I'm newbie to Glorantha, having only about one and a half year of occasional study of this wonderful world. I have a question arised since the start of Runequest Glorantha reading.

In RQG you can play a Sartarite, a Tarshite, a Lunar, a Praxian etc, different cultures in and around Dragon Pass and Prax. But players from Hendrikland / Heortland have been left out.

They are culturally very similar to Sartarite, and are dwelling between Sartar and Prax. In what they differ from Sartarite culture? And why they have been left out?

Thanks

Partially for length - the RQG book is too long as it is.

Partially for duplication - the Hendriki are pretty much the same as Sartarites. Each of the core homelands are very different cultures.

And finally because the Hendriki are actually there in the core book but as part of Sartar.

Heortland would largely duplicate Sartar from that perspective, so an obvious one to leave out from a space perspective.

Jaja IIRC had you planned on a Heortland book of some sort or is that wishful thinking on my part?

Any info on that being released if it is in the works?

Realize you are catching your breath from Nochet but still hungry for Heortland material as would be others looking to the Plateau as a homeland for PC's, especially if they are Esvularian.

You can refer to this thread for everything in the pipeline. Scroll down to "Other RQ releases coming later on". It has been submitted and accepted and is in the queue.

Different queue. The Heortland work is in the official Chaosium queue, not the JC queue, so out of my hands at this point.

I had seen that a while back and so the question... thanks Jaja.
