Nick Brooke mentions all the Good Stuff in the four-years-old, six-issues-
ago Sea Special that I'd managed in classic fashion to forget about, and:

And there was Much Rejoicing! (Nearly back up to being a "periodical",
by Chaosium's definition, at least in a Good Year.)
> Wyrms Footnotes, p.74: "The Forms of Orlanth"
Oh yeah, that. I grant you that it could imply any number of things
The spin I'd put on those more extreme cases, without the benefit of
about Your Local Orlanth (or Orlando, or Worlath, or Erlandus...), but I
presume that the latter part wasn't intended to apply in modern-day DP.
knowing in more detail what's being referred to, is that they're at
least more typically caused by breakdown in "diplomatic relations"
between the different "aspect priesthoods", rather than a squishing
together of wholly alien cults. If this ever gets to the point
where, as it were, reciprocal recognition of each others' initiates
ceases to be, then yes, you have Actual Separate Cults.

Merely "less", young Nicolas, merely "less". You're sure you're not
using the "the 60's started in 1964" definition here, though?

Well, I only said I _liked_ them; whether this is despite or because of
them being up in the top left of the map is quite another story. Besides,
if anyone has an Impale with a 3D6 damage bonus coming to 'em, it has
to be those Holier than Thou Loskalmi. No, I take that back; if anyone
does, it's a Grotaron PC.
Vindictively.
Alex.
