I'd rather not get into the motivations of the gods. A general statement
about attitude won't become outdated as quickly.

As I see things, for the moment Feroze has yielded on all issues of
significance to Coron. Since Feroze has agreed not to cause problems, Coron
has in turn agreed not to interfere with Exquaestio's magical practices. In
the page I've changed the description from "positive" to "cooperative."
Note that neutral deities _do_ interfere with espiri magic, just not as badly
as hostile deities.

Well, that isn't the only problem. Among other things, in Celandra Feroze is
on the side of Change (Chaos) and Lucia is on the Stability (Order). Though
neither _want_ a war, both can see they are on a collision course. They're
hoping that something will come up to permit them to settle their differences
without a war.

I can add, "This does not permit time travel" easily enough if you think it's
needed. I was thinking more on the lines of haste, slow, and stasis for time
effects. I also tend to think more in terms of "space-time" than separate
"space" and "time" so I automatically put the two down together.

Good to know. Thanks.

With Millat Shanar in the north and Exquaestio in the south, I've been
thinking that it would fit the pattern for another new religion to have
recently appeared in the east (in Torphan). From what I can tell, something
of a Buddhist nature might be appropriate for Torphan.
(Actually, I've sort of been assuming that Millat Shanar and Equaestio aren't
the only new religions in the area. They're just the most successful, and
have been absorbing other divergent beliefs. The new religion in Torphan
would be just as successful.)
