*I* have not forgotten. Martin Laurie is the one who is having difficulty coming to grips with this. He posted Onslaught's stats and does not have any realization that it would be overpowered in other people's campaigns (look at his defense of Onslaught's stats!). Furthermore he has been asserting that such people are not unusual (statwise) in Glorantha.

Wyrm's Footprints has details on them.

A City Ship returns in 1625 at Sog City. Seshnela is still standing in 1627 from what I know but Mularik Ironeye quits Tanisor in 1629 or so to join Argrath in Dragon Pass and become Regent of Tarsh. Why did he quit? As for the Loskalm Navy, I presume they would try and sink it covertly and offer to take over naval duties themselves.

Who knows. I heard it suggested that they aren't actually Brithini but Vadeli (who would be more interesting to fight against). Greg S. thinks that Brithos doesn't come back. I've also heard rumours of Xamalkela, a land in the far west of the Coast of Luathela. The inhabitants of that tortured land are Westerners who were forced to live in Isolation since the Closing. The 'Brithini' army that conquers Seshnela actually comes from there, desperate to leave their horrible isle for the Land of the Living so that they have resorted to become mercenaries for the Waertagi/Vadeli alliance. Their archaic ways makes most people mistake them as Brithini from Brithos.

>There are mention of Malasp mermen raids on shipping.
>Has anybody developed tactics for these?
See a lone ship, summon "Jaws" (Tyrannopisces Rex), have him circle around the ship a few times. When the crew are suitably shitless, yell in a loud voice to the crew to dump cargo overboard. Pick up cargo. Dismiss "Jaws". Swim off.
Sea Serpents or Sperm Whales or whatever Marine Horror you can control would work just as fine.
