I can't find a reference for this - any ideas?

Genert was the offspring/lover of Gata. His/their/her daughters were the Land Goddesses. His presence was through his daughters who were the Land. He was the male Earth aspect to their female. As an Earth god, he was of course everywhere and also in his palace. Without his male aspect the land had no fertility, and his fertility was so powerful it was personified as Tada. Tada entertained many Earth Goddesses and the land was rich.

IIRC, this was due to Greg and a scaling mistake he made. From memory Genertela is 3000 miles across and some where along the line the continent got stretched. I even think it there was an imperial/metric mistake mixed in there. Anyway it took Colin a major amount of work to rescale the main map. Different sections were stretched in different ways. Greg did it all on paper, separate pieces of paper, it was only when they were scanned and stitched that the errors were realised.

The illustration is from Masters of Luck and Death page 63. It's illustrated as part of a Hero Band, the Servants of the Wild. Personally, I'd ignore the hero band and use the main Heortling Mythology page 48, as it provides more detail on the White Spider Practice. The Dragon Pass Gazeteer has a William Church illustration of the Temple and a report an a ceremony there. Here are the links to the references. the last two are in the vault and are cheap. https://www.chaosium.com/the-book-of-heortling-mythology-pdf/ https://www.chaosium.com/masters-of-luck-and-death/ https://www.chaosium.com/dragon-pass-a-gazetteer-of-kerofinela-pdf/

Page 198. Clan Hearth illustration. Numbers need removing or a key added.

IIRC, the original in Griffin Island has the numbers removed, but I think @Rick Meints found the original that had the numbers and used that. There is no key. Ive added it to the error page.

If you ever visited Chaosium's offices you would have seen Greg's giant map of Dragon Pass stuck to the wall. This was a tiny fraction of his hand drawn maps that needed scanning and digital stitching. The top left overlay in black and white is part of his separate Lunar Empire maps, part of the Gregarth Atlas that has appeared from time to time at cons. A lot of maps were stitched to form a continuous map colin could work from.

This is a place where you can post any errors you spot in the Week 10 Guide to Glorantha Group Read. Please note that there will be a different thread each week to post errors. This weeks page range is page 199 up to and including page 233. Please include the text to be corrected and the correction. @Rick Meints has clarified versions of the Guide, please check your errors against the latest PDF:

They likely came from the Dwarf of Dwarf Run. Looking at the items from WB&RM, the Alchemical transformer, the Canon Cult and the Stone men it's not to far a stretch to get assault rockets. But you have to ask yourself, what do the Lunars have that the Dwarfs don't? I think the answer is moon rock. Just think what the dwarves could do with that.

Not at all. I see this as a long term resource that owners of the Guide can dip into and contribute at any time. I'm going to add something to this end to the index page.

I also think not much is said of Storm Bull's act as it was technically kinstrife.

yes

I would say some yes. If it's your dominant rune, yes.

In RQ Glorantha having The Moon as your Primary Rune gives you +2 to CHA or POW (secondary +1) so yes.

Not really, cult of Stormbull has

Covered later on page 647. Not a Godlearner POV

The moon rune has been in Glorantha in many places since before the Dawn. E.g. All the major tribes of Prax and many minor have the moon rune in their people.

@davecake said In HQ Glorantha is also Mastery and Death and in RQ Glorantha, Man and Death. Some background. Waha is the counterpart to Eiritha's Life rune. This is their main emphasis. Secondary to that are their other runes. Eiritha has Beast as well and in RQG it due to the way the runes are balanced it makes sense to have Waha with the man rune. In reality Waha secondary role in the Wastes is Mastery. As shown in HQG page 169, Mastery over different areas. There is no magic in RQG tied to the Mastery Rune, but in supplements future there may be.
