For our third episode of Wind Words, we decided to have a look at the narrative in Cults of Prax.

But before that comes our regular look at the news and rumors.

The Herald’s Podium

Corona Virus-related news items:

Rumours

Main Topic: Biturian’s Travels (part 1)

Cults of Prax

The first Glorantha supplement for RuneQuest 2 for the setting of Glorantha, now available in the Gloran tha Classics series and also as part of the RuneQuest Classics Cult Compendium.

Presumably the first splatbook in the history of roleplaying products,

Ludo mentions Shannon Appelcline’s Designers and Dragons, a four volume history of roleplaying written by a Chaosium insider, and kept up to date over on rpg.net.

Biturian’s Travels

First stop: Hender’s Ruins

A Baboon Daka Fal ceremony observed by Biturian, manifesting the spirit world or even God Time to the observer.

Second stop: The Block

Talking about Truestone, Gloranthan honey, troll caravans, sugar and Aldryami syrup.

Third stop; Day’s Rest

A bison wedding, parallels to Sacagawea from the Lewis&Clarke expedition, slave bracelets, bolgs (not clacks), detection magics and hiding from them.,

Conclusion: a praise for the narratives in the rules books and supplements: Rurik Runespear (RQ2 rules), Biturian Varosh (Cults of Prax), Paulis Longvale (Cults of Terror), non-Gloranthan Cormac the Pict (RQ3), Jaxarte Whyded (Sun County), Samastina (HeroQuest Glorantha) and Vasana (RQG).
