Pentallion Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 That was an awesome tale. I'd never read it. Thank you for sharing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runeblogger Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 (edited) 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?

Some of the names are the same, but I don't think he had developed Glorantha as we know it all too much. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HreshtIronBorne Posted April 28, 2019 Share Posted April 28, 2019 Either way though. If a troll god can steal fire powers from yelmalio then there's no reason some other god couldn't steal powers from a fire god. Enough of them died in the Darkness.
