AH85906 Sun County (1992)

Cover by Roger Raupp

Sun County – Prax

Sun County is a small enclave of staunchly independent farmers. Their stubborn ways have resisted nomads, famine and drought for centuries.

Strangers are not welcome in the Lands of the Sun, but many are drawn there by the promise of gold, fame, and adventure.

Do you dare to enter the Sun Dome lands?

Sun County is a Gloranthan campaign supplement for the RuneQuest roleplaying game. Sun County contains:

  • Four scenarios for play.

  • Extensive detailed encounter tables.
  • Personal notes and observations of Jaxarte Whyded, Commissioner of the Imperial Census, on his travels through the land.
  • Sundry useful and ornamental details of interest to the Gloranthan scholar.
