I say seller should offer a big discount for the party providing needed rare components available only in the Big Rubble Garden part!

Hum, is it really reasonable to want to attack a Dream Dragon, most of all with beginning characters?

+1 for Poul & Karen Anderson's King of Ys series. French readers can also look at Bellovese celt king story : Rois du Monde by Jean-Philippe Jaworski (5 tomes for now). In march, we also got in France the translation of Donald Quest comic, but I guess it should be on the bottom of your reading list!

Parallels have their limit and should really be used for a very broad scope only. Basic parallel is Bronze Age ancient world, 1000 BC and earlier mainly. For details, I use previously shared parallels: . Orlanthi: Greeks of the Iliad, with constant feuds & raiding, with bits of Thracians / Black Sea celts . Lunars: More ancient Greek (Macedonians) & Persians than Romans, and with massive destruction weapons (Crimson Bat for example) . Dara Happans: Mesopotamians (Assyrians / Hittites) . Esrolians: Minoans (Earth matriarchy) . Praxians: Exotic beast rider nomads, living in an apocalyptic (Mad Max type) desert . Grazelanders: Old Magyars / Scythians . Sundomers: Spartans in the Wild West You can also check Guide extracts on glorantha.com: . For Orlanthi: http://www.glorantha.com/docs/quick-summary-gloranthan-cultures-part-one-orlanthi-dragon-pass-and-holy-country/ . For Praxians: https://www.glorantha.com/docs/praxian-overview/

Well, I would say respecting canon is only useful if you want to publish official material. Otherwise, if it is useful/fun/inspirational for your campaign, go for it: there will be not glorantha canon police coming for you at your table!

A blast from the past: Press Release, January 21 2001 Oakland, CA Issaries Inc. Signs Robin D. Laws to Write Novel Issaries, Inc., is proud to announce that it has signed up world famous author and game designer Robin D. Laws to write a novel for the Hero Wars fiction line. Robin is known for his excellent fiction works, including the novels Pierced Heart and The Rough and the Smooth. Robin is also the designer of the popular roleplaying games Feng Shui and Hero Wars, among many others. A Promise of Thunder is a full length novel about young Tarkalor, the forgotten son of the royal family of the Kingdom of Sartar. The young prince struggles with the burden of royal blood and divine descent during Sartar's war against the Lunar Empire. Robin comments, "I've always wanted to write fiction set in Glorantha. My Tarkalor novel deals with the nature of heroism, the clash of ideologies, and passionate family conflict; all perfect for good fiction. Not just good gaming fiction, but good fiction, period." => a glimpse of the future fiction line?

You have the "When the Wolf Pirates Came to the City of Wonders" by Phillis Ann Karr in "Gloranthan Visions", a collection of Gloranthan short tales that was part of Hero Wars: Roleplaying in Glorantha boxed set. Perhaps it will be reprinted in future to come Glorantha fiction line...

Jeff already did. Check the other thread:

According to Adobe Acrobat: Atlantis Grunge / Charcuterie Block / A Garamond Pro Calluna and Cronos Pro are also used.
-
as far as I understood, they are included in The Smoking Ruins, forming a mini sandbox around that part of Grazelands, with separate Grazelander Campaign book being also by Mister Klug.
-
Likely only after Gods & Goddesses of Glorantha is available so sometimes in 2020 I guess (personal guess).
-
As Jeff said: it seems a Rune/Spirit spells compilation, the equivalent of Cthulhu's The Grand Grimoire of Cthulhu Mythos Magic.
-
Or it could to be included in the Grazelands book...
