Hero Wars (JPN 2001)

From 2004:

The japanese license for Hero Wars is held by Guild Corporation of Japan, who contracted Atelier Third to produce a japanese edition of Hero Wars. Following Guild Corporation’s sale to ArcLight, the status of the license is uncertain.

The release is available since November 24th, 2001. The book includes the contents of both Hero Wars (ISS 1101) and Narrator’s Book (ISS 1104), the core Hero Wars rule books. They have included additional information from several other Hero Wars books, including Thunder Rebels (ISS 1301), Glorantha: Introduction to the Hero Wars (ISS 1102), and Anaxial’s Roster (ISS 1103). In addition to a glossary and a comprehensive index, the book also has individual indices of the many gods, keywords, magical abilities, and mundane abilities mentioned in the rules.
