Hi, About the entities refugeed at the Paps. Were there gods/goddess of diferent elements (air, fire, earth...) and runes (truth, harmony, movement.....) Those gods/goddess are no longer worshipped outside the Paps?. How can their cults be restored? Thanks.

Hi everyone, Does anyone know Lodril's myths and where to find them? Not the name only but the story too. One of my players want to become a Heroe of the cult Thanks everyone.

Hello David, What are your thoughts about the three-bean-circus in your book? Are they gods/goddess with the harmony rune as their/his/her rune cult? What was his/her/their position in generts pantheon? Can we get cooperation/diplomacy charms/rune spells from that cult? Thanks again.

Wow! Impresive, truly. I thought they were star captains because of the sky and moon rune. So in generts pantheon were represented all elements?

Hi everyone!! What do we know about the "Hidden ancestor"/Twin stars? I cant find mythos about them. Have fun!!

Hello, I have a question from my players that i dont know how to answer. Whats the difference between the "balance power" of the moon rune and what Harmony rune does? Thanks.

But Conditions Runes are important in Glorantha, so the GMs will have to "complete" the "sets". That is what I am going to do. For example, one of my players want to do the "I fought We won" heroquest and if He is victorious I will give him the Star Heart (Mastery rune at PER+CHAR) as an ability. If he resist the Face he will get a mystic ability and use of the Contrachaos spell power.

You are right of course. I was trying to explain that if your cult has the Issaries rune, that, does not make you a Trade god automatically. I try hard to call it Issaries rune or Exchange rune instead of Trade rune to avoid years of God Learning mind-conditioning

Ok, these are the spells in RQ for Ronance once his cult is restored and the runes to activate those powers. I dont have the new rules but i will go for the Issaries rune instead of Motion rune i simply put both because i dont know how the new rules work. There will be others of course but my heroes will need to heroquest to get them. Pathway: (Issaries rune or Motion rune) We already know how this works Bless Seeds: 1 Point, Stackable, Ritual (Earth rune). Ronance bless a number of seeds to cover an area equal to the Bless Crops spell, those seeds are put to "sleep" and will not rot while they are inside a sacred and sealed jar. Once they are spreaded on the ground (you dont need to plough it) they will grow as if they were under the effect of a sunripen spell. BUT you still need a fertile soil. Expedition: 1 Point, Stackable, 12 hrs (Issaries rune or Motion rune). A number of mounts and its riders equal to 10% of your Motion rune have their daily movement (not combat) tripled. Celebration: 1 Point, Stackable, 24 hrs (Issaries, Harmony or Earth rune) Ritual. For every point, a number of people equal to 10% of your harmony/issaries/earth will be affected (voluntary, not even resistance roll will be necessary). During the celebration even the poorest wine (even only water) and meal will taste delicious, the music, jokes and conversations fully enjoyable. Everyone will have a great time. You can remove yourself at the moment of your choosing.

Hi, we know that the Issaries rune is more than simple "Trade", is also "exchange" and "communication". A minor god as Ronance doesn't show the full powers of the runes he is associated with, but only some aspects. I think we usually, myself included, make the mistake to think that because a god has a rune he can use every aspect of it. I don't think that is the case, maybe i am wrong. I also think that those "Roads" we all have read about Ronance, could be used as real roads in Gods Age but that its real purpose was more esoteric and mystic. After what happened to the Garden in Darkness i think that those "roads" were likely "Ley lines" of geomantic power. Those Ley lines were the conduits used by the magical life force of the earth to keep everything bounded and alive. Ronance thru his use of the Issaries rune was the Keeper of the Conduits. Where the Ley lines intersected a "Node" was created, a place where life and magic was particularly strong creating a reservoir of sorts, and maybe that is the reason for oasis existence and survival. That will explain why Ronance has not an easy existence in the wastelands but for Ronance's Well, which has strong mythical ties with him. When Genert was destroyed by chaos and the Garden was blasted to pieces, Ronances network was shattered. Waha reknitted those pieces he could in his Wahas Net Quest, but it was not enough (not offense Waha, you did a great job) the lay lines were not restored, they were dislodged, unconnected because what we have in the Wastelands is a Patchwork Land of different pieces that were reknitted by Waha. If Ronance were a "Motion Rune acces God" even a minor one, going outside Paps would not be such a great problem for him. And the survival of those Lay Nodes as oasis is the main reason because we can use the spell "Pathway" that give us the direction to the nearest oasis but not actual distance because those Nodes are not in the same place they used to be and the network is shattered. That is the explanation that I have for the minor travel powers of Ronance (Chariot included), his lost fertility powers and his role in Generts Garden. Issaries rune is a mix of Motion and Harmony and in those minor aspects i think is the rune that suits Ronance perfectly well and explain why He can only keep some strength in the Paps and Ronances Well as the Guide says. And also would explain why Ernalda is so weak there. In my Campaign Ronance is key to the partial healing of the wastelands, the heroes will have to retrace and remap those "roads" that still exist and reconnect the fragments using the oasis as departure points. They will have to bring the network "online" even before anything else. Later they will have to quest to bring back that daughter of Genert Scott wrote about in other commentary, and bargain with Asrelia to get access to soil spirits. Finally they will have to enact a Ritual of the Net to bind everything in the earth together and bring Ernalda with the support of Eirithia. That is only the "Earth part". The heroes will be true gods in the earth pantheon at the end.

