so I'm looking at the calendar in the game master screen pack and i notice Sartar has a high holy day. i take it this is for the founder of the kingdom and not some independence day style holiday. if I'm right will he be appearing in the gods book?

so whats there history?

how do they differ from other orlanthi?

any gods native only to the ducks?

Weird to have a hunting god without the Death Rune. I suppose he just hugs his prey to sleep? 

i see him not as a god of the hunt but of bears and bears hunt and are hunted

Chalana arroy, lhankor mhy, and issaries probably replaced three peaceful air gods I know eleven lights mentioned a pre issaries and gustbran trade and craft god

Do the grazrlanders men only worship yelm as the primary cult. is yelmalio present? what about other solar cults?

A smuggler to me sounds like a engizix merchant.

doubt the issue would even arise with Tusk Riders - it’s a no quarters fight, and no-one is going to either ask for or give it.

 it could happen if the tusk raider was disabled by a chalana arroy follower.

may not necessarily need to be a war party.

Were the PC's emissaries from someone or acting on their own?

If they were acting on their own behalf, one of the PC's might just have a very fatal date in the dueling circle with Lady Nameless, champion of the Colymar and guardian of Queen Leika's person and honor.

Remember that Leika and her Ring are still new in power. While they have the full loyalty of the tribe behind them, they're also at war with the Lunar Empire. They're well aware that they have some fighting coming up and they may not want to waste trained thanes on a minor insult if a one-on-one duel will solve the problem just as easily.

Player actions have led to a different timeline from the canon glorantha so there ls a sartarite civil war brewing nothing has happened yet but everyone is gearing up. In steps an independent clan of 800ish people who insult a tribal king. I decided leika wanted to ensure nobody thought of her as weak so is sending a small army to crush the player clan

Remember, the most biting satire /sarcasm is direct, subtle, and true.

Will take this to note. Will definitely have leika prepare a response. Along with a war party

How about a Hero Quest to repair the Broo’s corrupt nature? Does that sound possib

What would they look like? would this also means they would breed like a normal creature? This is a rather interesting idea

You could offer to ransom it back to the gift givers at a chieftain's weregeld. Evidently, they sent their leader into captivity

  If you are sent a donkey with a moon rune on its head as an insult, you rise to the challenge and send them back a mule (larger infertile donkey) with a truth rune on its behind and an illusion rune on its head.

Definitely using this. 

So my players recently gave a donkey with the moon rune painted on it head to lieka black spear as an insult. So I'm now wondering. The orlanthi seem to be a society that wouldn't take being insulted lightly are there any insults in Orlanthi society that WILL result in violence 

so this is what got me is the cult pages in character creation, but looking through the cult chapter does say she is worshipped throughout Dragon Pass

So the heortlings/sartarites have/had Uralda and they have since learned she is the same as eiritha but sartarites can't be apart of her cult. Is there an Uralda cult still that's separate, did they all leave for prax when it was learned the two were the same. Or was she just never worshiped directly

The shear amount of dye the uz would be able to sell is ironic for a color blind race

Does flamal get around as much as his wife if so potatoes could be flamal x mountain goddess or mountain god x aldarya in my head makes more sense because peloria is more of a flat land right? Sartar or any other sufficiently mountainous place could be the home of the best vegetable

How do the wind children live there lives what's there culture and religion?

And I just realized it would be like the tablecloth trick

We must have too many Trickster threads here, as I couldn't read that without hearing "challenge accepted!" somewhere in my head.

I mean you probably could and than you'd have a walking meat horse the problem is keeping the horse still 

personally im leaning towards more horses in a hide than a hide of cows but anyone else have ideas

how many horses would you reckon it would take to make the 80 Lunars a year on one hand excess colts can be sold for money as riding and war horses on the other less milk than a cow and you cant shear a horse for wool 

How does the prince of sartar make an income I take it they tax merchants on the roads but do the tribes of sartar also have to provide taxes and or labour? I mean all that gift giving a good king does has to be expensive

Ironically, trolls are probably the most humanlike of all the Elder Races.

Makes sense both are descendants of grandfather mortal in the beast-man dichotomy
