Updated: 9 March 2002 (new errata since 25 July 2001 marked with **) Special thanks to Jonas Schiött for his assistance with errata in this and other books in the Hero Wars line.
See also the Hero Wars to HeroQuest conversion notes.
| Throughout the book | Orlanth and Ernalda often substitute for the deities of their subcults in Orlanthi society. Thus, whether one says “Orlanth the Chieftain” or “Dar the Chieftain,” all Heortlings will know what (and who) you are talking about. |
| Throughout the write-ups of Ernalda and Orlanth | In all secrets that act as an integrated spirit, the secret provides a bonus equal to 1/4 the secret’s ability rating (not target number) to abilities used in the appropriate circumstance. |
| Page 1 | We offer our sincere apologies to David Dunham, whose name is listed incorrectly as Dave Dunham. |
| Page 4 | We offer up our sincere apologies to GTA initiate Bryan Feir, whose name we misspelled in Thunder Rebels. Bad Stephen, no cookie. |
| Page 7 | The product number of Glorantha: Introduction to the Hero Wars is ISS 1102, not ISS 102. |
| Page 20 | 2nd paragraph: Remove “, except in cases of marriage breach” from the end of the 2nd sentence. Even in cases of marriage breach, both the bride and groom are entitled by law to return with their dowry and brideprice, as long as they have followed the laws and traditions in declaring their divorce. |
| **Page 31 | On the map, the labels for the Creek and the Stream have been switched. Thanks to Jamie MacLaren for spotting this. |
| Page 42 | Body Fines, third bullet point, should read: “… then fifty cows be the price, or five hands of seasons outlawry, or both; if he be maimed, then five hands of cows …” |
| Page 45 | The last sentence on the page should read, in part, “…since any fighting between relatives is kinstrife.” |
| Page 50 | First sentence of last paragraph on page should read, in part, “West of the Quivin Hills …” |
| Page 52 | Third sentence of third complete paragraph on page should read, in part, “West of the Fields is the Beast Valley …” |
| Page 64 | The page reference at the end of Special Sacrifices should read “(see pg. 65).” |
| Page 69 | The second example (under Devotees) is not complete, because Rurik is a devotee of Destor but remains only an initiate of Daylanus. Replace with the following: “After several years of dedication and service, Rurik becomes a devotee. He transfers his entire ability rating from Initiate of Destor Adventurous into the new relationship Devotee of Destor Adventurous. He can now learn the specific feats of his Combat, Movement, and Wind affinities. He remains an initiate of Daylanus and of Orlanth Thunderous, and continues to use the Fight Elements and Storm affinities with an improvisational modifier. Because he has the Wind affinity as a devotee of Destor, he can learn and use any of the Wind feats available to the Orlanth Thunderous aspect without an improvisational modifier. Because he is a devotee of a subcult of one aspect and an initiate of a subcult of a different aspect, he must spend 80% of his time in worship of Orlanth, Destor, and Daylanus. Since Rurik is a weaponthane this is not a problem, becuase he receives full support from his clan as a member of his chieftain’s household.” |
| Page 92 | Caption: Kallyr does in fact worship Orlanth the King, also known as the subcult of Dar the King. |
| Page 98 | Wyter Abilities, 2nd paragraph, change “Community Defense ability” to “Defense ability” |
| Page 102 | Your Wyter: The ability ratings provided in the example do not match the information provided on page 101 to determine wyter ability ratings. More information was originally provided, but ended up being cut due to a lack of space. If “Your Clan” has the population indicated on page 29 (600 adults, including those old or otherwise unfit for the fyrd, the example wyter should have ability ratings of 10W2 in all three of its special abilities. |
| Pages 104-116 | Thanks to Nick Brooke for pointing out that the runes used to represent the phases of the Moon are incorrect in the calendar key and all six calendars. The runes listed for each crescent moon and half moon should be reversed. Thus, the crescent on the Crescent Go rune should be on the left side of the rune, not the right, and similarly for the Full Half Moon. The Crescent Come and Empty Half Moons have the lighter crescent or half on the right, not the left. |
| Page 131 | In case it is not clear, the Mobility Rune in the Forest of the Winds shows the approximate place where worshippers enter the Storm Realm on holy days. |
| Page 135 | 2nd complete paragraph, change “Empty Mountain” to “Doktados Mountain” |
| Page 155 | Cultural Keywords: Any relationship “to Family” is, of course, to the Heortling’s Bloodline, which is his extended family. |

| Page 171 | Priest or Priestess, entry requirements should read in part, “most temples require a minimum 10W ability rating in a primary cult ability or affinity …” |
| Pages 193-198 | In the keywords for Belveren, Bevara, Jera, Orventili, and Votenevra, the Heal People and Heal Relationships Feats should have the Harmony Rune , not the Allmother Rune . |
| Page 197: Orventili the Peacemaker keyword | Add: “Physical Abilities: Make Basket.” |
| Page 204 | Esra’s Bless Barley Field secret should be renamed Bless Barley Field ritual. |
| Page 204 | Uralda’s Bless Cattle Herd secret should be renamed Bless Cattle Herd ritual. |
