Hi all--
Just getting back into the daily after the long holiday weekend
here, I have not yet had time to assimilate the assorted comments
by Joerg, Peter the Blue Wizard, and Nick on the gods of Dara
Happa.
I did note David Hall's comment regarding the discussion though.
If others find it to be a complex mind-numbing, soul-zapping spell
devised by hideous Godlearners, I'll be happy to take the
discussion offline.
I might note that sometimes interesting game-related ideas can come
out of these discussions through this forum. As one example,
Joerg, I think, mentioned that the ancient city of Mernita was
crushed by Sedenya, the false sun, who may also be the blue moon.
If this is the case (or even if its not), then some good Dara
Happans or magic-seeking Lunars may make this connection, too. So
what better than to launch a true solar punitive expedition against
those miserable digijelm to restore the glory of lost Mernita? Or
the grand lunar hunt for the heart of Sedenya, said to contain a
secret fire that even trolls have not extinguished? Or an Ice Sea
fisher returns from an expedition with an unusual carved stone,
Dara Happan in origin, but depicting a ritual now unknown?
In warning, I will probably produce one more posting on the daily
on the topic of Dara Happan/Pelorian mythos as I consolidate the
assorted responses from the weekend. If consensus is to take it
offline after that, I will do so.
--Harald
