AH85711 Gloranthan Bestiary (1988)

World Famous Explorer Returns!

JRUSTELA- Renowned explorer and zoologist Ocron Everseer returned today from his legendary 12-year, world spanning journey. All morning workers have struggled to unload crates of notes and drawings of thousands of Gloranthan creatures, many collected at great risk to life and limb. “The immense variety and diversity of beings in this world is truly amazing!” he exclaimed as he descended the gangplank of his trustworthy cog. “All I now desire,” he continued, “is to complete my dream. I will retire to compile my notes and finish my lifelong work: Everseer’s Compendium of Species.

THE GLORANTHAN BESTIARY contains more than 60 entries, excerpted from the ancient Compendium of Species. It includes descriptions, game statistics, and innumerable notes for each creature. Additionally, many entries are accompanied by a detailed illustration, and every two-page spread contains a world map showing population distributions of the accompanying entries.

The GLORANTHAN BESTIARY is written for Standard Edition RuneQuest. All materials used from Deluxe Edition are reproduced in this book. Of course, the GLORANTHAN BESTIARY can be used with Deluxe Edition RuneQuest.
