[Glorantha] Re: Some Truestone Notes (Simon Hibbs)

[Robert Davis]

    Simon: 
  
Regarding exploding Truestones. I can't see binding a chaotic spirit
into a Truestone doing anything but destroying the spirit. It'd have
to be a deity, or at least a part of one, to do any harm to Truestone
because only a deity has deep enough roots into the cosmic 'power
grid' to match up to it. Just think about what Truestone is. It's a
piece of Cosmic Law, the foundation of all that is real and enduring.
Destroying a piece of Truestone IMHO actualy weakens the reality of
ALL of Glorantha. The ability to do that is beyond the normal, mortal
scale of potential.
   
  Rob:
  When truestone explodes, it fragments, it is not destroyed. Thus what your lunar does is give the thing to his cult officials who then get a friendly chaotic to attune it. This causes the stone to explode/ fragment so that you can actually get more truestones!! The side affect is the anhilation of the chaotic, but you know, you can't make an omlette without breaking a few eggs right......
   
  Seasonal Regards
  Rob
