This is my first of many comments in the digest, so I hope that i get the rules of the game just right. I'm also new to BBs
Lies!! Damned Lies!! As any good BeastRider from the True Wastelands knows, the great Bull of the Storm didn't need to call upon anyone to help Him defeat the Devil. He made the ultimate sacrifice, and tore out His own heart to smash the vilesome Devil into Pulp. His having to call upon his wife's strength and this thing called the Block are just the rantings and ravings of Storm Bull's Little Brother, whom Storm Bull had to rescue from the bowels of Eiritha whem Little Brother got lost looking for the Bright Treasure with his six boon companions. (I'm co-authoring Beastriders of the Wastelands (Prax Pack) with Sandy Petersen, and just wanted to set the record straight from All of Little Brother's whinings and tricks.
2) An incident of Pavis. In the Pavis histories, there is related the story of how a nomad warrior snuck into the Rubble and was lost to the trolls. For several years thereafter, no khan of Prax was able to have children, until a one-armed woman from Tourney Altar rescued the armed corpse. Here is the true story of what happened, worked out several years ago w/ Greg Stafford's contribution.
The warrior went on a quest into the Rubble, with the aim of stealing, as usual, some arcane bit of troll. magic. In order to strengthen himself, he went around to all the Praxian khans, gaining the support and the support of the various clans. This effectively linked their fate w/ his, and his fate w/ them. Unfortunately for the warrior, and thus the khans, he was captured by the trolls, also alerted to this hero-level quest, who tortured him and ATE HIS BALLS IN FROM OF HIM, THIS DEPRIVING HIM (AND THE KHANS) OF HIS VIRILITY. They then ate the rest of teh body, and confined the warrior's soul to one of the trolls' spiritof retribution.
For the next several years, many attempts were made by the Praxians to recover the severed parts of teh warrior, both physically and spritually, BUT ALL ATTEMPTS FAiled miserably. Finally, a one-armed old woman from the Tourney ALtar, approached each of teh affected khans, and berated, humiliated and shamed them by saying: Each of you is a ball-=less, shitless, IMPOTENT, worthless person. ALL of are women are starved for Love because of your pledges, and none of you even have the BALLS to satisfy us anymore. "
With that, she got together the most nubile, horny, warrior women (including those of the Morocanth), snuck over the walls of the Rubble one day when the trolls were less active, and tracked down every physical and spiritual essense of the dead warrior, even those parts consumed by various trolls. In the final act to restore the situation, the dead warrior was reassembled, each of the women took turns mounting him, and thus the Impotence Curse of the khans was broken. Many children were born the following year.
