jarkadu. Debaday/Suralavu's Pamaltelan empire was north of the Fensi or in the far east. Jarkaru established Kungatu (aka the Artmali Empire) which occupied most of central and western Pamaltela south of the Fensi.

>Debaday was killed by Jesolo and the Golden Fleet early
>in the Dawn Age, and his kingdom drowned.

>Was this when the Flanchite fled the drowned land of Va
>(Men of the Seas p.30)?

Probably.
