Thanks, @mistylavenda! It hadn’t been asked. The Forgotten Gods are just a Whendish thing. The Shayardenes were Xthonos-worshippers even before the Karagond conquest, but their version of the religion had a rather different flavor.
Apologies to everyone for how long it’s taking me to produce the next update… latest excuse is being involved in a car accident in Ethiopia. Thank God, everyone’s going to recover and the police let us go after 4 days with relatively limited attempts at bribe solicitation. But it ate another weekend that I was planning to spend on writing Rebels.
