To our regret, always Japaneses are poor linguists to Foreign
Languages...most Japanese learned English in Compulsory Education as Cipher,
machination, Mechanic for Science and test of patience and fidelity to Order
of Structure...
And most of us never know frequent English in Life. And see movies with
subtitles.

I hope All and More.
"If I see around me and feel Vastness of World, I am Nothing.
But if I can imagine the Roundness
of Terra Incognito, I (and all men on Surface) is Center of World.
I don't always judge myself when something moves me."
If we judge something, we will be judged from Others as Daniel read over
Wall.

Art from Antigods, and was accompanied by abominable Living Deads and
Cannibalists HuanTos who controlled them.

Dead Spirits to wait Ascension of Dragon Emperors here and join them.

Draconic Monuments. He gained Help of Alou Blushman and incorporated
Darudanic Mysticism to Nation and instruction of Mandarins. He wandered
about his realm incognito and healed troubles of his People.

called Cosimc Compromise by Storm Barbarians.) After it, he became perfect
Dragon.

his Death for they felt too much grief. Determined Exarchs exiled to Kingdom
of Ignorance and prepared return back to Kralorela.
ShangHsa, "May His Name is Cursed" : Anti Dragon, Other Name is MaoTzen) He was not True Emperor. He was accompanied with Western Barbarians (called God Learners) in "New Dragon Ring" and polluted Great Tradition of Thousands of Years with his Evil and hid his fault during his oppression Hundreds of Years. But at last, Heaven and True Dragons angered against his Atrocities and Exarchs made his downfall at War in Heaven.
Godunya
He was peddler of City Hsin Yin. After he succeeded Abdication of ShangHsa,
he was negative to enthrone himself, secluding far from Empire to Plateau of
Statue in Wasteland until Exarchs and Mandarins sensed his high Virtue.
Since then, to Now Golden Dragon Emperor's Reign has always been perfect
except Barbarians usurped his right. But Always Evil comes from Outside as
ShangHsa and Sheng Seleris, he showed his true Draconic Figure and expelled

Western Bloody Coloured Moon, Empire restored to Normal Condition, Rightful
Emperor enthroned again.

Concept of Pentan Nomads:
Jyhad is always important, why do we want to abandone Pureness of Wasteland
and indulge in Hollow Luxury of Civilzation and weak soft nature? Don't
forget our Motivation and Homeland, they give us Strength. Kill Evil and
bring back Treasure which they stole before God Age, Jyhad is All.
Preface:
1: They are Sun Worshippers of Kargzant. (Exception is Storm Worshippers:
Bronze Prophet Supporters)
2: They may be Descendants of Hyalor. Savior of Goddess Hippoi. (Hyalor was
maybe Pelorian Bawl Horse Nomad of Nivorah, not Hero of Pent. see Mythology
of the Wyrms Footprint: Solar Pantheon.)
3: They are divided to Two Types: Pure Horse Riders and Gongarilli. (Greg
Stafford mentioned Many Types of Horses in Glorantha: see Londarios Library
in Issaries com.)
4: They sometimes invaded to Peloria for some reason (and Richness) They are
always brutal Invaders for Pelorians.
5: They were descendants of Sun Empire of Theist Plane or Genert Garden of
Animists. (or Both.)
Expectation:
1: They revere brutality and like bloodshed and massacre. (See about Sheng
Seleris in RQ Con4 Compendium)
2: They have many varieties of Tribes as Praxians. (See Redline History
Third Wane and Names of Tribes.) Think about Praxians famous for variety of
Many Tribes of Waha, Impala, Sable, High Llama, Bison and Morokanth. But
they ride only Horses. How to make their specialities?
3: What is RW parallel? Many Races of Central Asia and Russia have lived in
Long History. While Europians imagine Saracens and Turkeys, Asians know
Huns, Mongolians. Think about Praxians derived from African Steppes and
Savannas, Middle American Plateaus and Pampas.
4: What is fun for Each of us? FREX, I like Mongolian and Oiglat Myths (But
more Primitive and Animistic than Orthodox Godlearnish Yelmic Mythology.
Many Beast Gods. West Gods are Evil and East Gods are Good.(Kralorela and
Dara Happa?)) Dawn Age Jenarongs may be Attila and Huns. (And perhaps
Orlanthi of First Council are Dietrich and his Warriors?)
Application to Glorantha:
1: Simple Ideology: FREX, for Orlanthi, "Freedom". For Dara Happans,
"Order". Lunars, "Illumination". Praxians, "Survival"?
Alkothi, "Sacrifice", etc...
2: Elemental Connections, even for Poverty of Praxians, Five Dominant Tribes
have Preference Elementals. Bison like Storm. Morokanth like Darkness, Sable
like Moon, etc.. Greg Stafford often use it for Simplization for Problem.
3: RW parallel nearest, For Lunars, they are Romans. In Ralios, they may be
Italian Nations and City States in circa Renaissance...In Carmania, they are
Persians before Islam. Orlanthi, they are Norse Residents of Classical
Europe.
4: Ridge of Fire...Pivotal Point. (I pay attention to Japanese Pent Pack for
Fanzines...) For Pentans, Keyword may be Power or Loyality. I like they are
always in War than Praxians.
Reference should be applied to Many Works of Martin Laurie, he wrote about many for Pentans as Antagonist of Empire. David Dunham and Rob Heinsoo. Finally, in Convulsion 2K appeared Genghis Khan and Sheng Seleris (I don't know meaning of thess words...)
