If the Lunars were able to keep Delecti off their backs, I think the Lismelders would be pro-Lunar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have forgotten (or never known) that I played in the original Greydog Campaign back in the nineties, and pay keen attention to my old stamping-grounds. The idea that the Lismelder tribe is pro-Lunar isn’t supported by any source I’m familiar with. And they’re included in the most comprehensive list of anti-Lunar tribes ever drawn up. But YGWV, and I’m cool with that. 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

But YGWV, and I’m cool with that. Yeah, that's fair. Nobody wants their tribe to be quislings. In fact, when you get down to it, the main culprits are likely to be the Colymar, whose King Blackmoor was definitely a Lunar sympathizer. Of course things change, and with Leika taking charge the politics of the Colymar swung back the other way. On a related note, there seems to be considerable evidence that plenty of Sable Riders went pro-Whitebull, but nothing to suggest what the breakdown of numbers was in the overall tribe.

As I noted above, didn't help that I wrote "Lismelder" when I meant to say "Locaem"! But, yes, certainly some Lunar sympathizers among Blackmoor's allies.

Unrelated, but why are everyone in sartar so ready to unify behind Argrath but refuse to give Leika the time of day? is it just because Argrath has relation to Sartar, the person? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so. Leika could lead the Greater Colymar Tribe (plus misc. allies and hangers-on), but she can't ever be the legit heir to the Kingdom of Sartar, and Argrath can.

There may be a completely un-idealistic component to it, too: Argrath comes into Sartar with a great big honkin' army from Prax, with his White Bull society. If Sartar unifies behind him, then they get all the unified Sartar that Leika could possibly field, PLUS that Praxian army (with all that Sweet Stormbull violence!) and Yummy exotic White Bull magic. So the traditionalists, and those who hew to the ideals of lineage, get to chant "Sartar! Sartar! Sartar!" And the realpolitik crew get to look at their suddenly-MUCH-bigger-army, shrug and say "I'll chant whatever you want, as long as these guys stay here to fight the Lunar Scum!" 4 Quote C'es ne pas un .sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing. Argrath has a devoted personal warband of Praxian fanatics and funky Warlocks, and a working relationship with Harrek the Berserk's Wolf Pirates. He's looted pretty much every coastal region of Genertela and Pamaltela, knows secrets of the Giants and Dragons, and can access all the wealth and secrets of Old Pavis. Leika has... you lot, basically. The most deliberately backward tribe in the heartland of Sartar, existing in self-imposed quarantine from the power structures of the kingdom: no Royal Roads, no City Rings. (Quite a nice little whorehouse on one of the B-roads, I'm told, and the microbreweries are good) So that's another.

Depending on your view point, the Sable Tribe had a complex political issue when the Lunars were around. 2/5s were pro, 2/5s were conservative and 1/5 neutral. In the aftermath of Moonbroth II 2/5s were effectively eliminated. The remaining 3/5 were protected from most (misplaced) retribution by the most respected elder or by joining Argrath.The tribal Khan sensibly supported Argrath. White Bull members are roughly a third of adults (based on upcoming CoG cult distribution figures). Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.
