And it's marvellous.

HotB had the office of Mayor of Boldhome suspended by the Lunars after their conquest of Sartar, then reinstated (controversially) in 1624, when the game is set.

This suggests to me that the Mayor of Boldhome has no Palace, not that there is no Mayor of Boldhome. After all, if we accept the Rough Guide to Boldhome as a source, shouldn't we also consider the contents of the game for which it was written?

David Hall's tribal census in Questlines #1 is a more accessible source. I suspect that at the time the old Sartar Campaign material was written, most player-character Sartarites had French names...

I've always thought of the Barbarian Horde as allies of Sartar's Kingdom (and thereafter the Kingdom of Sartar), not as members in the same sense as the "24" tribes. Like Julian, I'd assume their relations with the Dundealos (as Sartar's Praxian Frontiersmen par excellence) would be normally rather good. FWIW.

I assume this is a misinterpretation of "No Man's March" -- i.e. the western strip of Prax which settlers can't hold onto.

Rick Meints has published his opinions of these and countless other RQ and Gloranthan publications in his MIG II, available now from your local Megacorp dealers.
