  1. What is it? It's a joy, that's what it is.
  2. For Orlanth, you could start with Indra. Even the Wikipedia article https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indra should give you a few similarities, such as their similar power over thunder, the vajra, and their battles against evil serpents in order to free the rains. But that's largely what you'll find: occasional correspondences rather than a 1:1 mapping.
  3. It's showing as available again ... https://www.chaosium.com/mig3-the-meints-index-to-glorantha-hardcover/
  4. 20% off The Children of Hykim (and it's sister book The Voralans) in DriveThruRPG's GM's day sale for the next 10 days.

  6. I refer to it frequently. Little bit shocked to discover it's currently OOP on the Chaosium website! (Unless this means we'll get the leatherette edition as part of a reprint exercise 😉).

    Otters ...

    David Dunham had an otter Hsunchen tribe, the Udari (https://www.pensee.com/dunham/ralios/hsunchen.html). Although the Otter tribe is listed in Revealed Mythologies as one of sixteen original Fiwan tribes, I took the view in The Children of Hykim that if there ever were otter Hsunchen, they are extinct. Essentially, their descendants are the intelligent otters; just as many other Hsunchen tribes are extinct, with their descendants being the intelligent humans.
  8. I also have a review of Treasures of Glorantha 2 over on DTRPG:
  9. I'm sure everyone has bought this by now, but if anyone has not, it's worth finding the little "Adjust Donation" button when purchasing, as it allows you to increase the proportion of the sale that goes to both Chaosium and to WWF.
  10. Black elves, please :-). As Joerg said, it's food. Fungi gotta eat, too.
  11. Rathor's mother is Frona - CoRQ: The Prosopaedia, page 41.
  12. We also have the (officially unnamed) gods or ancestors of the jaguar people (Te Huantal), jungle cat people (Chumbari), snow leopard people (Chen-ga), tiger people (Hsa), etc. In Anaxial's Roster, the ancestress of the bobcat folk, the Rinkoni, is named Rinkona. And there is also Sakkar, the sabretooth, God of Fear, Hunter of Men. Yinkin is the odd one out because he betrayed his beast kin and chose instead the Storm tribe (The Book of Heortling Mythology, page 38, although this myth reeks of the three-worlds bollocks of that era). All the other children of Fralar are recognised as spirit-ancestors by the Hykimi / Hsunchen. For yet more ex-canonical felines (including some names of deities), see Anaxial's Roster and Anaxial's Annex.
  13. Paging @Lordabdul for your question about A Short Detour. The Red Moon Glow is unrelated to the transformation, which is a curse. I personally believe that technically, the invulnerability and the ability to change for long periods was the Chaotic gift of Nysalor; and that the "involuntary" nature of this was the curse of Talor, as per various sources on the history of the Telmori. The gift and curse both date back to well before the rise of the Red Moon into the air. You could make that link now - but there's nothing inherent in the official publications to back it up. Also note that Telmori can transform through the use of Rune magic - they are not limited to the involuntary once-a-week change.

    Moon Rock?

    Possibly other things, but as per the Glorantha Bestiary, page 181, they can be used to summon Lunes (or Selenes, if you have a Blue Moon rock).
  15. Martin, you and Katrin are marvels.
