What I was reacting to was terms like "photosensitive eyes" or the idea that merely blindfolding a trollkin would protect it from the sun. Glorantha is a fundamentally mythological world - that's what underlies it, not gravity, photons, dna, or whatever.
Right gravity is a descriptive term used to describe the mechanics in Glorantha that keep things from going up.
My point here is that Glorantha is not like earth. In earth we have definite devisions between "metaphysical reality" and physical reality.
This is not the case in Glorantha. Magic exsists concretely just as the sun does. There is no clear devision. I agree that the foundation of exsistence in Glorantha is metaphysical rather than physical. Though, naturally, it would follow that the physical exsistence IN Glorantha is a direct byproduct of the metaphysical state of affairs.
Thus terms such as: photo-sensitive, gravity, logic, sonar, etc; still have meaning. They are not meant to be templates of descriptive dynamics, merely a refrence point to understand the world that is Glorantha.
Sure, you can merely say "It's just magical. There is no such thing as truth."
In the Glorantha that I run, truth is real, and consistant, it's only the perceptions that differ. The truth remains. Conversely, you would have to say that PERCEPTION IS TRUTH, and it is the "reality" which differs. Which may well be the case in Glorantha, I just can't concieve how that works.
Argan Argar has a "merchant mask" that has been extremely overemphasised in RQ cult writeups.
Indeed, at which point does a write up become official?
That "merchant mask" is closely connected to the Equal Exchange of Ezkankekko and is not really the same thing as Issaries trading. The Book of Esrolia will have a short chapter on this stuff if I recall.
Cool.
Argan Argar is a big and important god - he ruled the world during the Darkness and in Kethaela and Kerofinela, everyone who survived the Darkness paid tribute to him (through Ezkanekko) - human, elf, dwarf, gold wheel dancer, whatever. Others even embraced the Darkness and learned powerful secrets from it.
Right on.
