  1. Kajabor is in the old books, he is 'the Void' who destroys all matter and spirit of beings he attacks. Supposedly the one who drives people to Wakboth; Kajabor's depiction is to hammer out a gaping ruin in anything. He is often conflated with Wakboth, though himself utterly impersonal. One of my friends has that, actually. I think I'm going to read it. One of my favorite ways to think about deities is to try and construct a biographical narrative (or one of the many possible), and something that occurs to me is 'was Wakboth ever a child, and if so, what was he like?' or, in the case of Kajabor, who - exactly - decided to find him? Or how did he find the gods?
  2. Hey. I am new to the site, and have recently begun designing a setting for a home game borrowing heavily from RuneQuest/HeroQuest, H.P. Lovecraft and assorted real-life religions. I play all sorts from fantasy to superheroes, but I tend to like lots of setting material and depth, not necessarily all pre-conceived but also allowed to expand during play.

  3. Hi, everyone. I am new to the forum and to Glorantha. One of the things that I like best is the varied (if maddeningly vague and contradictory) mythos. I am interested in using a lot of the cults and deities in my own game, and in particular I am interested in finding out what all is known about Wakboth and Kajabor. I find both of them pretty intriguing theoretically/theologically, but not owning all of the books I have only been able to find very general stuff online. Does anyone know where these beings come from, why, what and who they are, what happened to them and if they are supposed to be back in some form or another? I have wondered how Yelm would respond to them. Also, a game question: if Wakboth and Kajabor are destroyed or fractured, what happens if someone worships them; not the Chaos or Darkness gods who may reflect them but directly; as (for example) the Red Empress herself seems to do?
