Suits me, I would quite like to see a bit more of Kerala (and Knarl) 
centre-stage so I can learn a bit more about them.

I had a strange idea about all this last night. We start out by running 
this as two independent heroquests so when we get to the point where 
Talor Curses the Telmori / Talor Reveals the Telmori Chaos Taint 
(depending on perspective) the two sub-groups are opponents in the 
quest. Unlike the known myth we then continue the story with the groups 
paths crossing at least a couple more times with (hopefully) the last 
crossing of paths being a reconciliation.

Even if I were not playing a Lunar I think the lunar mythic influence is 
pretty inescapable - what with the curse being tied to lunar cycles, the 
chaos/illumination taint and the associations with insanity/lunacy. 
Aalmon's role might be as a guide on the path to the moon where one or 
both parties win part of the understanding that they need to find 
reconciliation at the end. It helps explain why the original attempts at 
fixing the curse were doomed, neither side really wanted reconciliation 
and even if they had the moon had not yet risen so a key middle section 
of the myth was "missing".

I don't know what entity finally helps the two sides come together, I 
think that is where Kerala and her mythology would be the key to it all.

If Lev is happy with this general direction of play perhaps we can go 
back IC to take the discussion further as each character retells the 
myth that they think contributes to the new "complete" story and we try 
to research any missing pieces.
