No, Darudism. Not Daruda. A draconic motif was never in doubt - but
>I can only refer you to "What the Dragon Emperor says" in Gods
Consider me sent to the back of the class!
the question I was asking was essentially how do you distinguish Darudism
in practice from mysticism with all the mystic entities renamed as dragons?
I guess that has been answered - the Five Dragon Warriors and others
certainly show that its not all unmanifest dragon souls (awfully hard to
distinguish from unmanifest enlightened mystic souls with the names
changed), and that indeed the Darudists get down and dirty with manifestly
draconic powers on occasion.
>of Glorantha and the "Dragon Pantheon" article up on glorantha.com.
There are only a couple of problems - there is no 'Dragon Pantheon'
article, and the "What the Dragon Emperor says" article contains so little
on the draconic aspects, that for the majority of the article you can
actually remove the word dragon everwhere and still leave it grammatically
correct. Replace Cosmic Dragon with something like Cosmic Being, and it
works for the whole article.
Cheers
David
