M Helsdon Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Two questions. Does anyone know (and can they tell me): The symbol of the city of Darleep. Who (or what) is Verrogors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who (or what) is Verrogors. Reference for the first? Verrogors was the original spelling of Verogors the sixth king of Saird (1045-1085), Verenmars’ great-grandson. The original reference is in my Verenmars Saga. Verogors was 1 when his father died, and came of age in 1062. He made his capital at Mirin's Cross. In his later years he was a great builder and works included the Palace of Black Dogs at Jillaro-above-the-Estus and at least one famed building in Mirin's Cross.

If so, 2nd from right looks like Shargash's rune, the left two look like Lunar symbols. Can't tell for sure with right-most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something I've just seen suggests what I thought I knew about Stonewall shield decoration is now out-of-date... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffjerwin Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 If Darleep has a connection to Lodril (http://glorantha.wikia.com/wiki/Darleep) - considering that the sacred precinct there is associated with Oria the Lover, Lodril's wife, then there are probably Lodrilli (i.e. phallic?) symbols on the city emblem. Oria, on the other hand, is connected to baskets, needles, and acorns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Helsdon Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 Thank you everyone for information. It seems likely that the symbol of Darleep being used by a Stonewall regiment on their shields is now defunct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
