I'm running a 5th Edition D&D game set in Glorantha, and one of my players had a question: What happens if a man manifests the Earth Rune? Women who manifest Air can become Vingans, but nothing is said that I've found about Earth aspected men?

I was thinking they'd worship Barntar, but I understand he's an Air god. Do any gods in the Earth Tribe accept men?

Mister Olympus posted:

Nanda is the male counterpart to Vinga among the Earth Tribe, and works in much the same ways; Nandans are allowed in the holy Ernalda shed, etc.

(He's also the god that more gender-conforming Orlanthi pray to when they need to fix something in the house, calm down a baby, etc.)

Did not know Nanda at all, thanks!

I know this may be weird, but are there any bee gods? Or is that too small of a portfolio to get space in any Glorantha guide?

If not, where would they go? They're heirarchical, which says Sky domain, but they help plants grow which says Earth god to me.

What do y'all think?

I've been thinking on this for a while, in Six Ages, how are Rams (who are almost exclusively infantry) a match for Rider cavalry forces? Do they just have a shitton of battle magic that the Riders lack, or just sheer numbers they can bring to bear?

I understand how a weaponthane could stand against a cavalry fighter, I'm talking about the mass of regular fighters, or do Ram weaponthanes make up the difference?

It just seems like a big investment on the Riders' part to feed horses for everyone, when such an all-cav force gets dunked on by infantry, who need a lot less land to feed.
