Maybe this question has been raised before, but I've been thinking
a bit about Chalana Arroy. She's the holder of the Harmony rune, correct?
So why is she only a goddess of healing? It seems Harmony means quite a bit
more than that. Chalana Arroy ought to be concerned with maintaining
harmony on many levels: harmony of the body (healing, fighting disease),
harmony of the mind (therapy (or what passes for it in a magical bronze age
society) and combatting excessive passions), harmony of society (friction
within and between families, clans, etc.). A role as diplomats doesn't seem
entirely out of line, especially given that her followers are protected to
a degree by their pacifism. All of which might get them out of the rut of
