Fazzur's estate

[Soccercalle]

My PCs may need to free a hostage being held by Fazzur Wideread in his family estate. Is there any published information about Dunstop, the Orindori clan or Fazzur's estate?

The Well of Daliath has paydirt on Dunstop:

It's mentioned in passing in @Jeff's recent Tarsh comments:

The core of Tarsh is a Lunar Heartlands colony centered on Furthest. There is a smaller satellite colony around Dunstop.
 

These colonies are overwhelmingly Lunar in character - in the city of Furthest almost half the adult population are initiates of Lunar cults, and in the rural areas around Furthest that percentage rises to more than half the population. Think the Greek colonies in Central Asia - these Tarshites are self-consciously Lunar. And not as converts to the Lunar Way - they likely claim (often spurious) ancestry going back to those who followed Hon-eel in the Fifth Wane, and the Maize Goddess is very popular there (indeed on the maps you can see this area as the Maize Belt)....

 

Dunstop is interesting, as it is the mixing ground. Although a third of the city follows the Lunar Way, they are outnumbered by Ernalda and her son Barntar (Orlanth Thunderous). In the rural areas, more than a third follow the Lunar Way and Hon-eel is particularly popular. But over half follow Ernalda and Barntar (Orlanth Thunderous). Some speculate that this situation only works because the charisma of the Orindori clan, who manage to straddle being Red Goddess initiates while maintaining the loyalty of the local farmers...

 

For the Orindori clan, you can read up on Vostor Blacktooth and his descendents in the Glorantha Sourcebook or King of Sartar. Fazzur Wideread's character sheet in Wyrms Footnotes has some family details, possibly also contained in those sources (I haven't cross-checked).
