Another version of the story tells how King Bryon and his followers
Teleported onto the Bat, killed the controlling Bat Priests, then
Teleported back to safety.

Hi,
Has anyone done anything with cult/society initiation rituals? I'm
planning a run (this friday) for a starting group (one RQ/Glorantha
player), where I plan to run the initiation of a bunch of teenagers
into Sartarite society. While I've got some ideas, I'm just wondering
if anyone else had done this.
As far as the Lunar pigs are concerned, everyone knows that they
embrace chaos, and spread their filthy ways among the clean and pure
Orlanthi. No right thinking man can long stomach their abuses. What
have the Lunars ever done for us? ;-)
(Focus of the campaign is to be Bonny Prince(ess) Starbrow, running
like Scotland ca 1698-1745. Our heros get to be Wrong-but-Romantic,
the Lunars Right-but-Repulsive)

I was involved in a long standing campaign using Lunar PC's. All the
PC's bar one were from a noble household in Northern Peloria, with
lands on the Eolian Border. The first thing that happened was that the
PC's family were discredited due to a dart war the PC's were forced to
leave town for a while and so joined the Lunar Imperial Forces (as
opposed to the highly factionalised local provincial mob) as a method
of evading their foes. The PC's were then sent to Aggar and had to
try and put down a revolt by local auxillaries. The PC's were then
made scapegoats by enemies in high places, stripped of all rank and
sent to Sartar. After the PC's recovered the standard of the lost 7th
legion they were able to curry favour with the powers that be and
returned home with a Lunar Regiment to restore the family name. Many
political machinations followed the upshot of which was the
diminishing of Solar influence and the increase of the PC's provincial
power. Oh and the Bat also paid a visit. It was a fun campaign and
was much more involved and varied than the standard "we hate the
Lunars" type campaign. It wasn't always clear who was friend and who
was foe and someone who was a friend one minute could be a foe the
next and vice versa.
