What about wandering priests? Roaming the countryside. Probably only visit shrines as congregation numbers are low. Still get MP and points of POW for their god.

The power trade off for being a shaman is significant and it's the only reason they became a priest

IIRC @Nick Brooke is the head honcho for the JC. These may help https://www.facebook.com/groups/3300536396630881 https://www.chaosium.com/runequest-community-content/ https://help.drivethrurpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/12723268545943-Jonstown-Compendium-Content-Guidelines?affiliate_id=77157

The Wolf Pirates are written about in ways which means they are much more than bandits see https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/wolf-pirates/

Checked main rules and Cults book for both Daka Fal and Waha with respect to tithes to temple for a priest/shaman Doesn't feel right that they give up 90% of their income as they're no temples to support just them The specific PC is playing an Earth Wicth whcih has a similar set up Any ideas or input would be appreciated

I was interested on the customs about ransom in general. Do you give them their equipment back? The repercussions from the Wolf Pirates are a different matter

So the PCs have captured a bunch of Wolf Pirates mainly through the actions of their Shaman's Dehori (darkness spirit) The Wolf Pirates were incapable when disarmed then surrendered. The Wolf Pirates will be ransomed. The question I have what's the usuaul custom with equipment would it be returned or kept as war booty?

ANy idea when the link has gone? I'm interested in the maps

Which book/zine is this mentioned in?

The Britons were still using them when Ceasar visited. "In chariot fighting the Britons begin by driving all over the field hurling javelins, and generally the terror inspired by the horses and the noise of the wheels are sufficient to throw their opponents' ranks into disorder. Then, after making their way between the squadrons of their own cavalry, they jump down from the chariot and engage on foot. In the meantime their charioteers retire a short distance from the battle and place the chariots in such a position that their masters, if hard pressed by numbers, have an easy means of retreat to their own lines. Thus they combine the mobility of cavalry with the staying power of infantry; and by daily training and practice they attain such proficiency that even on a steep incline they are able to control the horses at full gallop, and to check and turn them in a moment. They can run along the chariot pole, stand on the yoke, and get back into the chariot as quick as lightning" (Gallic War, IV.33). Not as rocky as Sartar but not as flat as the or dry as the middle east Chariots are very good if you don't have big horses. They are also great missle platforms and as stated by JR function as paltforms for spellcasters

As a follow up what happens(ed) at the trade site in the Quivin Mountains?

Thanks. Didn't think to check that map. Spent hours poring over others

Silent Trade Landing is mentioned in Sartar Companion as a place to trade with Dragonewts Is it the same as the trade site? If not where is it located or has it disappeared from the world?

A shaman has control of a spirit after beating it in spirit combat e.g. ghost or elemental I'm assuming that this is similar to having a spirit in a binding enchantment In other words the spirit can be commanded to do a task and is then free. Would the use of a control spell allow the spirit to be forced to return. For example fire element go and attack the troll then return

Thanks to Jeff Richard on FB "Dragonewts are both familiar and extremely mysterious in Dragon Pass. They are of course familiar to most inhabitants - there are some 20,000 dragonewts in Dragon Pass. Dragonnewt Roads cross much of Sartar and Tarsh. The Trade Think Market is about 15 km off the Royal Road between Jonstown and Alda-Chur. And the dragonewts have served as mercenaries in recent memory. Dragonewt mercenaries served the House of Sartar in several wars but also aided the Red Emperor in the conquest of the Holy Country and in Prax. Pretty much everyone in Dragon Pass recognizes dragonewts, knows that they are intelligent, dangerous, and magically powerful. They know that some dragonewts ride demi-birds (more on them later), some are big, some are small, etc. They live in "cities" scattered throughout Dragon Pass and travel on magical roads. Obviously, they are connected to the dragons somehow. But beyond that, dragonewts are mysterious. They speak an alien language almost impossible for humans to learn. They mostly keep to themselves, only engage in regular interactions at a few designated places or with a few designated individuals. Their gods are largely unknown, their life cycle a mystery, and so on. A few Lhankor Mhy sages have tried to study the dragonewts and there are no doubt scrolls that shed some light into their mysteries on file in Jonstown or Boldhome. Obviously during the Empire of the Wyrms Friends there was much more interaction between dragonewts and humans - but sadly so much of the knowledge of the EWF was lost as a result of the Dragonkill War."

How much about Dragonewts is known to the humans of Holy Country and Dragon Pass. Is it likely that the rebirth progression is common knowledge i.e. available in a temple of Lhankor Mhy not to the local farmer? What about dream dragons being related to a true dragon? Any thoughts would be appreciated as I'm clouded by what I know

The mount falls over. The rider hopes they weren't travelling at speed

Thanks. Means the scenario idea I have stands up

I haven't found anything specific but suspect Dragonewts don't automaticaly show respect to the healers of Chalana Arroy Anyone got any specific information?

You make you're own bread and take it to the communal oven

How's the book progressing?

Cattle raids are usually done with permission of the clan ring. The cattle are then given to the clan. Some will usually be given back. They get better stuff by adventuring or doing tasks for the clan. Sartar has a vibrant economy just not cash based. The players need to know that they're not in Kansas anymore. Finally YGWV

Problem seems to be the players. My group came from playing lots of D+D. The first fight in Apple Lane changed their mind-set on combat. Any combat is deadly. Standing upto an Earthshaker or similar is probably going to get you killed

Though he uses modern not bronze age human weights. In the iron age Romans commented on how large Celts were. Same thing was said about vikings. Both may have been propaganda Size of people varies on cultural background and early diet. Average height of Japanese has increased markedly since WW2.

A lot of the energy being transferred is related to speed not mass of horse Having done jousting in an English saddle, admittedly with stirrups, I'd argue you don't need a high pommel and cantle to stay on the horse Stirrup makes it easier to get on and off the horse. They're not essential for riding or staying on 2h weapons on horse is are difficult to use. Get into problems with interference of weapon and horse Trousers were associated with horse riders But you don't grip when riding. Use core muscles, balance and flow with horse
