Peter, David, Nick in various responses to my query on Rune 'ownership'.
Whoof! Lots of biggo issues came up with that lot. That's what I like to
see. :-)
Thanks, your views were helpful, especially on the various explanations of
Lunar attitudes.
I was of course talking from a God Learner point of view, though I was a
little unclear about that myself. Anyway, the question, rephrased in this
light, is I suppose: What would a God Learner perceive as the result of
this conflict [on whatever scale it might be taking place - as you said
Nick: it's debatable - or did you mean something else by that? :-)] in
terms of the 'ownership' of runes and the powers that go along with them?
Fortunately, you've quite comprehensively answered this question from a
number of angles.
Still, I'm intrigued by the idea of the end of the Wind in Sartar when
Whitewall falls. (mentioned in a lot of John Hughes' stuff). I take this as
a phenomenon relating to the mythical attack on Orlanth. It may be only a
localised phenomenon (as other Orlanthi in other parts of the world perhaps
do not experience the stilling of the Wind). But then again, perhaps not...
Maybe it's just the wind god drawing his breath for the final big exhale
which will blow those stinking Lunars right back home (and trap them
inside, hiding from the smelly breath of an old but powerful god). :-)
Pax.
