Elric-replacing the Cult of Goldar

Mongoose
One of the characters in my(soon to commence)Elric campaign is the son of a Merchant Prince/Sea Lord from Filkhar. The character himself is a feckless wastrel but his father(I have decided) is devout, hardworking man.
He gives sacrifice to Lassa for fair winds and sacrifice to Straasha for calm waters but who does he pray to for success in his main fields of Trade and Commerce? This is the space that was once filled by the Cult of Goldar in other imaginings of this setting.
I had thought that it might fall under the auspices of Arkyn the Meticulous or possibly even the domain of Shalod the Bookbinder(sounds a bit like accountancy). Anyone got any thoughts or opinions on this? :)
 
For my own campaign I'd assigned the riole to arkyn the Meticulous.
Mind you, it looks like some of the Chaosium YK Gods of Law might be sneaking into canon if the first chapter of the new Elric novel is anything to go by.

New Elric novel? :)
Where?
Links?
 
I forget the title. Its a collaboration between MM and a French writer (Fabrice Colin I think). I believe part of it includes the short story 'Black Petals' though I don't know if 'Red Pearls' is included. It's out now but in French...I don't know when an English verssion will be printed.

Any reason not to use Goldar as described?

Well, I hope to submit a few extended adventure hooks for Raschil and Ryfel when S&P finally makes a reappearance. I'm not sure if 'Goldar' didn't make it to Cults of the Yk because he belongs to Chaosium.
No reason why I cannot use him in my own games though :)

Oooh wow, thanks for the heads up, looking forward to an English translation.
