I have a Valind hero as PC in my Pavis/Praxian campaign. Yes, it's a weird place for a Valind worshiper. Originally the character was transferred as a refugee from the previous campaign we had. He has already brought tougher winters in Pavis county. There are quite many who don't like this. This far the Valind PC and the other PC's have crushed all the resistance being maybe the best fighters in the area. The Valind PC has planned to bring a real winter in the area and there's going to be quite big players against this plot.
Therefore I would like to know more about Kalikos in general and the myth where he kicks Valind's ass in particular. I have the GtG (also KoS), and there is some information about this, as well as in the glorantha.wikia.com:
Foe of Winter.
- Associated with the North Star.
- Sent by Kargzant to defeat the Hollri with a fiery spear and red rock.
- He chased the Ice Palace into the Underworld and did a leaping dance of victory.
- He lived in the Palace of Kalikos.
Has somebody actually written the myth? What is the red rock carried on the Kalikos boat (GtG)? What are the mythical roles of the quest? He is associated with the North Star but his palace is in the Underworld? I don't quite understand this. Leaping dance of victory?
Who was Kalikos, a hero or a god? What would be his runes? Fire rune obviously...but what else?