Ronance in my new campaign in Glorantha: First I am going to explain why i think Ronance's cult should be Issariess rune and Earth rune: a) Ronance was a God of fertility in Genert's Garden but when Genert was destroyed and the Garden blasted to pieces, Tada's Loincloth was lost and so were the fertility powers of Ronance. When Waha reknitted those pieces of the Garden he could find, the land was not the same. Genert was gone and Ernalda couldn't come back. Ronance keeps little fertility powers of his own thanks to his earth rune link but that does not makes him a Fertility God as in God Time. My explanation is that in God Time he was not the SOURCE but only the "administrator-channeller" of Higher Powers (Ernalda-Genert), a seneschal of sorts. With the Source gone there are not fertility powers, only those innate to him ( bless seeds, but not bless crops, and little more). He never had in my opinion the Life Rune. Also, he was a God of fertility but not a Movement God even if he has some movility powers, so i think is more apropiate to him the Issariess rune which is a mix of Change and Harmony related with travels and pathways. The Issariess rune is also the exchange and communication rune, not only physical but also magical. c) Is my thought that through the Issariess rune he used the fertility power given to him according to Genert's rules and distributed them and the same rune gave to him his limited movement powers. As a son of Ernalda and as an Earth god he has access to the earth rune for minor fertility powers and command of serpent guardians and spirits. Thoughts?

So, Urox-storm bull (air+eternal battle) = bisos (air+ life), i suppose Bisos is a pre- Great darkness myths of the great storm bull, right?

i hope someone develops earth pantheon myths and gods in the future and not only yelm-lunar-orlanth battle for supremacy.

Well, there is a magical "Forest of the Winds" where yinkin and Velhara live in Storm Realm

Well... that is possible but there is no "after" in God Time. So i dont think that is the case. Unless Jeff or other "Canon Keeper" clarify the matter.

Is strange because there are darkness, water, fire and earth plants in myths but not air plants. Maybe they were gregged

Hi, I want to start this topic to collect examples of air gods/goddess and discuss posible myths about them. I will start with the "Growing Wind" that was was killed by Urox. Does anybody knows about it? also i cant find air gods with the plant rune, why? Was the "Growing wind" one of them?.

yes, but going beyond that, if you see the void and not destroyed... what do you get? access to the Infinity rune? Time is a synthesis of entropia and existence so... can you refute the power of Time over you? You are not a God so you dont break the compromise you become a powerful mystic then

What power can you get doing this heroquest and resisting the void?

Is mastakos known to the praxians as Emilla? same powers? if so, mastakos is more complex than the orlanthi version of him/her. Did praxians know about him/her from the Loper People?

Great explanation David! thanks! your insights in this matter are great. Also your insights about the role played by water spirits holding together these places when the earth is weak are great.

Hi, Are Ragnaglar, Thed, Eiritha, Tada and Generts Garden linked? I read sometime that Ragnaglar could be the first air god to live in the Garden before The Bull coming.

It seems that Helpwoman is the same deity that Votankis Hearth-Mother. Am I right? Both found Foundchild and nurtured him, she helped humans in the great darkness.

So, if i play a durbaddath rune lord in prax, can i claim leadership over a band of basmoli as kin?. thanks.
