Re: [WorldofGlorantha] Re: Take Part in the Battle of Whitewall

My own scattered thoughts on the BatBlat at Whitewall...

• The Bat cannot be defeated.

(Everyone knows that. Runegate was fluke. There is no dragon beneath Whitewall. However, the Runegate defence was also a scattered, disordered, demoralised mess for the Heortlings. The omens were terrible).

• Most Lunars are as terrified of the Bat as the Orlanthi are.
• If the Bat has a weak point, it is its riders and controllers.
• The Orlanthi can summon storms, indeed Whitewall is associated with Helemakt, the (last?) Fighting Storm. The Lunars expect this. The Orlanthi control the ways of wind and air. What is not expected is that the Orlanthi can also control a *LACK OF AIR*. This may be the crucial strength.
• Orlanth is more than Air, Orlanth is Primal Air. And Orlanthi who have questeded the deep paths understand that the Seven Storms and the Seven Winds are very different beasts. (See the TR quote in my accompanying post).

Cheers

John
