Surely rock lizards are rock coloured. Or are they big enough that they just don't care

Sword hand is still dodgy.

I wrote up a bit on Orlanthi currency, and why and how they got it.

Hopefully it's of some interest.

My pcs are carrying around a fair few copper oxhides.

Loper people make sauteed potatoes.

In my Prax payment is made in services, barter, herd beasts and trade goods, though there is hard cash in Pavis.  Cattle in Sartar is how wealth is measured.

Doh. Gimpy's.

What is the building it ends up in?

Hot chips after a night out in Glamour then. Curry sauce or gravy?

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.

It's why the Wicked Writher rites are so important, in my game at least. The khan uses it to bring fertility to the area and for the clan for the next year.

Not a veggie I associate with the Bronze Age (i come from Europe) so never thought about it to be honest.

My Lunars drink Juniper gin.

At this point, books one and two are "text-complete" and 3 nearly so. 

Approximately one third of the first book is material from the original trollpak, and the rest is almost all new material.

Great to hear.

No I am talking about the Orlanthi greeting rituals when one bunch of Orlanthi come across another. Proving that strangers are not dangerous when they arrive at your stead.

EDIT: I can't remember where I read about them. There's a mention in the Sartar book under hospitality for example.

Are there any examples in print or can someone give tell me what it is please?

So if someone was riding a Pol Joni horse and not a Pol Joni clansperson would they be safe amongst the Nomads? 

What would the Sartar settlers of Pavis county ride? Zebras or one of the many herd beasts of Prax? A mix? They each have their advantages.

Having street names is really handy as are house numbers.

Also by gaining thumbs you are emulating humans, whom you are already superior too. "Thumbs? I have herdmen for that."

Only Morokanth that live with humans need thumbs, or heroes that own an iron sword etc. That's when you heroquest and steal some.

How's this going, have the 50 backers come good with their survey?

Well, why not?

If you've got a wooden leg, why not invite a spirit to live in it that could grant you running magic?

People use magic all the time to grant them abilities they lack, or enhance abilities they do have. From acting like your god to walk on the winds, through calling upon a fish spirit to swim faster, or commanding the runes to let you walk across the water.

Why wouldn't the Morokanth find spirits that could aid them with tasks that require hands to do so?

 

Morokanthi bagpipes is such a terrifying idea. I love it.

Because i think having them thumbless makes them stand out.

Now they are the "Morokanth who have no thumbs except all of them that have spirit thumbs."

It's a neat idea, but in my view it fixes something that doesnt need fixing that's all. 

Next you'll be making charms to replace limbs...

Seems like a too easy fix to me.

Sand-paintings. Sharpened sticks. Mud wallows.  Healing herb gardens on migration paths. Who knows what a thumb-less sentient tapir can come up with now that they have a hairless ape to gather food for them!

Yes. The herdmen spend their day gathering food for the morokanth. They scatter about, gathering roots, bugs, succulents, etc., so that the morokanth don't have to spend their entire day food gathering. As a result, the morokanth can craft, worship, trade, scout, and do all the other wonderful things you can do when someone else is doing the time-consuming grunt work.

What can you craft with no thumbs?

Tak Eela is a sought after nature spirit in my game.

I will probably bring one of these by ship into my Nochet campaign. 

Make sure they don't stop at Corflu coz we will rob 'em first.
