Maps and Diagrams by Greg Stafford. Compilation of myths, stories and colorful background for the Hero Wars. This is useful as a source book for the Hero Wars game as well as a stand alone book. The author calls this an “epistolary detective novel.”  The mystery is, “Who was Prince Argrath?”  The book consists of a series of Gloranthan documents, each with their own prejudices and biases, lies and errors, insights and secrets revealed. (from 15 May 2003)
