[QUOTE="Haffrung Helleyes, post: 5105366, member: 1068"] [b]Rq2/rq3[/b] Yeah, my frame of reference for RQ mostly comes from RQ3, the Tales of the Reaching Moon fanzine, the King of Sartar book, and the Gloranthan Digest mailing list. I was pretty active on it back in the 90s. Then D&D 3E came out and I convinced my entire gaming group to switch to it and that was the end of my RQ involvement. I haven't read most of the Mongoose stuff; I wasn't happy with the first edition of Mongoose RQ. I hear though that the 2nd edition is much improved. Greg Stafford changed his mind about so many things about Glorantha over the years, the lay members->initiates thing really doesn't surprise me! In the most recent stuff I read, initiation was presented as a 'coming of age ceremony' that all Orlanthi pantheon types underwent at age 15 in the Sartar region. Initiation to Orlanth (for men) and Ernalda (for women) was just about universal. When people belonged to other cults (Lhankor Mhy or Vinga for example) it was typically in addition to these two.
