they did not

honestly the Three Bean Circus is somehow the queerest part of Glorantha, even though I have no idea why

Oh my god it's Danny the Street (first appearing in Doom Patrol #35, August 1990)

I somehow started with this line and I salute your scholarship

wow, DARLENE did the cover for that, how cool

they literally are chaos beasts was my point

broo are beastfolk! they're just corrupted entirely.

i thought that Cragspider was in fact an initiate of Arachne Solara, isn't that her entire shtick? https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/gloranthan-documents/prosopaedia/deities/a/aranea/cragspider/

I mean the answer to this is "depends on your game", but enlightened or not, if you are chaotic they smoosh you. Also, Illumination doesn't make you automatically safe from Chaos detection. There's only one canonical broo without a Chaos rune; they'd likely be really confused about what to do with him

to be fair to Orlanthis judging people, the Sun Dome is also tainted by the Bright Lord's teachings so they are also corruption

the Red Goddess' "goal" is to usurp-embody as a new head of all divinity in Glorantha, which is why she is so dangerous sexy dangerous, though

yes but i was clarifying that at the time, the groups comprising "the Moors" largely did not include the Tuareg; that's also about a thousand years off

yes, it's an isolate. it's unclear if we'll ever be able to connect it to another language simply due to time. the same is true of Turkic, Mongolic, Korean, and Japanese. This is also true of Indo-European; there just a huge time-lapse and its closest relatives might have been lost. the other thing about the Altaic theory is that it isn't really one. No two people who argued for it back in the day even agreed on which families belonged to it!

they have a plastic-wrapped copy of aeroduel? that was released 33 years ago

Just as a point of clarification since I'm a linguist: the Altaic theory isn't real. Tungusic is just a language family on its own.

let me warn you not to read the original narratives, o innocent one

do you get to paint the modern models? the sigmar models are pretty as heck

the point of Warhammer was absolutely never realism

Scimitar is the end of a long trail of adoptions that originates in Persian SHAMSHIR, which originally just meant a sword. The first curved shamshirs appeared in Iran in or after the ninth century as exotic imports from contacts with Turks (at that time in Central Asia) but the real heyday of the scimitar in West Asia was after the Mongol conquests in the thirteenth century; before then, swords in the region were all straight and both single- and double-edged blades were common.

it likely depends on the dragonnewt

to be fair, partial plate is available in that era, but it just looks more like Roman soldiers than the 14th century. it just wasn't common or generally worth it when enemy weapons were stopped by maille

I can't remember where, can anyone remember? but I remember reading that dragonnewts often die because they've never in a thousand thousand lifetimes learned you have to eat

To clarify: The Umayyad conquest of Visigothic Hispania happened between 711 and 718 and was comprised of very early Berber converts and a minority of Arabs. This is the establishment of Andalus. The Blue Men are the Tuareg, who take their name from an inland Libyan trading oasis known in Arabic as Sijilmasa. Half of their current territory is now in Mali and Niger, but that is not their range a thousand years earlier when ibn Hawqal was the first writer to mention them.

that armor is dated to 1420; Saxons wore a mail shirt with a roman-style helm and relied heavily on shield and spear. Plate is very, very late.

I didn't want to say "d100 system of Chaosium games"; if D&D is everything from OSR to 5e, we can count CoC and RQ as one game
