Hi all,

This is a fairly basic question, but one I can't seem to get out of my head -
so I am dumping it on you. ;) I hope I am not treading a worn out path...

In other magical traditions (like Orlanth), there seems to be a relationship
between power and number of worshipers. Only very large temples teach all the
cults spells, ect. I am certainly at risk of playing the godlearner here, but
how do the Arkat "societies" manage in this regard? It seems to me that these
societies are both relatively small and produce heroes. Is Arkatism a mystical
philosophy that is grafted on other cults (Humakt, Malkionism, ect)? This
would make it similar to Nysalorian Illumination, since the practitioners are
both illuminates and members of other cults.

Then again, it might be completely different. Any and all suggestions are
welcome...
