Harald and Alex have been discussing the peculiarities of the map in Codex
#2, here's another one:
Have you noticed that the path of the sun passes through a heck of a lot of
ocean? I thought Yelm had to pass through _hell_ every night? Then again,
what could be more hellish for a great ball of fire than to be submerged
under water. :-)
David Dunham (BTW, I _have_ to use _your_ last name, but how many guys named Jonas are there on this list:-)?) responds to my Ernaldan quip:
>Ernalda is indeed present in East Ralios, but not nearly as important as
>Orlanth's main wife, Ralia.
That was kinda my point, wasn't it? ;-)
>Ernalda is still the typical access to the Six Earths
Which means?
That she's an obscure mythical figure thought of as very powerful, but not
actually worshipped by normal people?
Again, that was my complaint.
Isn't it sort of strange that _Orlanth_ is found in more-or-less the same shapes and flavors all over Genertela, while poor Ernalda has to see herself supplanted by various local bimbos? Whatever happened to the "Cult of Orlanth and Ernalda"? ;-)
