Really? I remember the lore being different. But then again it's difficult to really read up on it unless you have the gamebooks/the guide to glorantha due to the lack of any good consolidated sites.

eke out posted:the glorantha wiki seems like it's purposefully vague, even. I feel like the Glorantha wiki is acting as an index for people who already know the setting extremely well, but yeah, it's like looking up World Two and getting, like, five bullet points, one of which is "Manhattan Project successful," and not only is there no article for "Manhattan Project," it's not even a dead link.

I recall there being a diffuse fanpage network that predates the whole wiki concept, which has since fallen into disrepair.

Yeah, the problem is that a lot of the setting is old enough that it pre-dates the concept of wikis, and I'm not sure how much it's actually been updated in recent years. I know the Guide to Glorantha came out a few years back and has a lot of info, but there's still stuff that's only found in some random sourcebook from 1995 and poo poo like that.

Yeah, there is, I think a true mostali in this game, which is more than you'd see in any future era.

Cheers for keeping this thread going guys  This was my trip home a few days ago, as I was driving towards the nightmare hell inferno  Here was my drive today (Which is still very smokey)  tl;dr just been dealing with the fires + been very sick with respiratory issues. Update will likely happen tomorrow now that I can actually breath inside my own home again without hacking up a lung Weekend could get extremely hosed with the city sized fire next to me, so looking forward to that

NewMars posted:Sorry to say, but neither of these are true: they're both made of rock/clay, being not the true mostali and you can in fact, trade with them. Possibly. There is a reason you can pick dwarves as your ancient enemy after all. As for what you need to do to win the game, as asked elsewhere, it is probably best to either ask in the proper thread or look it up. All I will say is that it isn't what you do in the other game, but it isn't 100 percent dissimilar. Also kudos on making a succesful clan happen, I always tend to get really low on most everything after a while as I try to spend like I did in KoDP.

The biggest difference I remember is the combat. You want use tactics suitable to the bunch of horse archers you are, so it plays out differently than KODP. I can't really remember any specifics though I played this right when it came out then put it away waiting for the next chapter. Still waiting.

Malia probably wouldn't use something like fire to make you sick, even by extension. But that does bring up a good question, who is the god/goddess of uncontrolled fires? Old Fire? Aether Primolt?

More likely WoW. OP is kind of into it big. Or just bailing on us for work/family stuff, because that's more important than asking people on the internet for votes. E: oh yeah, and the everything on fire near them, that probably played a part.

Uncontrolled fires are actually a spirit called oakfed. yeah the main thing you'd worship a fire god for is to have fire Controlled. There is Oakfed though, who is a very powerful spirit of Wildfire. He got a lot of worship in the Great Darkness for warmth when the sun was dead, which mostly constituted logging and burning poo poo. Everyone respects him and it's kinda tied to a lot of other fire gods, but it's not something you'd worship outright unless you're very weird.

Looking at Glorantha stuff he seems to be a God, but then Raven is a spirit and Eurmal possibly isn't so that makes....sense? Anyhow that does bring up a good point. Are there any recognized larger groups that only worship/placate spirits, not Gods?

Praxians, Doraddidi and Hsunchen are major cultures that only engage in spirit worship. Sometimes people think that Doraddidi and Praxians worship gods, but that's only because they don't know that a god can be a spirit or a spirit a god, too.

Beyond cultural groups, I don't think there's any major empires that were spirit centered. The other major sources of magic - the infinity rune, sorcery, divinity, and chaos/moon - have all been used as the core power source of major empires, but I don't think there's any world-threatening political groups that rely principally on spirits, depending on how you parse Harrek. That's more a question than a statement, because I feel uncertain. Have there been any great political powers where spirit magic was the core of how they powered themselves? The closest I can think of is the god-learners and The Sea Of Flame, but that's really an instance of them using sorcery to hamfist spirits into doing stupid poo poo.

I think you have the Puljeg vampire bat empire in Palmatea, they are a tributary empire but an empire nevertheless.

Spirit magic freely crosses into all cultures, because spirits are everywhere and even the wizards have to admit they're real and need a way to deal with them.

wiegieman posted:Spirit magic freely crosses into all cultures, because spirits are everywhere and even the wizards have to admit they're real and need a way to deal with them. Well, the question was more "which larger culture don't have/recognize gods but do deal with spirits". There's a few ready examples of smaller tribes (like a few dozen to a hundred people or so) that I know of, but I wasn't aware of many larger scale groups. And most of those tended to not live in cities or make much of a fuss for the world at large. Praxians being one of those exceptions is nice to know.

Most of the Hsunchen societies are primarily spirit worshipers, the Rathori bear people and Uncoling reindeer people are solid examples of large groups that are primarily spirit based though the Hsunchen have never been much for forming giant world ending culture blocks so they don't tend to get a ton of focus.

Big enough spirits tend to get worshiped like gods, and the major spirit magic users also tend to have gods. The Praxians have their chief god and heroic ancestor Waha the Butcher, who they interact with both as a major spirit that can give charms and as a god that can give rune magic. (In HeroQuest game terms, Waha has the Death, Mastery, and Spirit runes.)
