"I never said his departure made her sleep. That was a thread of speculation by others. It is incorrect."
OK, in explaining why Ernalda went to sleep, the Q&A said:
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.
I interpreted that to mean: Ernalda went to sleep because of her relationship with Orlanth. Based on some discussions off-list, people better-informed than me also arrived at that interpretation.
"So I will be more clear:It is obvious that the Lunars also messed with Orlanth."
Just to make sure that I get it right this time: The Lunars targeted _both_ Ernalda and Orlanth with their rituals. They did not just "kill" Orlanth knowing that doing so would send Ernalda to sleep.
This isn't just a theoretical question, by the way. As a narrator in Heortland, I'd probably want to toss in some generally ominous hints of what's coming. What the players would see depends on whether the Lunars are just targeting Orlanth, or targeting Ernalda and Orlanth. Players might see strange midnight processions of women in the latter case, for instance.
