>> Re: Humakti having an "aura" of Death & Chalana Arroy
If powerful Humakti can cause small plants to die, etc...,
as was suggested, do powerful CAs cause more pregnancies
near them? Faster healing? <<
Being around certain powerful healers has been noted to cause a sense of
well being, of contentment and a feeling of being at peace. Whether this
actually assists natural healing is a debatable effect. You do, however,
feel less inclined to start arguments.
Nils wrote the following reponse to a question about the LBQ being the
pinnacle for Orlanth, CA, LM and Issaries.
>> An important thing yes, pinnacle no. CA, LM & I are the sidekicks in
the LBQ. Their main, defining myths should be about them primarily. <<
Sidekicks, indeed. Hurrumph :)

>> As the LBQ is such an important myth, i think CA, LM and I have their own
versions of the myth, where Orlanth is but a sidekick. The traditional
Orlanth-version doesn't say what the other Lightbringers did when O had his
argument with the Emperor. No doubt the LMs know that what LM did, and that
it was absolutely crucial to the success of the quest. The same goes for CA
and I as well. <<
I thought it was a shared myth where each had their moments of triumph and
their failures. Its telling at combined ceremonies should reflect this. At
the individual temples they no doubt concentrate more on that deity, but
still praising the merits and necessary failings of the others. The
possible exception about this is Eurmal. One of the Eurmal versions of the
Lightbringers quest should have the rest of them being his sidekicks.
Guy Hoyle asks for Glorantha terms rhyming with Boy
Chalana Arroy (But I don't honestly know how this is going to fit in the
Wild Glorantha Boy). Perhaps a 'cunning ploy' or a 'sword made of a godtime
alloy' might help.
