His only known sign is a peculiar rune made of silver or brass, which serves as his image in their hidden shrines, and which is invisibly tattooed on worshipers' left hands.
Nobody knows the face of Lanbril, for he is the master of disguise. Priest-leaders take the part of Lanbril in cult religious ceremonies.
Barbarians picture Lhankor Mhy as a man dressed in the local noble fashion, or in grey robes, always bearded. He wears the Arm Ring of Knowledge, and usually holds scrolls.
Orlanth's killing of Yelm sparked the beginning of the Great Darkness. Orlanth realized the doom which he had brought to the world, and knew that he must right his wrongs by bringing Yelm back to life. He set off with his companions, later dubbed the Lightbringers, and they entered hell alive. Their quest was successful and, as a result, the world was reborn to its current state.
When Lodril came to earth he became Volcano God. During the Gods War, the Sky Spear pierced the earth trying to impale a slimy thing of chaos. Rather than holding firm, the Spear snapped and broke freeing Lodril, the god who lived inside the weapon. He is sometimes thought of as the source of heat without light. In Kethaela there exists an immense volcano called Lodril's First Home.
Lodril is usually depicted as a crude but powerful peasant among the solar worshipers, sometimes even portrayed as a slovenly, overweight sot. Among the Pamaltelans he is shown on baskets as a warrior carrying both a long and a short spear.
Lokarnos began his immortal life as god of the wheel, a magical token he created to honor Yelm. Through cleverness he made carts and wagons, loaded them with goods to help his lords, and afterwards earned the title of Merchant of the Gods. He also invented money, and certain coins are called wheels in his honor.
Lokarnos is pictured as a trader in a traditional short tunic, beckoning with one hand and holding a pile of coins in the other. A gold wagon wheel or an oversized coin are used as temple images.
Lorian is shown in solar temples as a blue god, tailed like a fish, but otherwise handsome and powerful.
The Lowfires are those types of fire which are known to mankind: the hearth, the workfire, and wildfire. They are esteemed by primitives, valued by barbarians, despised by sun and sky worshipers, and revered as companions by commoners.
His image is that of a billowing sail upon which eyes have been painted.
Two living goddesses of lunar energy are known. The Blue Moon reigned before Time and the Red Goddess has reigned since Time. A third moon, the White Moon, is prophesied, but receives no worship and little acknowledgment from existing cults.
Lux is usually shown as a robed being surrounded by some representation of light, such as a ring of fire or a circle of rays.
Lanbril [LAN-bril]
Orlanth pantheon -- king of thieves
Lanbril was a near-human resident of the Spike during Godtime. He was scorned by more ancient and powerful gods who had vastly superior magic. In revenge Lanbril secretly robbed and inconvenienced the gods who had spurned him. Lanbril is now worshiped by thieves and other lowly types in most large cities of south-central Genertela.For more information on Lanbril, see the Cult of Lanbril.
Larnste [LAHRN-stay]
Eastern and Yelm pantheons -- Celestial Court god of change
As a member of the Celestial Court, Larnste fashioned the rune of movement and change. When death came into the world, Larnste initially took the responsibility of separating those dead spirits from those still living. The dead spirits he gave into the care of the various gods and goddesses of the underworld, who were just coming into being. For this he earned the nickname The Soul Arranger. Larnste's ultimate fate during the Gods War is uncertain. Some philosophers believe that he survived by transmuting himself into another form, god, or power, and thus is no longer Larnste.Lhankor Mhy [LANK-er MIGH]
Orlanth pantheon -- lord of knowledge, one of the Lightbringers
Lhankor Mhy is the god of the Grey Lords, the sages of Glorantha. Keeper of the Laws, Scribe of the Immortals, and History Singer are his titles. He is one of the Lightbringers, and during that epic quest he inherited, found, fought for, and stole many pieces of the old powers. He preserved them safely until Time began. He even holds the sacred Stone Scrolls, forged in the Underworld to hide the secrets of the Compromise from immature souls. Even so his knowledge is not complete, and he and his cult ever thirst for more.For more information on Lhankor Mhy, see the Cult of Lhankor Mhy.
