bronze Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 (edited) How many Lunar Immortals do exist, and how many of them are known to us? Is there any information on them? Are there any known Lunar Heroes who partook in the Battle of the Castle Blue aside from the future Red Emperor and Great Sister? Do we know anything about Egi? Hoping upcoming Lunar book covers at least some of them, however unlikely the prospect is. Why there are so few Lunar Heroes during the Hero War? The Red Emperor, Jar-eel, and any else? Are there any known human Blue Moon heroes after the Time? Edited November 15 by bronze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heroes aren't particularly common anywhere - they require worship to fuel their powers. Beat-pot Aelwrin is the third from the original WBRM game. Great Sister probably counts as one. Also check out the Guide p.302: Alanthore, Bellex Maximus, Ivex Devouring Dog, and Send Valu might count as heroes, demigods, or similar. Some of the other earlier heroes are known to occasionally return to the mortal world including Aronius Jaranthir in Carmania, the Conquering Daughter, and Yara Aranis (the last is particularly noted in King of Sartar as the six-armed goddess of Saird). 54 minutes ago, bronze said: Are there any known human Blue Moon heroes after the Time? No, but if you learned about them, they'd have to kill you. 57 minutes ago, bronze said: Do we know anything about Egi? See Fortunate Succession p.53-4 has most of the known information. Also Flower Poem, Guide p.307, is noted as being one of them (and also immortal, so might count as a hero). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all there (some more than others) 13 hours ago, bronze said: Why there are so few Lunar Heroes during the Hero War? The Red Emperor, Jar-eel, and any else? There aren't that many in total: 12 heroes and 3 superheroes Lunar: Beat-pot Aelwrin, The Red Emperor, Jar-eel the Razoress (superhero) Sartar:Gunda the Guilty, Jaldon Toothmaker, Prince Argrath, Harrek the Berserk (superhero) Independent: Androgeus (superhero), Cragspider, Ironhoof, Sir Ethilrist, The Dwarf, The Feathered Horse Queen, The Inhuman King, The Twins. 13 hours ago, bronze said: Are there any known human Blue Moon heroes after the Time? The Blue Moon is a half-dead dead, and her empire was destroyed and her powers greatly reduced. There are only three localised groups that worship the Blue Moon: The Veldang in Pamaltela (two separate groups), the legendary Zaranistangi (maybe extinct) and the trolls of the Blue moon plateau. While a hero rising from these is not impossible, the cult is secret and no one knows anything about it. I'd look out for trolls who mysteriously join the cult of the Red Goddess. 3 Quote ----- Search the Glorantha Resource Site: https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com.

Nick Brooke Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 There’s a lot of good Lunar stuff packed into Crimson King that you’ll probably enjoy, including insights into the Blue Moon, the Egi, Beat-pot Aelwrin and more besides. 1 Quote Community Ambassador - Jonstown Compendium, Chaosium, Inc.

metcalph Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 18 hours ago, bronze said: Are there any known human Blue Moon heroes after the Time? The nearest is the Duke of the Blue Moon, who might also be the Emperor's Cousin. Quote [Lakistalia on the Blue Moon Plateau - PHM] is the home of the Duke of the Blue Moon. He, or his dynasty, has led the natives in worship of the Lunar Way since before the start of Time. They are accepted as relatives to the Empire and accorded every effort of grace and cordiality to an equal, but inferior, kin.

Nick Brooke Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 (We have no idea whether or not he’s human, of course. Greg enjoyed the idea that even the most senior echelons of the Lunar Empire were perplexed and confused by the impenetrable masks and veils worn by their Blue Moon cousins.

SMM Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Is Creator still part of the Lunar pantheon? It appeared in the old RQ3 Gods of Glorantha, https://wellofdaliath.chaosium.com/home/gloranthan-documents/prosopaedia/deities/c/creator/, but I could not find It in the wonderful, new Cults of Runequest: The Prosopaedia.

Nick Brooke Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 We tend to say Creatrix nowadays, but I don’t think she’s in the Prosopaedia either.

mfbrandi Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 (edited) There is a little bit about Daroria (?= Glorantha) in the Guide: See p. 314 & p. 316 Although, if you told me the second mention was a typo for “Oria” (ViTuros = Lodril), I would believe you. Perhaps a “deliberate mistake.“ Edited November 21 by Scotty please keep cut and pastes to a few sentences 1 Quote Young Glorantha creationist and notorious void cultist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMM Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 Thanks for the answers. On 11/21/2023 at 7:12 AM, Nick Brooke said: (The Creator/Creatrix remaining outside their creation is very on-brand.) Nick, I was a bit slow on the uptake with this, but very true 😀 metcalph and mfbrandi, thanks for pointing me to Daroria. I had missed that. A follow-up question if you don't mind. From Daroria's entry in The Prosopaedia, "She has always been present, but humans did not perceive her until the late Second Age. She was revealed to be the divine power behind the lesser goddesses of Dara Happa". What happened? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metcalph Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 SMM - The Dara Happans were purging their religion of Carmanian influences in the "Yelm is not that!" movement. A secondary wave of reformation "She is that" lead to the recognition of Daroria. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
