Roundstone Cults

The cults worshipped in the Roundstone Clan are not traditionally Orlanthi by 1616-17. The Lunar prohibition on Orlanth worship has begun to take effect especially amongst the more prominent members such as the clan ring. Other members of the clan still worship they less militant sub-cults of Orlanth such  as Durev the Householder, Orolmarn the Herder and Orstan the Carpenter. Lunar forces have not taken much interest in these worshippers. Some warrior Orlanthi have taken to following the Helamakt sub-cult which they represent as part of the worship of Heler the rain god.

 

 

Yinkin

There are a few worshippers of Yinkin - god of alynxes, hunting and sensuality - in the the Roundstone Clan. They have a shrine in the Midnight Grove in the woods that run along the stream called Witness. The worshippers in 1616 were:

• Soran Silvercat - devotee of Gavren from Varnter's Field

• Bastakus Greeneyes - devotee of Hevren from Eye Stead

• Verlain Finewhiskers - devotee of Alusar from Ravine

• Mora Nightcat - devotee of Gavren from Methi Stead

• Argrande the Kitten - Initiate of Alusa from Roundstone Stead.

• Garrath Lazycat - Initiate of Alusar from Noble.

In 1616 Soran Silvercat is the greatest of them and guards the shrine. He rarely comes to the steads preferring to live alone in the woods. He can turn into a silver alynx.

Heler

In the old days there were few worshippers of Heler in the Roundstone Clan but the cult has become more popular with the banning of Orlanth worship. Aelith Ridge is sacred to Heler worshippers and certain of their ceremonies take place at the Bluestone Circle there. In 1616 they are lead by Leik the Priest who is a devotee of Helamakt (though really of the Orlanth Thunderous aspect though he pretends otherwise to the Lunars). He is part of the clan ring. There is another devotee from the Brygossi called Arena Blueface who worships Tarena. She is 30 years old and is the daughter of Thane Ingan Oldhelm. She has never married  and is known for wandering the hills painted blue in her worship of the goddess. The initiates are (listing their social status and bloodline).
