Lankor Mhy
Lord of Knowledge
Lankor Mhy’s mother, Oreanar, was the Goddess of
Truth and his father Acos, God of law. Lankor Mhy
knew all the secrets of the Cosmic Law that ruled the
perfection of the Glorantha Court but in that primal age,
no one needed to ask. When Orlanth founded the Storm
Tribe, Lankor Mhy became his lorekeeper. To share his
knowledge with his followers, he invented writing. After
Yelm was slain, all gods and goddesses of Light departed
for the Underworld. Elasa, the Mistress of the Light of
Knowledge was the god’s inspiration and without her,
his learning was bereft of meaning. He set out to recover
his wife. Along the way, he was joined by other likeminded
gods and goddesses and together they overcame
numerous trials. He returned in triumph with the other
Lightbringer, Elasa at his side.
Lankor Mhy knows the laws, histories and customs in
every land he is worshipped in. In addition, he knows
much about the laws, histories and customs of foreign
lands. His worshippers maintain a friendly rivalry with
the followers of Issaries. His followers must always wear
beards; female followers don false beards of wood or
metal, some of them quite elaborate. He is depicted as
a bearded man carrying a quill and scroll. Temples of
all sizes exist throughout the barbarian belt and several
great Libraries are found in the EWF and in the Kingdom
of Night, the largest of these is the Final Knowledge
Repository at Nochet. However, many shrines exist
elsewhere as the God Learners have spread the religion
along with the Middle Sea Empire. Shrines teach Analyse
Magic.
