79 – The Cradle

That’s a VERY low waterline on that cradle, must be bouyant as heck. One thing that does look a bit odd though, is the very high prow-wave. Makes the water look a bit… viscous? Also, I’ve tried to research some lore… Will the Uz and Rurik be having a problem here?

Nothing with the size, shape and weight of the cradle will be able to sail down the river without magical assistance anyway. And considering the amount of magical protections and guardians that the giants put in this, having some water elementals push it along on their backs makes sense

As for the Uz – there are actually a bunch of Yelmalions in the big crowd on the left bank here – the trolls and the sun cultists are, very deliberately, kept as far apart from each other as possible.

What an image! So green.

Sure. Although for my money – it’s green, because this is a river bank.

I like the baptist preacher near the shore, blessing the flock, soon to be engulfed by the wave. Wait, you don’t have baptists in your Glorantha?

Those are river priests of the Zola Fel. We’ll see what they’re up to on the next page.
