Snugz Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Hi, Why does Khorst (port city west of Handra) still exist in 1625 -- or does it? I am unclear how it has persisted with ship-hating Ramalia so nearby (~30km from capital Bizos!); not to mention the Alatan pirates. Yeah, Trachodon Marsh is a pain but Khorst is not THAT isolated from land? IMG, once the Boat Planet does its reveal in 1624, the Ramalians say enough of this nonsense and unleash Hell, so Khorst is first on the menu and that's that. But I wonder what others think.

I'm not so convinced, as the New Fens are much larger (in terms of what is Ramalia-adjacent), not full of dinos but still very unfriendly folk, newtlings and Lutrai; and yet Handra (which is out in the Mournsea; and MUCH further from Ramalia/Bizos) has had a really rough time with Ramalia?

Lutrai isn't a name for the Giant Otters of the New Fens. Handra has no history in the Guide to Glorantha with having a 'rough time' with Ramalia.

Indeed, following it we might assume that Ramalia has attacked no one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My main problem with Khorst is how it manages to feed itself - Cajun-like harvesting the marshes to support an urban population?
