I'm not opposed to getting it if it has a lot of information on deities I don't already know about via kodp but if it's just redundant Guide information and the Satarite pantheon I'll pass. The Book of Heortling Mythology is excellent if you're playing in an Orlanthi society. Nanomashoes posted:Are there any heroquests with a part for Maran Gor? I can't really find any in old edition books. I'm playing an initiate of her and I've been combing books for mentions of any deeds she's done that could maybe be made into one but all I have are: Here's some snippets about Maran Gor from the Heortling Mythology book: As well as the myth of the shaker beasts, Maran Gor also rescued most of the domesticated animals from the wicked shapechanger Seravus, who was the son of a rock, and possibly related to her hated foe, Tekakos, who was also a rock. She thus ensured that Orlanthi would have cows and chickens and stuff forevermore. Because mountains can't grow without Maran Gor's shaking the earth, the Earth sometimes looks to her for protection: "the earth stopped moving and grew weak and the mountains no longer grew. When she was gone, the goddesses felt exposed and more frightened". Maran alongside Orlanth, defeated Veskarthen when he attacked the Earth (this story isn't elaborated on). She's also worshipped on Shutting the Door day, whatever that is. I'm sure you could make some story out of it.

TheNamedSavior posted:On a different, non-Kralorela topic, but still related to how Glorantha I don't know much other than Heortling/Dragon Pass culture, but I've always imagined their conception of gender to coincide with their deities; for example, an Ernaldan is a gender, as is an Eurmali. In a line-up of naked, tattoo-less people, they might assume that you're an Orlanthi or Ernaldi (and they'd probably be right 80% of the time), but I figure once you're dressed up and tattooed, it'd be relatively clear. I reckon the Gods probably invented gender during the Green Age when they were figuring out/making up the differences between things. I do like the gender stuff though, it makes me think of exotic cultures and mysticism and the power that comes with being male/female, like the power of the women's hut for example. Maybe that's an unpopular take though. I thought trolls were terribly matriarchal, to the point that most non-uz have never seen a female troll because they're off trying to become immortal in the underworld. I'm sure I read that somewhere.
