Just some simple questions - but I'm reading the Sourcebook more thoroughly now, and I've read that the God Learners thought these to be the same, right? Before and after assuming control of a part of the Underworld and guiding/judging the dead?
The Praxians worship him (I assume, he's a part of their pantheon at any rate), and say that he came in the Gray Age to separate the living from the dead. Do the Orlanthi/Heortlings have any similar stories, or did other entities perform that task? (Orlanth, Issaries, Ernalda).
Is Daka Fal the Judge of the Dead in Orlanthi mythology as well? Does he have an (expressed as opposed to implied) relation to Ty Kora Tek?
Is he considered an ancestor, or is the identification between Grandfather Mortal and Daka Fal considered obscure by most modern Orlanthi?
According to the Sourcebook, Grandfather Mortal, after he was killed, became a king in the Underworld. I'm guessing this is partially to explain why Trolls (Man-Rune Darkness beings) exist. Is this just a God Learner synthetic theory, or is a belief that trolls also have? Do they consider him an ancestor, or mate of Kyger Litor? Why couldn't he join them in their passage up from Wonderhome when the Sun fell and scorched it lifeless? I understand he was "dead", but there were already ghosts abound. Did he choose to stay?
Cheers.
