A few of us have been playing the 'hunt for all the information on a topic' game. A grazelander is returning home during the Sacred Time, and we need to work out more information.

Here's our big question:
The gods of the Grazelanders include a Jardan the Warrior, whose master warriors are called the Golden Bow (KoS p. 108). Now the grazelanders are apparently the remains of the Pure Horse People who were all but defeated just outside of Pavis by a combined force of praxian nomads (the Battle of Alavan Argay). Prior to this battle, the Pure Horse people also suffered a loss to the Trolls, where their War God (Golden Bow) was crushed (KoS 193). RoC also mentions this.

Does this mean they worship a Dead God? We are currently feeling that the other Grazelander deities, particularly Pole Star, are making up for the Golden Bow/Jardan's loss, and it is one reason for the success of Hiia Swordsman, a vendref hero cult that is gaining in popularity.

Oh, are we going to have a 'most used KoS' contest at RQCon? Neil Robinson | "Never underestimate the power of human nrobinso@sirius.uvic.ca | stupidity." - L. Long 2996 Dysart Rd. Victoria B.C.
