Quivin Mountains II

Posted on November 29, 2022

The Quivin Mountains are a massif of the Storm Mountains, a subrange separated from the main range by the 1000 meter high Sambarri Pass. The subrange is quite small, only about 35…

The East Wilds

Posted on November 28, 2022

The East Wilds were settled by colonists from Dragon Pass over 1400 years ago. The East Wilds are a rugged land, and many live by herding or hunting. Until the Dragonkill War,…

Peloria Climate

Posted on November 28, 2022

Peloria has a continental climate for the most part. Most of it is quite dry, with warm summers and cold winters. Without humans, most of Peloria would be grasslands and ripurian wetlands,…

Prax and the Genert Wastes

Posted on November 28, 2022

So let’s think a little bit about Prax. As we all know, Prax is the western and comparatively fertile part of the Genert Wastes. Prax gets about 46 cm of rain and…

The Guardian Hills

Posted on November 28, 2022

Swenstown, like most of Eastern Sartar, is in the rain shadow of the Quivin and Storm Mountains (and of course the Rockwoods as well). No gentle summer rains there – on average…

Cinsina Flats

Posted on November 26, 2022

Was driving through Sartar this afternoon. We were east of Jonestown in the Cinsina Flats. I have always pictured Sartar as a bit greener and more forested as well. it is early…

Saird and Lunar Tarsh

Posted on November 23, 2022

Thinking about Saird and Lunar Tarsh, there are far worse models than the Snake River Plain of Idaho. Grasslands, alluvial plains mixed with rolling hills, surrounded by a semibowl on snowy mountains.

Good Place

Posted on November 22, 2022

We zipped through the Good Place with the mountains of Dragon Pass in the distance. This is among the most fertile areas of Prax and you can see why it is fought…

Notes on the Upland Marsh I

Posted on November 22, 2022

We made a quick trek to the outskirts of the frozen Upland Marsh. We avoided the Blackthorn trees and were in daylight so no signs of vampires or ghouls. Pretty sure there…

Quivin Mountains I

Posted on November 22, 2022

Spend a long day driving around Dragon Pass yesterday with the family. Here’s a great view of the Quivin Mountains from near Gold Lamb Hill. You can even see the valley of…

Why RuneQuest?

Posted on November 20, 2022

Playing RuneQuest lets us do many things. We can have an exciting epic fantasy adventure in an ancient world, like Conan, Red Sonja, Odysseus, or Alexander. It lets us imagine a world…

Lay Members

Posted on November 20, 2022

Being a lay member of a secondary cult is a useful way to gain training and spirit magic, without binding yourself deeply to the god and its cult. So for example, IMG,…

Battle Rules

Posted on November 17, 2022

Something I have long been frustrated by is the tendency that RPG battle rules have always been mass combat rules designed to determine the winner of a battle, rather than something player…

Four Ways to Experience these Stories (re-post)

Posted on November 17, 2022

As Cults gets closer and closer to some big and exciting announcements, here’s a little passage that I think is particularly important for this forum: Four Ways to Experience these Stories Myths…

Heracles on the Argos

Posted on November 15, 2022

If you are playing in the RQ Campaign, sooner or later your player characters are going to cross paths with the likes of Harrek, Prince Argrath, Gunda, the Feathered Horse Queen, Jaldon…

Well-educated Lunars

Posted on November 13, 2022

The following is what a well-educated Lunar might learn from an Irrippi Ontor sage in the 6th, 7th or 8th Wanes: SCIENCE AND REALITY Science bases itself on sense perception. Religion uses…

How Cults Change

Posted on November 11, 2022

The archetypes and patterns of the God Time are eternal and fixed. But what we in Time experience of the God Time, what we call things, what we offer magic points to…

Prax, The Lunar Empire, and The White Bull

Posted on November 10, 2022

The Lunar imperial presence in Prax was an existential threat to the Praxian way of life – much as the westward expansion of settlers into the Great Plains endangered the Plains Indians…

The Size of Genertela

Posted on November 6, 2022

When we think about the size of Genertela, remember that it is roughly 5000 km long from west to east and 1700 wide from north to south. It is a little bit…

Gloranthan Dwarfs

Posted on November 5, 2022

Always keep in mind that Gloranthan dwarves are most emphatically not the Scottish-accented dwarves of the Peter Jackson movies or of most D&D campaigns. A small Gloranthan dwarf might only weigh 10…

Notes on Eiritha

Posted on November 4, 2022

The Herd Mother is the single most widely worshipped deity in Prax. In Sartar, she is worshiped as the Cattle Goddess, and her Praxian Herd Priestesses are known to have a special…
