O.K., I can accept this, with some disappointment. But, the distinct centerpiece of the cover art is Vinga, as noted, and praised, by @Wheel Shield and others. It is strange to feature Her so prominently on the cover, and ignore Her within. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's not ignored. She's one of the longer subcults in the series. She rated an additional Loic piece in the Lightbringers book. BUT Vinga is a martial AND female incarnation of Orlanth and that really covers it. Take any Orlanth myth and it can have Vinga, as she is he. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is the first image we've ever gotten of him. Where can we find that chart? Doesn't show up in my copy. It appears in the store page but you can't make anything out of it bc of its low res. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you bought the hardcover and/or PDF from Chaosium, it's available as one of three bonus files in the download page. Go back to your order and click the red download arrow and it's there. It wasn't there at launch, but was added a few hours later. 2 1 Quote -- An Unofficial Buyer's Guide to RuneQuest and Glorantha lists everything currently available for the game and setting, across 60 pages.

Yes, when we reprint a book we try to include as many corrections as possible. Two examples of this are the RQ Core RB and the Glorantha Sourcebook. We haven't needed to reprint most of the RQ books we have published thus far. 1 Quote Hope that Helps,Rick Meints - Chaosium, Inc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that since it's trying to condense the whole gods war into a single image, the viewer is supposed to come to their own conclusions about what all is happening and who is represented. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Mouser Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 I was speaking of the foldout. One deity intrigues me: the pale one with bare breast and golden hair at the right of the solar court, in the upper left of the fresco. It's not Chalana Arroy/Erissa i suppose (no flowers in the hair), or is it? Chalana Arroy is in the right of the fertility goddesses in the upper of the fresco, perhaps with is son Arroin, and has dark hair. Young Sedenya? Entekos? Another one?

Verithurusa, an early Moon goddess. See Prosopaedia, p.131. Also see Mythology, p.40-41, item 5. Note that in typical Dara Happan parlance, Verithurusa is often designated with a masculine suffix, e.g. Verithurus.
