Benedict:
<< How accurate is the equation Black Moon = Gerra = suffering = Danfive
Xaron?>>
The Entekosiad makes it clear that Gerra is the goddess of the Black
Moon. Specifically, she is associated with the Dying Moon phase, which happens
to be the same phase as Danfive Xaron. So the equation looks pretty safe.
<< A related question: does anyone worship Gerra? >>
Yes. Her cult isn't very large though - it only has 1000 initiates in
<<Is the account of Gerra worship in Entokosiad (sp?) historical, or Travel
total, almost all of them in Carmania. Her temple is marked on the map in
TotRM#16; its probably her only one, athough she has shrines dotted about in
numerous temples to the Red Goddess and her other associates.
Her cult is small for two reasons. Firstly, there isn't really an awful
lot of attraction in joining a cult for flagellants, especially when the cult
of Danfive Xaron offers a much better career path for the majority of people
with those sorts of interest. Secondly, initiates tend to expire messily and
painfully during the High Holy Day rituals which tends to keep the numbers
down.
and Journey?>>
Both, I suspect.
Forward the tenebrous Black Army!
