Dorastor: Land of Doom
It’s a Very, Very Bad Place.
DORASTOR: Land of Doom, a Gloranthan campaign supplement for the RuneQuest roleplaying game, features a 128-page booklet, a 16-page insert of references and handouts, and a full-color pullout map. DORASTOR includes historical and geographical notes on Dorastor, a land laid waste ages ago by Arkat the Destroyer. Now, in this fertile, chaos-tainted wilderness, any organism is possible, so long as it is tough and ferocious enough to survive. The Riskland campaign setting provides for a full game year of adventure on the borders of this dangerous land. Details of the Telmori Wolf People and the Spider Folk cultures are also included, along with complete write-ups of the Dorasta and Telmor cults.
THE SURGEON-IMPERIAL’S WARNING: Visitors to Dorastor have been determined to provide nourishment and amusement for big, rude, ugly, disgusting things.
