Baelor Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 A magical location, its effects, and some rumor and lore, that a GM could drop into any out of the way spot in Glorantha or elsewhere. https://d-infinity.net/game-content/runequest-208-magical-location-draugar-stone 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius West Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I like that the stone is offensive to Vivamorti. I wonder how worshippers of Gark the Calm would react? It sounds like a Zorak Zoran holy place to me, but I wonder if you could shift the boulder and retain its power?

soltakss Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 It is definitely an interesting place. As to how Gark the Calm worshippers would react to it, I suppose it really depends on how you see the cult of Gark the Calm. I see it as a bunch of mystics who have learned how to transcend death so they can continue in their mysticism even after death. They could see the Draugar Stone as something that gives a shortcut so missing the point of Gark's Mystical Path, so something that is to be pitied rather than hated. 1 Quote Simon Phipp - Caldmore Chameleon - Wallowing in my elitism since 1982.

Baelor Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 OK. My ignorance is showing . . . Gark the Calm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joerg Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) God of Zombies, generally assumed to be evil or chaotic, even though it allows your dead folk to remain active and productive members of society. "Live now, work off your debts when you're dead!" Or the Fonritian take on it: "Mere Death isn't the end of slavery."

God of inner peace through becoming a zombie. http://glorantha.tumblr.com/post/98049927088/lawspeaker-teach-us-about-the-undead As to the notion of Gark offering a mystical path, I am not so sure. They turn you into a zombie. All your problems are solved. Edited February 25, 2019 by Darius West 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baelor Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share Posted February 25, 2019 Yeah. I think the Draugar Stone (or whoever is behind it) has a agenda. The way I envision things. the zombies are failed wights - the wights are what whatever is powering the Draugar Stone wants to create. Are they truly free after creation? Or has the power behind the Stone simply not called them to task yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baelor Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Draugar Stone Part 2 - Wights of the Draugar Stone! https://d-infinity.net/game-content/runequest-thursday-209-draugar-stone-part-2 The wights could be anywhere of course, and not created by the Stone, for that matter. Also included an undead swarm )rats, bats, spiders, flies, and other vermin, raised as a zombie swarm by the ambient power of the Draugar Stone.
