RuneQuest Daily: Stream spirits and River Gods
Stream spirits and River Gods
What? Who said that streams don't have spirits. What about the Zola
Fel? Many other river spirits and gods are described too.
Thinking about the Zola Fel brings up an interesting question. Being
a river, it exists on the normal plane, but being a god, it is also on
the god/hero plane. By expanding this, we can see the Zola Fel on ALL
planes, but in a different form, I guess.
Now for my question: which rivers are gods, and which are spirits? I
would guess that the more worshippers, or the larger the river, the
better chance it has of being a god.
By this definition, all Gods are really just powerful spirits that
gain additional power from their worshippers, and the
mundane/spirit/hero/god planes are really different parts of the same
place. We 'digest God-Learners' just have trouble understanding the
concept.
