metcalph Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Poor Shargash. Every other war god gets Iron or some equivalent funky metal to enchant and he has... Tin. Dragonewts have Pternadons as mounts! The Sairdite helmet is rather extravagant while the Wolf Pirates seem to be rocking it with the Sea Peoples look.

Ian_W Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Tin turns the copper everyone around was using around there near the Dawn into the deadly Bronze. Just saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreJarosch Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Bronze can not be enchanted. But what happens if you take enchanted copper and enchanted tin to make bronze out of it? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily so: the smith-priests of Gustbran can enchant bronze, and I would be very surprised if the Mostali and Third Eye Blue cannot manage the same. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nahh, it's more the mindset of 'what happens if we enchant sacred-to-Shargash tin and mix it with the Earth-sacred copper' ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akhôrahil Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Chalana Arroy Resurrection has become massively cheaper (one year's income instead of ransom value), so something like 80L instead of 500L for a Free person. But it has also (sensibly, IMO) been stated that Resurrection is low on the list of CA priorities (the Rune Points might just not be there, or saved for something more important, or you're just not relevant enough). Interestingly, this means that if you accidentally kill someone, it can be worth at least trying to get them resurrected instead of paying wergeld.

Joerg Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 The Mostali certainly will have magic to enchant brass, the copper-tin alloy that resulted from Lodril leaping down into the gound and mixing his hot essence with that of the earth. In my Glorantha, much of the bronze dug up is from mountain deities - sons of however Lodril is locally called - killed by Storm Gods or other such foes. If you have to move rock to get at the metal, it is most likely brass. If you can pan it out of heavy sands, a Storm origin is likely for that bronze. I suppose there were plenty of gods who lost and after a while regrew limbs. There are hardly any disabled archetypes among the known pantheons, other than Hippoi, Gerra, Heler (who lost his connection to the Seas) and Humakt (who severed ties and possibly fertility).
