  1. Hi, While reading the new Cult book of the Lightbringers, I saw the cult of Daka Fal. Their, it explain how to become a Priest-shaman. And it looks a lot much easier than what is described in the rule book (on the shaman rules). Did I miss something? Or as Daka Fal is a rune cult, becoming Shaman-Priest is easier?
  2. Hi. It is not clear to me how to play a healing spirit. When a PC is infected (not possessed) by a disease, how the healing spirit attack the disease? Spirit combat (but then no POW or Spirit combat skill)? When a PC is possessed by a disease spirit, am I right to have a spirit combat between the healing spirit and the disease spirit?
  3. I realized that hunger is an important part of the UZ but also of Krarsht. Any link between the two?
  4. Hi MOB, On Chaosium website, this book is still only in PDF. As I wanted to order some books, I'd like to wait for it to be present (in order to save shipping costs). Any date when it will be available on the website?
  5. Hi, Is there myth of chaotic snakemen? Snake is strongly related to Earth (Ernalda cults and even Pamalt is represented as a snake man). Then there could be some chaotic snakemen, no?
  6. Then a village pure Earth pantheon (Ernalda), close to an Chaos nest, could have anti chaos baberter gory, or Aldrya/High King worshipper to protect the clan? And if this village is in the South (even Umathela?), they could have Pamalt worshipper?
  7. Is there a anti-chaos cult in the Earth Pantheon? Or are they always counting on the husband part (Orlanth, Yelm, ...)
  8. Oups.. 😄 I see it as a secret society where some of the rich of the city, those that descend from the first settlers (it is in Umathela) and the local thieves guild work together for the prosperity (and the naval supremacy) of the city. Therefore it could be more of an ancestor worshiping or founder cult than city cult. And also, part of the members are Malkionists (Sedalpists here). And I don't have too much of a problem to mix Malkion and ancestor. They don't call it 'worshiping'. For them it is more a question of respecting the Founders. Is Black Fang a type of ancestor worshipping?
  9. I have a bug city (5000-10000 people). The important and wealthy people of this city have a secret local cult of the founder (the wealthy founder). Should it be a local spirit cult? But it looks also like an ancestor worship. In the rules, I could only see Black fang (secret fightning society) and Oakfed (more wilderness cult). What kind of 'power' should it give (except the fact that you are a member of the Wealthy of the city)?

    Grasshopper

    Uz are using a lot of insects, for many purposes. Grasshopper are very efficient in numbers. What stats should I use for them? Praying mantis but smaller and weaker?

    Hard Earth

    While reading the ToTRM on the Delecti March, if read something about the Hard Earth. But I found nothing on the Hard Earth (and why this cult seems so bloody). Any clue on this God?
  12. Hi, I played already few scenarios doe RQG. Very nice. But why aren't there any scenarios with broos? Did they disappear from the face of Glorantha? None with Uz also (except maybe smoking ruins butI'm not found of this scenario at the first reading)! I probably missed some.

    POW gain roll

    Indeed it could be a solution 🙂
  14. For a while, I thought it was clear on my mind. But re-reading the rule book, I not sure anymore Initiates gain a free POW gain roll at each High holy day of their God. And one more free POW gain roll at Sacred time. But what if the HHD is during the sacred time?
  15. In Varchep (Umathela, Pamaltela), it is said that Hero Varchep fought the Nighstalkers. what are they? Uz? Or some other horror that dwells in the region?
  16. I wonder how the Cult of Silence could spread? How can you explain the righteousness of the philosophy if you cannot speak? And it seems that even books are not allowed for this Sect (as they walled up books and libraries)?
  17. I'd like to play the Grey Crane with my player. A one shot to put us back on the right track (meaning, playing again...) But when I look at Miskander, i don't see how he can be a threat... He is bound to the table, and the only thing he can do is talk, cast spells, and throw some objects (the room is quite empty, then not much to throw). The player can easily take the Grey Crane and leave. Or did I miss something?
  18. Just wondering how common/rare are the dryads in Aldryami forests. I took an example : Vralos : more or less 500 km by 700km, therefore 350.000 square kilometers. Population 730.000 (From the Guide). Therefore we have a aldryami density (Brown and green elves, not the others) or roughly 2 elves per square kilometers (as low as mongolia or Western Sahara). We know that elves have a tendency to gather in clans/groups. Has each group at least 1 dryad? If a group/clan is around 100 elves, and there is one dryad, then it means that in Vralos, there is 7300 dryads, with a density of 1 every 50 square kilometers. Just to have an idea of how frequent they are.
  19. Thanks for all the input. But I was referring more on a Mythical level. Orlanth never fought the Vadeli, the Malasp (oh... maybe), ... At least from all the myth I have heard of (OK, mostly from the Dragon Pass area) are not easy to use in Umathela. And when you are a 15 years old Orlanthi, you do your first 'small' heroquest to follow the path of Orlanth. For most of them, no broos, no Uz (too far), ...
  20. As I didn't follow the whole discussion, why is it shelved? I play in Pamaltela (more Umathela but still) and would have loved to see some thing about it. I really loved you western book.
  21. Hi, I'm still not totally confident of how to see (and play) the Orlanthi in Umathela. When you look at most Orlanth Myth, it is a fight against Yelm or Chaos. And none of them are strongly prensent un Umathela. Chaos is more on Fonrit side (quite far for most Orlanthi in this area) and there is not Broos roaming in this area. The only solar good quite common is Yelmalio of the Aldryami. Then how young Orlanthi can learn to be Orlanth if the 2 main adversaries of their god are... not existant. Or the myths are totally different in the South than in the north (but the Orlanthi were imported around a 1000 years ago, therefore not that long ago to have totally different myths. Any idea from the Pamaltela Gourous here ;)

    Gods of stone

    I realized that in the Glorantha I know, there is no god of stone (Earth, yes stone no) : Miner, mountains, hard rock, quarrymen,.... And I can easily imagine that when you build a big city, especially in a magical world like Glorantha, they use magic to do it. But which God is helping to do it.
  23. Daka Fal has 'command Cult Spirits' as a spell. What are the cult spirits of Daka Fal? ancestors? Why does he need this? He shouldn't command ancestors...
