So, since nothing new ever happens *last* year, last year is now part
of GodTime? And since new things were happening back in the days when
Yelm and Orlanth were competing in various ways, that was chronos time?
At least in those days?
This does end the problem of having to ask Gonn Orta and Androgeus all
sorts of tricky questions about the nature of Time vs time, which is
good (especially if you're Androgeus, being pestered - no wonder Gonn
Orta usually just stays at home, anymore). OTOH, this seems to go
against published HQ rule attempts, which do differentiate between the
effects of changes "made" while questing in 1 ST vs questing two "years"
"before" that.
Not criticizing, just pointing out some consequences. It's not like *I*
wrote any of them, after all.
