Agentorange Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Following on from the Dragon skin thread, I was left wondering whereabouts in Glorantha could you get Crispy Duck in pancake rolls. originally I figured the decadent Lunar empire. But then I thought maybe some of the more violent orlanthi might eat a meal as a gesture of contempt..... There's a scenario in there somewhere.

Cloud64 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 What I can tell you is that Gooseberry Sprig, resident chef at Apple Lane's Tin Inn is not amused by requests for plum sauce with a meal. He's heard the joke a thousand times, it's not original to him and be thankful that his professional pride is the only thing stopping him from p**sing in your stew, that and the fact the PCs had just done the hamlet a big favour. Yes, it was inevitable that my players would go there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Crispy Duck in Pancake rolls is a dish first eaten among the Maranaba folk of Tarsh to fatten their womenfolk up, that is now only popular among the Grazelanders. Eating sentient folk is a chaotic act, regardless of how much contempt you hold ducks in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just declared the trolls of Glorantha as a chaotic species. (However, most uz would balk at letting Fire mess with their food if they can have it without, except perhaps as a transgressive "spice".) You can argue that butchering sentients for eating is a transgressive behavior that may lead to Chaos when taken out of other mythical context. Funerary cannibalism already is something else again, whether done to kin, foes, or as a ritual to guide the dead on their way. Survival cannibalism in extremis is yet another situation, where "in extremis" may be the mythical framing for reliving the Greater Darkness. 4 Quote Telling how it is excessive verbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 It would be remiss not to mention the result of the 1613 duck pogrome, the enchanted duck bill worn as a necklace, granting the wearer a rudimentary swimming ability, increased agility, and the immediate hatred of any durulz they encounter. (I wonder whether rostrectomy with surviving subjects wearing prosthetic bills afterwards was practiced anywhere.)

Trolls eat sentient creatures all the time, in fact Kaarg Sons are ritually obliged to eat relatives. Many cultures eat Newtling Tails and are not treated as chaotic. The Cannibal Cult eat people and are not chaotic. The Maran Gor priestess at the Shaker Temple has cannibalistic virgins, are they chaotic? Oh, but maybe you mean Ogres, yes they are chaotic. Also, Glorantha has normal ducks that are not sentient and can be eaten freely. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982. Many Systems, One Family.

EricW Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Many ducks are Humakti, some have likely heroquested for more death magic to fight Delecti’s undead hordes.

Survival cannibalism in extremis is yet another situation, where "in extremis" may be the mythical framing for reliving the Greater Darkness. Not just the trolls. The Tarsh Exiles, stern foes of chaos, are notorious for their fondness for cannibalism. Butchering sentients for eating is generally disapproved of among many humans, but that is a human quirk not shared by any other intelligent Glorantha sapients.

Most unlikely. If you are *that* dedicated to Maran Gor, you probably are not just an initiate. Perhaps that's what happens to the virgins and the high priestess when it's time for them to go to heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
