I have much fonder memories of the HW paperbacks. All that time in the 1980s when I had to shuffle players from Balazar to Prax, quickly skipping across Sartar, because there was so little published about it, but with always the prospect of actual details soon. To then to discover the HW paperbacks in a bookshop (not a games shop but an actual bookshop!) finally telling me all about Orlanthi society and how it worked, was a joy. I never played HW/HQ (even if all the HQ books were the only RPG books I bought for years) but that reignited my love of Glorantha. Learning it was actually first age Orlanthi is a revelation, but actually makes sense.
