The Crimson Bat

Posted on December 17, 2021

The experimental landscape of Lunar mythology

The Glowline

Posted on December 15, 2021

Normally, Lunar Rune magic and Lunar magical techniques are only at full effectiveness three days out of the week. The other four days a week, Lunar magic is either underpowered or not…

Godtime Relics

Posted on December 14, 2021

Waertagi, Golden Wheel Dancers, Mistress Race Trolls, elder Giants, Brithini – Glorantha has many relics of the Godtime that exist (to the extent they still do) in defiance of the world of…

The Triolini

Posted on December 13, 2021

Silk is something found among the elites in the Heartland, in Lunar Tarsh, in Boldhome, and is quite common in Nochet, Rhigos, and Karse. Assuming the Lunar Empire has roughly the same…
