Near the End of the World - RuneQuest fiction by Greg Stafford


MOB

Recommended Posts

I have also enjoyed this read, and I am looking forward to reading more! :)

But I have some questions now. The first is: Is this the end of Glorantha or the end of the Great Darkness? I guess it's the former, because towards the end it says "when the dim sun rose". But didn't all the gods end like it is explained in King of Sartar? Or is this perhaps the corruption of Dorastor at the end of the First Age?

More:

- What kind of Dehore super runelord had fire-related ancestors? It looks very strange that the warrior deploys fire powers while following the god of shades. It's intriguingly paradoxical.

- What kind of character is the prayerman? Is he some sort of Malkioni?

I'm pretty sure this was written long before any of that was figured out. Some of the names are the same, but I don't think he had developed Glorantha as we know it all too much.

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. 👍

Funny how Dehore ended up being the name for a darkness god.
