CHA4013 Griffin Mountain (1981, 2018)

The Book

Gamers have enjoyed playing RuneQuest for a long time now. The time is right for a major
campaign sourcebook.

Griffin Mountain details an area 800 kilometers wide. Elder Wilds is where non-humans live and high adventure thrives. Balazar is a wild frontier where anything can happen.

This book contains extensive notes on the area’s geography, history, and inhabitants.

Meet King Yalaring Monsterslayer who became king of the citadel of Trilus by right of conquest. Visit picturesque Elkoi, built by giants. Trade with Joh Mith, a fat, jovial caravan master with high bargaining skills. Gamble with Hen Cik, one of the caretakers of a legendary castle in Giant Land. Cross the dangerous River of the Damned (full river crossing rules inside). Quest for the powerful windberries, rumored to be found on Griffin Mountain itself. Beware of the ever-present baboons, bears, dragonewts, wild hawks,
trolls.

Get your adventurers ready for a glorious time in Griffin Mountain!
