Quick question for you glorantha-files out there.

What cults/gods did the Pure Horse Tribe that invaded Prax worship? Were they Storm Tribe?

Along those same lines what gods do the Zebra Riders of Pavis worship? Do they worship the nomad gods?

Thanks!

The Pure Horse Tribe worship Kargzant, their sun god, and Ungariant, his wife. There are then various powerful ancestor spirits such as Dastal the Hunter. Their gods are therefore a mix of their own solar pantheon and shamanic practices.

The Zebra Riders are originally of Pure Horse stock, but by taking zebras as their mounts broke that tradition. In Pavis they follow a mixture of the nomad gods and the Storm Tribe, recognising the power of Waha and Eiritha, but also Issaries and, of course, Pavis himself.

The Pentan tradition, which both stem from, is incredibly complex and stretches even into Dara Happan belief. Its a mixture of divine worship, beast totemism and high-ancestor veneration.
 
Cool, thanks for the reply. I thought that might be the case for the PHT. I didn't realize the Zebra riders worshiped the storm gods.
 
As Loz says, the Pure Horse Tribe worshipped a version of the Pentian Pantheon.

Have a look at Sons of Kargzant http://www.celtic-webs.com/theunspokenword/books/sok.html for some ideas on the Pentian Pantheon (It's written for the Char Un, who are Lunar Pentians, but you could use many of the cults as written) - it's HeroQuest but is easily converted to RQ.
