jrutila Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Not sure if I missed something or having faulty pdf (or reader) but does anyone else have captions in, for example, those whole page illustrations? Or where can I find the description for the page 22, for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oracle Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Same here. I'm just not sure, if this is intentional or a mistake ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkokko Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 would be lovely to have captions for everything - at least on a list somewhere...

7Tigers Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Could be put in the next (soon?) Wyrm's Footnotes for example! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noita Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 I was hoping we were doing speech bubbles for a laugh when i read the titles. But yes i would like to know what is going on in the pictures too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the Vasana saga ones, you can pretty much gauge the action/events by the saga text. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MylesC Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Please do add captions in the final hardcover. So much is going on in some of the illustrations that I want to know more about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we will see that as I think it's been noted that the book has already gone to the printers in order to be available at GenCon. Suggest a new thread for questions, speculations, and thoughts on the illustrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sable riders fleeing past Vulture's Country and into the wastelands. (I think specifically fleeing into vulture county. They're driving their herd while some watch guard.The woman in the foreground is looking to the lands they are being forced to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the size of both Vulture's Country and the Wastes, I'm sure there's plenty of local detail we haven't seen. p.122 notes "With the defeat of the Lunar Empire in 1624, the Sable Tribe lost their ascendency and many have fled past Vulture’s Country into the Wastes."

Prax is littered with them, really. Remnants of old gods and spirits, dead or petrified and broken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madrona Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Most of the pictures seem pretty easy to follow if you either follow the Vasana's saga things on the side, or read. Except for like, pg. 22 (mentioned) and probably pg. 12. (at least as far as exact identities of everything there. I'm probably going to look really stupid and say, TBH, I'm not sure of them all. (Mostly the light on top of the spike, is that Taraltara?) Though the pg. 20 image of the Lightbringers Quest... I... never thought Flesh Man would look like how I generally envision Teelo Norri. I guess a mortal would look small and weak next to gods, but he's so sad he makes me think he's a frumpy little girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I like with this picture is that it challenges some of our prior notions as to what these characters may look like. Alternately, it may be that this is simply one group of questers on the Lightbringer's Path. 1 hour ago, Madrona said: probably pg. 12. (at least as far as exact identities of everything there. This also appears in the Glorantha Sourcebook, p.66. The caption there reads: This fresco is from the City of Wonders and depicts the deities of the Celestial Court and the Great Elementals. Top row: Glorantha; Second Row: Ouroboros; Third Row: The Celestial Court — Uleria, Orenoar, Harana Ilor, Acos, Larnste, Ratslaf, Tylenea, Kargan Tor.; Fourth Row: Yelm.; Fifth Row: Umath; Sixth Row: Gata, flanked by Genert and Pamalt, and the various land goddesses.; Seventh Row: Zaramaka, with Daliath, Sramake, and Framanthe.; Eighth Row: Dame Darkness, Nakala, encompassing the Father of Demons and the Mother of Space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pity, as the book would benefit from the tribal errata sweep and from captions to the lovely illustrations. In their absence, I agree that a separate thread identifying them would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedopon Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Page 373 is definitely a Raiders of the Lost Ark quote. Quote 121/420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
