White/Grey for Air Rune. Yellow/Gold/Brown/Orange for Fire Rune? I bet that rule doesn't work either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Carmanian lions (in the Western Reaches) are a different sub-species, they have dark manes. The ones in Tanisor will be connected to the ancient Pendali probably. I think this means they will basically be the same as the Basmoli lions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassius Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 There are Mountain Lions in Dragon Pass according to Sartar Companion (Encounter 40a). The text states they cannot roar and they are amazing leapers ! Quote Runequest Glorantha France Fan Discord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The text states they cannot roar and they are amazing leapers ! Mountain Lion is another word for cougar (puma concolor), a very different breed of cat than panthera leo. Like cheetahs, cougars have closer relations to house cats than to the majority of the large felines of the genus Panthera (lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, etc.). In Gloranthan terms, cougars are not descended from Basmol. Alynxes may be closer relatives, although there doesn't appear to be a separate feline ancestor other than Fralar, the Hykimi god of carnivores whose descendants include bears and dogs and all the other side lines like mustelidae. It isn't quite clear when Gloranthan taxonomy introduces a common ancestor of a subgroup. Bears and antlered deer have such a shared ancestor as an intermediate step, but the Hykimi ancestors of alynxes, bobcats and lions are as close to one another as they are to the ancestors of weasles, otters, badgers, or hyenas. 1 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
