Greg sez:
> As is well known, [Ernalda] is the wife and help mate of the great Storm God, ...The two are inseparable, and could not exist without each other any more than men and women could exist without each other.
Rob Helm:
Except that Ernalda _did_ exist without Orlanth, well before he was born, in fact: "Ernalda was born in the Green Age, but she came into her power in the Golden Age, when the Emperor ruled everything." (_Thunder Rebels_, p. 141)
Rob Davis:
I agree with you Rob, but what the Lunars have done is like an area effect spell/heroquest that is narrowly focused on the Orlanthi religion of Sartar/northern herotland, specifically Orlanth and Ernalda. Therefore aslthough it might affect areas adjacent to sartar/ northern herotland if they worship beings who are fundementally linked to these two great gods, I don't see the problem that others do about differences in mythology that seems to invalidate what the Lunars have done in Dragon Pass with the new Lunar temple.

Rob
