Beats me. I think Greg just threw in something with a norse sound to it while writing KoS, to counter all the celtic stuff. ;-)

'Cause it's the bad guys' cult. Not quite chaotic, but bad news all the same. And with none of the Storm Bullies' socially redeeming features.

>What is the darkened square rune for Babeester Gor shown in GoG?

Why, Dark Earth, of course. :-) It represents the more aggressive and destructive aspects of the Earth, as opposed to all that fertility-and-flowers stuff.

>I get the

You got that right.

>Why are some of the runes shown twice in the GoG cult descriptions?

It denotes ownership of the rune. To be precise, the idea seems to have been that it should show _current_ ownership, as opposed to _original_ ownership (which gets the rune in question + Infinity), but this wasn't carried out with 100% consistency.
Besides, you're gonna get a lot of answers along the lines of "The Runes are just an evil God Learner ploy! Ignore them!" ;-)

I would say the later: if your PCs are primarily Ernalda, then the grain goddesses will be regarded as faceless hangers-on rather than powers in their own rights.
