> Joerg B. coins the noxious barbarism Luxites.
Sorry, this honour goes to Greg. I just used the name of the heavenly hosts given in The Glorious ReAscent of Yelm.
Since it is a Dara Happan term, I think "degenerate urbanism" fits better than "barbarism"...
> Please, Joerg, stop it!
Luxites! Luxites!
(instead of "Ni!")
> Argh! Then he goes on to ask some reasonable questions:
>> Sandy has a whole group of entities called Shanasse. So far, this >> name meant Aldrya's lover/husband to me. >> Is the Wood Lady's husband connected to these (apparently lesser) >> Luxites?
> Please don't use the word "Luxite" again.
Luxite! <g>
>> Don't the Luxites make up the main part of Dayzatar's sky realm >> inhabitants and followers?
> "Shanasse", please.
Among which culture? King Lux's (aka Arraz's) followers?
GRoY p.7:
"The ordinary affairs of the sky world were overseen by Arraz. He was
king of the Luxites, who are the denizens of the heavenly realm. They
are sometimes called Angels, or Heavenly Host. They are the Sky People,
and servants of Heaven."
GRoY p.19: (following Dayzatar's statement of leaving, quoted below)
"The heavens were filled with many groans and cries for this message
dismayed the Luxites who had always followed Dayzatar and done whatever
he did."
GRoY p.77:
"Luxites. Denizens if the Sky Realm, sometimes called Angels or Sky
People; ruled by Arraz."
>> The Lightfore myth: What had happened to Lightfore?> was even published -- at the time I (and Greg) wrote it, we'd planned
> Beats me. The Dayzatar cult I published dates from before GoG
Some questions:
What made you change your mind?
How many cults (and which) are still in cold storage?
(The ones which have been published since are
Yelmalio (Sun County)
Orlanth, Storm Bull, Daka Fal, Chalana Arroy, Issaries, Lhankor Mhy, Zola
Fel (River of Cradles),
Yelm, Gagarth, Humakt, Maran Gor, Magasta, Mostal, Lodril, Pamalt, Uleria,
Donandar (Tales, White Wolf, Different Worlds).
> Maybe Lightfore is a Pent belief, not a Dara Happan one.
Isn't. He appears in the important role of announcer of the sun.
Dayzatar says (according to Plentonius) upon his departure from the sky: "The World is changed. Even the sky is now touched with putrescence. The Pure Light is not. Now is the time I mus fulfill my own prophecy and seek Lightfore, who has been gone since he departed from here. [...]" (GRoY p.19)
And Lightfore reappears according to Plentonius when the new sun rose in 111,111 YS (111 ST), when he rides Kargzant, the old sun.
