[Glorantha] ILH2

[Graham Robinson]

Just a couple of points - I need to read more of the book before I could comment on the rest...

Do we need one? I mean, do Lunar scholars have a different skill set than, say, a Lhankor Mhy scholar in Nochet? If not, just using the existing keyword. Given that no other keyword has been provided, presumably that's the idea...

Such are the contradictions of the Lunar way. Once you understand this, you will be one step closer to enlightenment. I'd read this as evidence that some Lunars worship Deezola, etc. as purely theist, while others use a more mixed approach. Use whichever one suits you and your players better.

(I suspect that's not the intention, but it is half the fun to explain away all the seeming contradictions...)

Cheers,
Graham
