  1. Combat is never predictable. Kopis are used by most Lunar soldiers.
  2. Not canonical. The Army List details are derived from published and unpublished material by Greg Stafford.
  3. Page 19: landscape spirits, snake daughters -> landscape spirits, Snake Daughters Page 30: and in Old Prax -> and in Old Pavis Page 32: still provide touch with the spirit -> still provide contact with the spirit Page 34: is stuck in the brain -> is stuck into the brain [the sentence reads oddly] Page 35: four years total -> four years in total Page 35: This spell merges the caster’s consciousness with their bow -> This spell merges the caster’s consciousness with their elf bow Page 37: Fear Rune spell -> Fear Rune Spell Page 40: I can only remember them as gods now - need to explain who 'I' is. Belintar. Perhaps needs an explanation in the introduction? Page 40: opposes the It Potential -> opposes the it Potential Page 41: and the takers began to take themselves -> and the Takers began to take themselves Page 46: can draw upon the guardian spirit’s magic points while within the precincts of the structure. [Formatting error?] Page 46: become a priestess of Asrelia with further requirements [What are the further requirements?] Maybe this should read: become a priestess of Asrelia with no further requirements.
  4. The Hell Sisters ride Daron horses, not demons. Details in my book: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/296535/The-Armies-and-Enemies-of-Dragon-Pass?
  5. Page 21: Craft (woodworking) -> Craft (carpentry) [See RQG page 185]
  6. Page 92: with the issue that followed in his wake -> with the issues that followed in his wake [Debatable] Page 93: Rune spell for free -> Rune spells for free Page 94: They are mindless and are whipped into an enraged passion and frenzy until the very stuff of their souls is worn away into the grit of the chaparral sands. [Start of paragraph should be indented?] General: for some reason searching the PDF for sea gods finds the term hidden in many of the introductory deity images/text. General: Sometimes Sea Gods, Sea gods, seagods. Sea Gods on page 96. General: Sometimes Storm Gods, Storm gods General: Sometimes Air Gods, Air gods, air gods Page 98: stacked with Rain (page 71) - The spell Rain isn't in this book. It is on page 336 of RQG but should be given here? Page 99: a River Priest can ritually withdraw Heler’s blessing -> a Rain Priest can ritually withdraw Heler’s blessing Page 99: They provide Cloud Call -> He provides Cloud Call Page 99: western Dusk Gates -> western Dusk Gate [or Gate of Dusk] Page 101: Humakt’s main worship is among the Storm worshipers of Genertela, and in Enkloso and Vralos in Pamaltela - and Umathela? Page 105: Should Sense Assassin be detailed here? Sense Chaos is defined for Storm Bull so this omission seems unintended. Page 125: The Bearwalker is fully supported by their liege -> The Champion is fully supported by their liege Page 134: cults from Prax -> cults of Prax Page 138: Need to clarify whether Decrease Temperature can reduce the temperature to zero and lower. Page 149: The Roaring God Ygg is the son of Vadrus and the sea goddess Neliomi - the next page contradicts this and says - Ygg is a rapacious son of Vadrus, the god of violent and destructive change, and Nelarrina, a minor goddess of the Neliomi Sea Page 152: Ygg hates the Kingdom of Logic and its heirs (Brithos, Loskalm) -> Ygg hates the Kingdom of Logic and its heirs (Brithos and Loskalm) Page 152: Ygg hates the Kingdom of Logic and its heirs (Brithos, Loskalm) [Also Seshnela?] End of first pass.
  7. Page 1: Vinga should be a secondary header under Orlanth? Page 2: the Lightbringers’ Quest was unique in that it moved through the realms, tying them together and making important links fall apart - fall apart seems wrong, perhaps - restoring important links Page 11: Gray Lords -> Grey Lords [One instance of Gray Lords in the book, two of Grey Lords] Page 31: Craft (woodworking) -> Craft (carpentry) [See RQG page 185] Page 43: healing arts -> Healing Arts [Two instances] Page 43: From Aldrya, hey can learn the spirit magic spell of Preserve Herbs -> From Aldrya, they can learn the spirit magic spell of Preserve Herbs. Page 48: Marsh, chaparral -> Marsh, chaparral, grassland, steppes [?] Page 69: The Blue Philosophers: They range far and broad -> The Blue Philosophers: They range far and wide [odd wording] Page 70: Every Year during the Sacred Time -> Every year during the Sacred Time Page 70: pilgrim Sages arrive at the Spike -> pilgrim Sages arrive at the Block Page 71: Oratory (from the associate cult of Eurmal) -> Orate (from the associate cult of Eurmal) Page 71: Oratory (from the associate cult of Eurmal) - Eurmal does not have a skill of Oratory/Orate - should this be Issaries or Orlanth? Page 78: Craft (woodworking) -> Craft (carpentry) [See RQG page 185]
  8. Miskos was abandoned after the Vent erupted. Even though most of the ash went westward towards Slontos, there was still a tsunami that hit Miskos hard. It was abandoned and Backford founded. https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/history-of-kethaela-the-second-age/ Basically the city was hit by a huge 'tidal wave' and swept away or buried in mud.
  9. That would be a minor temple of Orlanth Thunderous. The Earth Temple is at the base.
  10. The book was published in 2004. https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/catalogue/publishers/issaries/issaries-heroquest-1-products-2003-20xx/masters-of-luck-and-death/
  11. A pencil version without dates.
  12. One of Greg's maps Jeff shared a while ago, showed Dawn Age Lightbringer missionaries reaching western Melib.
  13. As Nick says, thanking people is always good; I also try to add a Sources list of publications, whether official or Jonstown Compendium. My current project includes this:
  14. It's like any sunrise - the sky lightens from black to grey pr dark blue, and gradually more color appears, and then the dawn comes and the sun rises. So after the Great Darkness, there was the Grey Age, and then the Dawn and the birth of Time.
  15. The best source, so far as I am aware, is the Glorantha Sourcebook. I don't believe the other Sisters feature in the Earth Goddess book. https://www.chaosium.com/the-glorantha-sourcebook-pdf/
  16. Several cities have such entities as protectors, the most famous being Orlanth's birthplace, Whitewall, where Garan the Low Star, married Serias. One of the gates of Storos is guarded by another Star God.
  17. God Learner contact with Peloria was limited by their enemies, the EWF, sitting astride the main route north.
  18. It's interesting looking at the map of roads in Esrolia; I suspect that some of the Manirian Road is actually by river, and its final stretch is via the Gorphing River, or at least follows her river valley. In what I believe is one of Greg's maps, the river is navigable (by boats, barges?) for a long way to the west, even further upstream than Kithma. Whilst a road does follow the river for some distance, river trade is, at least downstream, faster and cheaper than carrying goods on mule back. I would expect goods to then be transhipped to Nochet and to Karse.
  19. True, but the goods will travel via Rhigos and be subject to tolls there.... It's likely that there's one of the 52 Tombs of Castelain at Rhigos.
  20. The Guide to Glorantha weather chapter includes maps that show sailing routes.
  21. True, but Rhigos is the eastern terminus of the Manirian Road and once surpassed Nochet in size and wealth.
  22. The Manirian Road runs from the cities of Safelster, the caravans gathering at Drom, to Rhigos in Esrolia.
  23. The majority of the Missing Lands material is in the Guide to Glorantha.
