King of Sartar, How a Man became a God
Reprint edition. ISBN 1-929052-00-6. $19.95
  288 pages, trade paperback size, 17 Maps and Diagrams

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. 

Table of Contents:

  • Introduction. P 6.
  • Annotated Argrath’s Saga. P 14. Argrath’s epic story, as related many years after the Hero Wars.
  • The Zin Letters. P 40. Correspondance from the early post-Hero Wars Era.
  • Orlanthi Mythology. P 49. Excellent collection of tales to overview the Orlanthi mythology, as it was in the Hero Wars period.
  • Composite History of Dragon Pass. P 99. Document purportedly given to Argrath as a wedding present. Wealth of local detail about the Dragon Pass area and history.
  • The Argrath Book. P 163. Documents about the Lightbringers Quest, Argrath, and the EWF.
  • Jalk’s Book. P 194. Data on the Colymar Tribe, Boldhome and the Grazers; and a most valuable anthropological overview of the Heortling culture. 
  • Conclusions. P 261. Some whacko theories by the Gloranthan compiler of this book.
