Reading the Starter Set I noticed that Garangian Bronze-Guts is High Priest of Lhankor Mhy and Chief Librarian (p. 38). Mata Min is ”Chief Priestess of the Jonstown Library” (p. 39). I guess the authority of the High Priest goes beyond the library, making Mata Min his subordinate in the cult. But who of the two is boss of the library? And what is a ”Chief Priestess”?

All new players in my campaign start as Ernaldori humans. After a year and a half ingame (two and a half years RL) I'm about to allow a dwarf PC (iron). I quickly made up a "Family" Histoy table based on a thread somewhere here, and the player has read the Mostali info in the Bestiary and the Sourcebook, and we've discussed the heresies and how the dwarf could become an "adventurer", or at least become part of the PC group. The introduction to the group will be well motivated (the Ernaldorian group is currently at Dwarf Mine). I hope (and think) it will be fun, and not cause any (unfun) problems.

I’m looking for a copy of this fanzine from the mid 1990-ies, especially the ”insert” on Dwarf Mine. Found it!

Oh sorry, I meant the characteristic loss. The other one I don’t know.

According to Remembering Caroman it’s basic character mp.

According to the gloranthan bestiary the wraith attacks by ”a special form of spirit combat” where is has to overcome the target’s magic points. Is this preceeded by the normal opposed roll of the Spirit Combat skill, or does it replace that opposed roll? (Also, it says the characteristic loss discussed in the first post is ”half the current magic points of the wraith.”)

I found this thread to be useful to find inspiration for Orgorvale's lost gifts.

@Jeff, will the "big campaign book" kill off Ivartha at the Battle of the Queens (bar heroic intervention from the adventurers)? This quote is the only place she is mentioned among the fallen.

Did you ever develop this further? I'd love to see what you did. Where were these items to be found by your adventurers? I'm considering hiding one of them in Bonn Kanach (from the JC). Maybe one in the Smoking Ruins. Maybe one in The Rubble (to get them there).

I let them roll for INT to remember.

Yeah, that’s what ”later rewritten” means.

In the first blog version of Andrew Montgomery's The Riddle (later rewritten and incorporated in Six Seasons in Sartar), the "other brother" tossed in the Sex Pit is experienced by the adventurers as one of them, but nobody seems to remember who. So it's not actually one of the clan children, but rather someone imaginary you need to try to save during your initiation.

How did it work out? Has anyone else had their adventurers participate in the Battle of Heroes?

Found this from Jeff on Facebook, on the Kheldon tribe: They are divided four clans: Black Rock Clan Deer Clan Vanstali Heran

I'm asking because I'm trying to set up a faction game using the Seeds of War rules. You can see what I've managed here:

I found the attached map somewhere on this forum, maybe posted by Jeff. I know the tribal borders of the Cinsina, Colymar, Culbrea, Lismelder, Locaem, and Malani tribes. Could someone please help me with the Curtali, Sylangi, Bacofi (?), Balmyr, Sambari, Balkoth, Kheldon, and Aranwyth tribe borders? Will all this ("current" clans and tribes) be detailed in the planned Sartar book, do you think?

At this point (late spring, early summer 1627) I assume people all over Sartar will have heard about the recent success at Alda-Chur.

The Glorantha Sourcebook has this to say: <quote>Argrath went to the Thunder Brothers at Old Wind Temple for a blessing, and got it. He went to Sun Dome County and installed his friend Rurik Runespear as Count. He went to Clearwine for a blessing from the Colymar, and got it. At Two-Ridge Fort he installed his friend Vailor Blue Fox as king of the Malani. Argrath put the Tricksters under his protection and told them to come out of hiding. Argrath then went to Boldhome, accompanied by his companions. </quote> Do you think that list of destinations should be read as chronological? Do you think he would be noticed when travelling around Sartar? Maybe people loyal to him joins him along the way? What about his army? I’m guessing he’d bring some kind of force (in addition to his companions). Or would he be able to install counts and kings simply by reputation?

Sorry, I have no more info on this.

I don’t actively ignore anything, I think, but as all games I’ve run have been in the Dragon Pass area I’ve not bothered to read up on the rest of the world. Also there’s so much info I go with ”good enough”. Fun is the aim, not Fantasy anthropology.

I've run ten years or so solo. I'm on the third or so knight. Never did it before, so no experience. For the combat centred adventure in the beginning of the GPC I should have added more knights. In battles it doesn't help to have more knights, as it's a series of solo engagements. I've done a large family tree to ensure there's someone to take over.
