    This well-preserved ruins remains from the EWF era. The Provincial Overseer has sponsored several expeditions to dig at the site, but the dragon-headed ghosts stalking the grounds drive the investigators away each time. Telmori haunt the forests around it, but both they and the Torkani avoid the site.

    They accepted luxurious gifts and Lunar wives, who entered the cults of their land and taught some Lunar magic to a few of their women. In this way, Jarst and Garsting were married into the Empire by the end of the Wane.

  4. Gonn Orta's castle is in a pass between some of the Eleven Big Giant Mountains in the Rockwood Mountains between the Elder Wilds and the Wastes according to Griffin Mountain p.175

    In the Glorantha Sourcebook, see the map on p.144, look for the mountains between the green Elder and the orange Praxians east of the grey Dagori Inkarth.

    If you download the free Argan Argar Atlas it's map 20 and shows Gonn Orta's Pass between Skik and Tarnk.

  5. Glorantha Sourcebook p.76 explains her parents, children, and some worship, including “She is also called the Mother of Death, for that Rune was made or found within her cavernous being before it was brought into the Surface World.”

  6. Recently on RPGnet I used the captioned version of the HeroQuest: Glorantha cover in the Glorantha Sourcebook to explain what's happening in the picture to a Glorantha newcomer. 

    I look forward to complex images like this receiving explanatory captions & keys in later publications.

  7. The RQG Bestiary groups them with all the Praxian Riding Animals on pp. 153 so I expect the Ostrich Tribe to have the same cultural & religious affiliations as the other Praxian tribes, like the Morokanth and the Bison Tribe. 

    IIRC the 3rd tribe of the Two Legged Alliance were Loper riders  (RQG Bestiary pp. 150).

    Birds tend to be Fire/Sky rune creatures, but they don't stay that way. So I'd say the Ostrich has Beast above Fire/Sky since they lost the Waha gambling contest. If you quest back, you might encounter Ostrich as a Fire/Sky creature in Genert's Garden. Like the Augner of Rinliddi (Anaxial's Roster p.22).

    But, we really need some source material on his opponents, the Lunars.

    What do they have that flies?  There is all of one Lunar Cult written up in RQG, and Seven Mothers is the "nice", proselytizing branch.  It's challenging to make a wide variety of good enemies out of them. 

    Looks at Strangers in Prax on his shelf and laughs. 😉

    They have wyverns trained to bridle and saddle. They have moonboats. They have Blue Moon assassins on giant moths. I suspect they could get worshippers of the Dara Happan Death god on giant bats with some effort (which would horrify the Dara Happans, I suspect). 

    There are Lunar opponents in reasonable amounts in the 13th Age Glorantha book that you can use to inspire RuneQuest Glorantha rebuilds.

  9. I’ve run a heroquest to Wonderhome in my 13th Age Glorantha campaign because my players returned the 3 troll ghosts from Vinga's Ford to the Mothers at the Castle of Lead. 
    I used the Elemental Cycle to decide what each stage would be: Darkness (Castle of Lead montage), Earth (dancing Maran challenge), Air (questing Orlanthi fight), Water (chaos infested river challenge), Fire/Sky (questing Dara Happan fight).

    The nearest to this would be the clans clustered around small settlements. Runegate is probably the easiest example to find in the adventures book. With the Enhyli, Lonisi, and Narri clans. Apple Lane is a smaller example with the Hiording and Varmandi (thane appointed by the Queen).

    Taraling. 😉

    The Lonisi were destroyed, triggering the Taral War. 
    Why, yes, the Narri were the centre of my last 2 HeroQuest games.
