Division of Church and State

I've known all along that this division wasn't much of a thing in Glorantha.

Rulers are often priests -- often High Priests, in fact! -- and so are officers in the military, especially high level commanding officers.  In fact, the civil/military/religious leaderships overlap pretty darned freely (except among the GLish cultures which reject theism & worship in favor of seeing the "divine" beings as just another kind of lever in the universe's control-room, to be operated as you are able and inclined).

But somehow, looking at some other threads just now, this has suddenly opened up a new way of thinking about Gloranthan cultures... and leadership.  (The key thread -- in fact the key post, FWIW -- was Nick Brook's summary of the Cult of Glamour in his RQ-subforum edition of the "Rough Guide to Glamour" thread (as an aside, I am kinda hating how there are many iterations of specific significant topics, distributed ALL the FRACK over teh Interwebz)).

Hmmmm.

Gonna take some pondering, this.
