Cults of RuneQuest: The Gods of Fire and Sky

Deities of the high heavens and the flames beneath the earth

Cults of RuneQuest: The Gods of Fire and Sky is the player’s guide to the deities of the high heavens and the flames beneath the earth. Each cult of the solar pantheon provides new visions of Glorantha, and for creating your RuneQuest adventurer.

  • 13 brand new cults, including Shargash, the god of war and destruction, Lodril, the god of peasants, and the mightiest sun god, Yelm.
  • Rules to create brand-new RuneQuest adventurers belonging to these cults, detailing the skills, passions, spirit magic, and Rune magic each cult offers.
  • Details of the unique organization, history, and nature of each cult.
  • Rules for how your adventurer can grow into a God-talker, Rune Priestess, or even a mighty Sun Lord.
  • The history and genealogy of the solar pantheon, and an encyclopedia of Gloranthan celestiology.

This supplement can be used with the RuneQuest core rules, or combined with other Cults of RuneQuest books to create a RuneQuest adventurer belonging to multiple cults.
