Martin Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Does anyone know anything about the Keeper of the Book that lived in the City of Wonders pre 1625. I am assuming it refers to the keeper of Belintar's book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff: "Belintar is surrounded by individuals who study his teachings and aid him in directing magical energies according to his inscrutable plans. Those are his initiates. The Tide Lord, the Constant Guard, the Reef Master, the Bridge Singer, the Keeper of the Book, the Red Destroyer, the High Priests of the Great Runes, and so forth, were all officials AND initiates into Belintar’s secrets."https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/wp-content/uploads/www.glorantha.com-forums/www.glorantha.com/forums/topic/holy-country-my-players-get-out/index.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming it refers to the keeper of Belintar's book? That seems likely. Beyond the reference noted above, I've not seen these titles used or referenced. The Red Destroyer suggests the role that Jar-eel used to sneak in and kill Belintar though. And the High Priests of the Great Runes are likely the Governors of the Sixths. Presumably the Constant Guard is the leader of the unit of that name that defends the City of Wonders.

Martin Posted January 29, 2021 Author Share Posted January 29, 2021 Maybe @Jeff could share some more details (if any) on the Keeper of the Book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Biles Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 In King of Dragon Pass, one of the quest chains involves people stealing 'Belintar's Book' and giving it to the player clan; eventually, agents of the Pharoah come looking for it. Belintar's Book is probably a Heroquesting guide/myth collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
