Greetings Blue Wizard here.
I see I kicked a bit of debate about Zzabur in the I fought We won. As Joerg corrected me, the battle in the Trollpak was the *unity battle*. I apologize as I was confused by King of Sartar which mentions it as the I Fought We Won in the tale of King Heort. So IFWW is a mythic moment which the God Learners identified with the Final Battle of Mortality. Zzabur may have fought in it and the First Council may have overstated the importance of the Unity battle in the IFWW. I can't see any sign of it in the GRAoY. Once again I msut apologize for botching things up.
Devin has the GRAoY.
2a) Good point. I failed to spot that.
2b) The Evil Empire. Greg Stafford is actually taking the view of many sartarites that the Lunar Empire is the latest face of an Evil Empire which reserves to itself the right to lie, cheat and steal. The Sun falling from the sky is the death of Yelm at the hands of Orlanth and the invasion of monsters and the Ice Age are all God Time events.
3) Contradictory Syndics Ban/Closing. There are two probelms that I'm aware of. Harreks job for the King of Jonatela and the contradictory dates for the Closing. The second you take the dates from the G:CotHW as the earlier ones have obviously been gregged. As for the first one, I don't know. If you have other problems be glad to email me.
Congratulations from myself
Hi me (whitelaw), I'm glad I liked the idea. I'm so pleased that I said such nice things about it.
To my questions about the communal magic system.
If you wish to gear the system for non-reuasable spells, then to be consistant you should also gear then for attack spells. ie it will be much harder for a Zorak Zoran temple to get a Sever Spirit spell.
No, I do not include associated magic spells.
David Cake insults me again
>>An added inducement is that I promise to debate with you a gloranthan topic
>>of your choice in the digest.
>I am not sure that this is an inducement, however! :-)
Grrr! I swore I dispatched Cacodemon to feast on your bollocks! Perhaps you want Cwm as well? :-)
Cheers
