One copy of this splendid issue of Breakout (which also has Stafford's Umathela and Oceans) sold at the Victoria Con, so that person's in for a chuckle or two if they play through it. Look out for this issue, and get it if you can!

Tales #15 features a brilliant albeit chilling scientific analysis of herdman bones found at a Morokanth rubbish heap near Cam's Well. The conclusions give a very different impression of the herdmen than popularly envisaged.

[XXIX. 21-014.Gazetteer/Sartar/DP-RG] The town of Runegate Fort gets its name from the gate in the east wall. This gate is rumoured to have been brought from an ancient city in the Holy Country by the horse people who settled the region, and before that from an even older city, now lost. The gate is shaped like a Luck rune, and the wood which shapes the rune is of a type which no scholar I have found has ever recognised. The rune-carved gates inside the rune are of a much more recent construction.
The gate is named the Fool's Gate - for it is said that only a fool trusts to luck. However, incredibly, the gate was the only part of the town to survive the Crimson Bat in 1602, and the subsequent inferno.
