A bit of bald God Learnerism struck me; can we associate our RW "deadly
Darkness - Gluttony
sins" with Gloranthan Elemental Runes? Consider:
Water - Sloth
Earth - Lust
Fire/Sky - Wrath
Air/Storm - Pride
Moon - Envy?
? - Greed
Greed might belong to Earth, but Envy doesn't quite go with Moon.
As Moon is a late-arriving Element, perhaps a new sin should be associated
with it, such as Inconstancy or Sophistry (or are those sins associated
with the Digest?). I know it's a force-fit, but that's what God Learners
do best.
