Hmm... Thank you for all the information, Daomei. It's the first that I had heard that Marauders had to be anti-cult. I personally could see a devout Kami who was also anti-civilization. (A little harder for me to imagine a devout Karavan that way.)

I also did not know that the ban on use of Kami tp's was based on fame rather than on my status as a convert of Jena. (In fact that has only recently taken place, since before the summer's patch it was possible to use pacts that you had on your person though it was not possible to buy new ones.)

As far as Tryton (whom I agree is not a god, nor has ever claimed to be) and the rainbow gates, I had always assumed that those had been invoked by the blessing of Jena, or that they were the result of whatever force it is that powers the Gates between the various continents (and regions in Aedan Aqueous), brought into being by Jena and shown to hominity by Tryton, who was then assigned the credit for them post facto.

From the original lore: "Many homins were able to escape through mysterious teleportation 'rainbows' leading to safe haven until these too were destroyed by kitins. Homins remaining in the infested lands could but flee into the wilds where they were forced to live nomadic lives in constant fear of kitin attack... " It is only the Karavan lore that puts Tryton anywhere near them.

I agree that the canon Lore is fragmentary and contradictory.

That Tryton apparently still lives is interesting news. I must tell my father of the rumor.
