We say YGWV nowadays. By definition, your Glorantha will vary. So yes, it's a YGWV thing.

Tales #15 isn't the Guide - it's a RuneQuest magazine from the nineties. I think Jeff added the comment that Moonbroth is "currently the religious center of Lunar Prax" to the Guide text because he liked what I'd done with the place fifteen or so years earlier, but that's just, like, my opinion, man. I took the basic framework from an old Digest post by Malcolm Serabian, and added the missing religious dimension (with pilgrims and heresiarchs). My Moonbroth had several grandiose imperial construction projects (a big new Temple, Moonbroth New Town, the Governor's Palace, the Spa complex, etc.), because I wanted the Empire to leave some impressive ruins behind in Prax for the tribes to fight over in the Fourth Age. Nowadays I get a lot of wistful pleasure contemplating post-Lunar Prax...

Thanks Nick for explain this. I hope to see your work in a module someday

I wrote a short piece about the first invasion @Darius West, it's in one of my Gloranthan Manifesto collections, qv.

Yes @JMV, Moonbroth Oasis has always been connected to the Lunar cycle, since before the rise of the Red Moon, centuries before the Lunar Empire came to Prax. There are many heterodox and indeed somewhat heretical Lunar worshippers at the Oasis, blending Pelorian and Praxian traditions: the Treaty of the Paps kept them safe from imperial reprisals during the Lunar occupation of Prax, but things are different now the Pol Joni and White Bull Cult are back in the saddle. My old article in Tales of the Reaching Moon #15 covers some of this, and there'll be much more in a future Jonstown Compendium release.

(Not many people know this, but the Red Goddess herself is said by some residents of Moonbroth to have visited the Oasis during her Goddess Quest)

Is this a YGMV thing? or is this in the Guide? We have only the Starter Set and the old Pavis-Rubble module

Thank you.

There is not actually much to more to say about it. The 1608 "Invasion" was a small affair with the Lunars testing the waters. They were hoping for a simple surrender by the Paps due to the Antelope Lancer connection and little resistance. They underestimated. However, it did allow the Sable tribe and the Hungry Plateau Sable Tribe to reconnect and begin the Lunarisation, that would help two years later. It also allowed them to scope out Moonbroth and connect with its deep moon secret.

Hi, what deep moon secret? is there a moon connection? I read somewhere that moon and lunar are not the same because "lunar" refers to the Red Goddess. Sorry if this is explained in other post but I am new to Runequest.

Thanks.
