Cults of Dragon Pass
One thing that should be becoming clear is how much of a mixed salad Dragon Pass is. If we include Sartar, Tarsh Exiles, Lunar Tarsh, and the Grazelands, here are the three…
The “Elmali Civil War”
One last point that had been buried in a previous thread. The “Elmali Civil War” was not within the Elmal cult. It was between the Elmali and the rest of Sartarite society….
