Maybe what would help would be a Barbarian Adventures equivalent for S: KoH? Though come to think of it that book is still useful in itself, HW stats aside. I’ve been reading bits of KoS lately, and find it kind of fascinating. Wonder how much updating the new reprint will have. Best,
Zack.

Both seem to draw on middle Iron Age culture for the Orlanthi, over the Viking model that emerged from reading G:CoHW. S:KoH is more approachable for *play* though and I like to think of TR as deep background.
