I was disappointed when I converted my longest-running RQ2 character to RQ3. She just didn't feel the same -- despite the significant similarities between the two game systems. Hero Wars is obviously a bigger jump, and your characters *will* feel different.
If this doesn't bother you, don't let me stop you.

I don't think she's an avatar of Kero Fin. Also, the Grazers have *not* changed from Solar worship. There may now be more emphasis of La-ungariant's earth powers.

What do you mean "finally?" Hero Wars follows on the heels of King of Dragon Pass, after all... (Granted, KoDP is not intended as an official history, but its portrayal of proto-Sartarites should be considered pretty accurate, given its clan level scope.)

Pessimist! I've actually seen a Reaching Moon Megacorp publication at my local (Seattle) game store. (OK, I don't consider RMM products to weaken Glorantha, but it's not at all impossible that there could be more fan products for Hero Wars than official ones. And in a worst case scenario, this could cheapen the brand.)
