SANDY PETERSEN APOTHEOSIZED
After a time of great devastation, beneficent darkness descended upon the
realm. Panic, depression, and despair receded, vanishing like the last
embers of a fire as the shadows engulf it. Glorantha was saved.
A god living among mortals, a mortal living among gods, Ezkankekko, the
Only Old One, strode forward to bring unity once more to the shattered
world. Uz, aldryami, mostali, humans, dragonewts, gold wheel dancers, and
many others came together, and Ezkankekko was among them, healing ancient
scars, settling ancient feuds, and showing similarities where people could
see only differences. When Chaos came he was there, and the Unity People
became one. When Gbaji came he was there, and the Unity People triumphed.
When the dragons betrayed the world he was there, and the Unity People
survived. He is with us even now, one among many, a bastion of strength at
the Gray Shores of Despair. He will always be with us.
No amount of thanks can be great enough for the many gifts Sandy Petersen
has given to the Glorantha Tribe. From a fan hoping to have his submissions
looked at by the High Ones, to one of the Gods of Glorantha creating the
world, to a respected elder and an expert on all things ever present, his
thoughts and beliefs have shaped all aspects of Glorantha, and always will.
I fervently hope that he will always be with us.
I am happy to have this opportunity to thank Sandy for the friendship,
creativity, and support he has given to Glorantha and me. In recognition of
this service, which truly cannot be measured, Issaries is honored to grant
to him the most esteemed status in our Glorantha Tribe. I, Greg Stafford,
am proud to announce this here, for all of the best to see:
Sandy Petersen is a Demi-God of the Glorantha Trading Association
With all honors and privileges granted thereto.
