jajagappa Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 3 hours ago, Jon Hunter said: I used a good few , fired off lots of ideas too. Glad those helped. Btw, on your G+ post you noted "had avoided some of that stuff due to anything harvest/earth based is done by the Vendref not the womenfolk of Grazelander culture." Bear in mind that the Feathered Horse Queen is "is a powerful Earth priestess who incarnates imposing powers for her worshipers and is the embodiment of sovereignty for all Dragon Pass." She leads the Earth cults for both the Grazelanders and the vendref, and you'll likely find plenty of Grazelanders connected with the Earth Goddess, as well as the Horse Goddess. Think of them as drawing on the powers of Ernalda in both her fertility/earth aspects (childbirth, fertility of the soil) and her harmony/earth aspects in managing the 'households' of the vendref. The Grazelanders will be the priestesses, I think, not the vendref. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grazelanders will be the priestesses, I think, not the vendref. I think its an interesting questions where the lines of delineation fall with the female roles between the Grazelanders and Verdef, With the men its quite simple grazelanders - horses, war, fighting, sun gods. verdef - farming, trades, making, growing, other animals. I have the Grazelander women as being hands off agriculture and manual labour, but responsible for healing, horses, raising children, teaching, knowledge and mysticism Quote www.backtobalazar.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As regards what I write im going to focus on RQG as that is what most people want. I may bring ST:G out for some conference play one offs at some point.

Was noting what seemed to be lots of RQG-specific content, not much ST:G, and wondered if your campaign had shifted.
