The theory that he could have some distant hunshen ancestors because of the brilliant mare on it was probably just a fantasy for a pleasant wine-drinking evening but at least, since these discussions, Karala seemed a little bit less defensive toward him… Of course, the official story of his family was that they were all of pure descendants of the Akem Kingdom’s inhabitants, but Azhur had already learnt, just before rallying the Talor’s Fellowship that some details of this story weren’t what he would have thought about. For example, his father wasn’t
the true idealistic hrestoli he was pretending, but in reality perpetuating some mysterious long forgotten arkati rituals.</SPAN></P>

By tradition, all family swords were made of pure magical silver and Azhur had discovered how it was necessary for the children’s of Zorscam the werewolf slayer. Azhur now suspected his father to already know part or all of this and to have sent his son on the quest for Talor’s weapons also to learn the truth by himself and perhaps to learn more.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

It was perhaps because his now long friendship with Karala the deer-witch and the weirds tales of her enchanted flute or because his contact with Wilkairtha the cursed immortal and his tragic destiny, or even because the past teachings of his father, appearing afterward quite like an open-minded initiation to the complex reality of Glorantha, but for Azhur, more and more, the world was made of everything and the purity doctrine a dangerous illusion.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

<DIV>Loran, who would as well like to read more about the PCs' personal story (Why Icthya went to Kralorela? Why Jareena was sent for the Quest? How Riku became prisoner of the Luatha and thus survived the Godlearners' downfall? Etc...) Don't be shy, be creative ;-)</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr><BR>Karala is indeed very interested in talking to the denizens of the fabled Wild Temple - as well as perhaps being of some help in her quest to free the Telmori, they might also be able to offer advice on how to "prove" that Anzhur is indeed decended from Galinini, one of the Beast Ancestors... Her people have never bended to "civilisation", and so have no myths about how to do this, but maybe the inhabitants of Beast Valley, whom she has heard have managed to reconcile thier Beast and Man selves would have something to offer... <BR><BR>Dougie<BR><BR>-:).<BR></DIV></DIV></DIV></div><br>
